Users
When using the "user" parameter in a JSON trigger, it is only possible to include the userID, and in limited cases a user type workflow parameter.
A JSON trigger action does not accept the Confluence userName.
In the example below, the assign trigger action uses the Confluence userID.
"triggers":
[
{"event": "on-change-state",
"conditions":
[
{"state": "Review"}
],
"actions":
[
{"action": "assign",
"approval": "Teamreview",
"user": "5d52a37ef0f22a0da2d6f070"}
]}
]
In the example below, the approve trigger action specifies the approver using a Confluence userID.
"triggers":
[
{"event": "on-change-state",
"conditions":
[
{"state": "Review"}
],
"actions":
[
{"action": "approve",
"approval": "Teamreview",
"user": "5d52a37ef0f22a0da2d6f070"}
]}
]
The "user" parameter is used in the following JSON trigger actions:
The userId can also be added to the "recipients" parameter in the send-email trigger action.
Groups
When using the "group" parameter in a JSON trigger, you can include either the groupName and/or the groupID, and in some cases a group type workflow parameter.
In the example below, the send-email trigger action uses the Confluence group name qa_reviewteam for the recipients of the custom email.
"triggers":
[
{"event": "on-change-state",
"conditions":
[
{"state": "QAReview"}
], "actions":
[
{"action": "send-email",
"recipients":
[
"qa_reviewteam"
],
"notification": {"subject": "${content.title} is in the QAReview approval state",
"title": "${content.title} is in the QAReview approval state",
"body": "Hello, ${content.link} in the ${content.space} space is in the QAReview approval state and needs to be reviewed for publishing"}}
]}
]
For trigger actions, the "group" parameter is only currently used in the
- assign trigger action as approval reviewers assignees
- send-email trigger action as a value for
"recipients"
Workflow parameters
Workflow parameters defined in the workflow can be added to some trigger actions using the enclosed in the "@" operator.
For triggers, a user or group type workflow parameter is only currently valid for use in the send-email trigger action as a value for "recipients".
"triggers":
[
{"event": "on-change-state",
"conditions":
[
{"state": "Approved"}
],
"actions":
[
{"action": "send-email",
"recipients":
[
"@creator",
"@my_project_team@",
"@my_QA_leader@"
],
"notification": {"subject": "${content.title} is in the Approved published state",
"title": "${content.title} is in the Approved published state",
"body": "Hello, ${content.link} in the ${content.space} space is in the Approved published state"}}
]}
]
If adding the JSON trigger using workflow builder there is no need to include the opening "triggers": JSON markup notation, since it will be added by workflow builder.
