Content Expiry Workflow trigger

This workflow has the following JSON trigger

[
	{"event": "on-expire",
	"actions":
	[
		{"action": "send-email",
			"recipients": ["@creator", "@watchers", "@lastUpdatedBy"],
			"notification":
				{"subject": "${content.title} has expired",
				"title": "${content.title} has expired",
				"body": "Hello, ${content.link} in the ${content.space} space has expired and needs to be reviewed"}},
		{"action": "set-message",
			"type": "info",
			"title": "Expired",
			"body": "The page has expired",
			"tags": "state",
			"mode": "autoClose"}
	]}
]

The JSON trigger listens for the state expiry event and when this occurs

sends emails to the content watchers
displays an on-screen message when users view the page

Quality Management System Workflow trigger

The QMS Workflow has the following JSON trigger:

[
	{"event": "on-change-state",
	"conditions":
	[
		{"state": "In Approval"}
	],
	"actions":
	[
		{"action": "send-email",
			"recipients": ["@document_user_reviewers@", "@document_group_reviewers@"],
			"notification":
				{"subject": "${content.title} is In Approval State",
				"title": "${content.title} is In Approval State",
				"body": "Hello, ${content.link} in the ${content.space} space is in approval state and needs to be reviewed"}}
	]}
]

The JSON trigger listens for the state change event with a condition limiting this to the transition to the In Approval state. When this event occurs

email notifications are sent to the reviewers assigned to the content review in the In Approval state

The workflow reviewers for the In Approval state content review are

user(s) who are added as a Confluence userID value(s) for the workflow parameters document users reviewers
users who are a member of the Confluence group(s) added as a Confluence group (groupName or groupID) value(s) for the workflow parameter document group reviewers
