  How to create pages in Confluence with ConfiForms —

  What you will build

  A form that creates a Confluence page and stores a reference to that page in the submitted record.

  About this example

  The first IFTTT rule creates the page from a layout; the second reads its result and updates the record. The example also demonstrates a dynamic reference to the record’s content on the generated page.

  Before you start

  Use a Confluence Cloud test space with ConfiForms installed. You need permission to configure the form, and the account used by the action must be able to create pages in the destination. Choose a test parent page and adapt any page and form references.

  Build it step by step

  1. Create a form named pagecreator with fields title (Text), contents (Textarea) and createdPage (Page).
  2. Add a Hide field rule for createdPage with condition *, and add a registration control for the form.
  3. Add an onCreated IFTTT rule with action Create Page. Set the destination and title, provide the page layout, and name the result PC.
  4. After it, add an onCreated rule with action Create ConfiForms Entry and mapping entryId=[entry.id]&createdPage=[iftttResult_PC.id].
  5. Add a TableView, publish the configuration page and submit a record with a unique test title.

  Check the result

  Open the generated page and check its title, location and content. Confirm that the record’s createdPage field points to it. If you use the dynamic reference shown in this example, edit the source record and reload the generated page to confirm that the displayed value updates.
