Not at the moment. We will look into this in the future but we don't have a roadmap or timelines at this stage.

We have a public ticket tracking this: <https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-269>

Regards,

I have already commented in Ryan Davis' response:

One way to connect Jira Automation with Confluence is to use the plugin [mailto.wiki - Send Emails to Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1223249/mailto-wiki-send-emails-to-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview).

The thing is, it always creates new pages. Changing values on an existing page is not possible. Hopefully, it will still help you.  

If you are interested in this solution I have published a detailed blog post on this topic here:

We are using Jira and Confluence together to track and manage blog creation and publishing for a website.

Right now we create Jira issues to track each article from Idea -\> Author Assign -\> Draft -\> Review -\> Publish.

We also use Confluence to manage the actual blog content from draft to review to publish on Wordpress. Atlassian has a great article on blog creation management using Confluence and Jira for their own internal blogs, which is what inspired us.

Right now we have to manually create a Confluence page for each new Jira blog tracking issue, and manually create the link between page\<-\>issue. (do this with a /jira link embed in the confluence page)

I'm surprised there is "huge demand" for automation like this.

Or maybe our approach is not efficient to begin with, is there a better way I'm not seeing?

I just made this same comment on an older (2018) question before I found this more recent question / answer, link to the old one:

Thanks for giving some context to your workflow! At this stage I'm not aware of any native functionality that allows you to create a Confluence page automatically from Jira (however there may be a solution from a third party developer on the Atlassian Marketplace).

We are actively looking into this but are still in early stages of design and scoping. There are also a number of technical hurdles for us to overcome. Again I don't have a timeline to share because we are still at such an early stage.

Thanks,

John

Jira Automation can send emails as action and mailto.wiki can convert emails into Confluence pages/posts. This allows you to automatically create confluence pages when you create Jira blog tracking issues.  

If you are interested in this solution I have published a detailed blog post on this topic here:

mailto.wiki is currently only available as a cloud plugin. However, at the end of April 2021, we will also release a server version.
