Workflow Steps

  • Webhook Trigger: The workflow begins with a webhook that listens for incoming POST requests, allowing external systems to trigger the workflow.
    2. Set Parameters: This node initializes necessary parameters such as the Confluence base URL, template ID, target space key, and parent page ID.
    3. Get Template Content: It fetches the content of the specified template from Confluence using the provided template ID.
    4. Replace Placeholders: The workflow processes the template content to replace any placeholders with actual data provided in the webhook request.
    5. Create Page: Finally, it sends a request to Confluence to create a new page using the modified template content, including the title and body formatted correctly.
