Page History

Type of event in ConfiForms this IFTTT action should be fired on

• On Created
• On Modified
• On Deleted

This is used in advanced techniques, when you want to use the result of the IFTTT in next IFTTT or want to save the result of some IFTTT or some part of the result back into a ConfiForms record. See below the result types and the contents stored in the result for each IFTTT action.

A result (depending on the action type) is stored in the context in the variable prefixed by "iftttResult_"

And is accessible using the Velocity notation via

${iftttResult_RESULTNAME}

Where "RESULTNAME" is the value given in this macro parameter.

Some results hold rich objects. See "Result type" section for exact IFTTT action below

Adds label to a page, you can apply a label (or labels) to page sub-pages as well

Page object (page where the watcher's were added)

Depending on the IFTTT result name you can access all of the properties available from Page object.

For example (when result name is MYRESULT)

${iftttResult_MYRESULT.id}
${iftttResult_MYRESULT.spaceKey}
${iftttResult_MYRESULT.displayTitle}

Any other property, which Page object provide (any "get" method)

Sends a request to configured Application link service

A user specifies which HTTP method to use, which URL service to execute (url must be given as "relative" url, this means it is "concatenated" with the base url in your applink service)

More about Application links in Confluence could be found here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/APPLINKS/Application+Links+Documentation

Response returned from a request to a service is returned and stored as result

If response is a JSON then you can apply Virtual functions to work on a JSON object

Please note that virtual functions could be applied only on ConfiForms fields, not the IFTTT result directly. This means you will need to save the response to some ConfiForms field temporarily in order to apply the functions and convert the response to JSON.

Copies data from one ConfiForms form to another, can have custom mapping for fields and have a filter applied before copying the data

Also, it can "flatten" the multi-select values to copy the data to a new form in an "expanded" view

Please note that if you leave the filter empty then ALL the records from a source form will be copied to a destination form.

To copy just one, current record, you will need to apply the following filter

id:[entry.id]

Executes a SQL statement you specify on your database (on the database connection you have configured)

You must specify a valid SQL statement - either INSERT or UPDATE

Similar to "Copy ConfiForms Data" action you can filter records on original form before copying, as well as "flatten" records in order to have multi-value fields as separate rows (if necessary)

ConfiForms uses JDBC driver to connect to your database. See more on Some guidelines on using database fields in ConfiForms and Working with database fields in ConfiForms

Creates a file, based on the content you specify in macro body and uploads it as attachment.

See more Creating a file with calendar invitation (ics) and sending it via email with ConfiForms

You need to specify field name to use to store the reference to a created attachment - ConfiForms field of type "File" is the preferred field type to store this

Creates blog post based on the contents in macro body and the title given.

Blog post will be created in a Confluence space specified.

You can apply labels to a created blog post

Created Blog Post - complete object, as https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence/5.8.9/com/atlassian/confluence/pages/BlogPost.html

Example:

${iftttResult_MYRESULT.id}
${iftttResult_MYRESULT.displayTitle}
other properties from BlogPost object

(if result was named "MYRESULT")

Creates (or updates) ConfiForms Entry in the specified form

Additionally, you can stop the propagation of the "create/update" events completely.

To update the current ConfiForms record leave the "Reference to form and it's location" empty and in parameters to set specify:

entryId=[entry.id]

To target the current record

Created entry object, same as in Copy ConfiForms Data

${iftttResult_MYRESULT.somefield}

Where "somefield" is the name of the field in ConfiForms form

Creates JIRA issue based on the JSON mapping given

See Creating JIRA issue with ConfiForms

You can add users as watchers to created JIRA issue. Must be a valid user (list of users) given

When you want to add an attachment to JIRA issue from ConfiForms file field - you will need to place the "ConfiForms Field" macro inside the ConfiForms IFTTT macro body. This way, you will tell ConfiForms, in addition to issue creation, to upload the file to JIRA. You can upload multiple files, just by placing additional ConfiForms Field macros referencing other file fields into the macro body

JSON mapping wrapped in "No Format" macro to have a raw text

JSON mapping should be of structure specified in JIRA REST API - https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/jira-apis/jira-rest-apis/jira-rest-api-tutorials/jira-rest-api-example-create-issue

Created issue KEY as text

${iftttResult_MYRESULT}

(if result was named "MYRESULT")

Creates Confluence page based on the template given (in macro body)

See Creating links in original ConfiForms entry to just created page

Using ConfiForms as a page template

asEntryRef(REF_TO_ENTRY)

Page object (page created)

Depending on the IFTTT result name you can access all of the properties available from Page object.

For example (when result name is MYRESULT)

${iftttResult_MYRESULT.id}
${iftttResult_MYRESULT.spaceKey}
${iftttResult_MYRESULT.displayTitle}
...

Any other property, which Page object provides (any "get" method)

Creates a personal task for a given user.

Please note that personal tasks has been deprecated in Confluence since version 5.7 (?)

Participants here are the user will task will be created for

Task object (created)

https://docs.atlassian.com/mywork-api/1.11.1.8/com/atlassian/mywork/model/Task.html

For example (when result name is MYRESULT)

${iftttResult_MYRESULT.title}
...

Any other property, which Task object provides (any "get" method)

Deletes the ConfiForms entries by a given filter

To delete the current record use the filter like this:

id:[entry.id]

Deletes the page in Confluence

A user must have enough permissions to delete the page

Page object to be deleted

Depending on the IFTTT result name you can access all of the properties available from Page object.

For example (when result name is MYRESULT)

${iftttResult_MYRESULT.id}
${iftttResult_MYRESULT.spaceKey}
${iftttResult_MYRESULT.displayTitle}
...

Any other property, which Page object provides (any "get" method)

Forces page re-index

Sometimes you want a particular page to be re-indexed when a ConfiForms entry get's created/updated or deleted. This action type helps you to achieve that.

Resolved Page object to re-index

Depending on the IFTTT result name you can access all of the properties available from Page object.

For example (when result name is MYRESULT)

${iftttResult_MYRESULT.id}
${iftttResult_MYRESULT.spaceKey}
${iftttResult_MYRESULT.displayTitle}
...

Any other property, which Page object provides (any "get" method)

Makes GET or POST request to a configured resource

GET request is made when an IFTTT macro body is empty

POST request is made when an IFTTT macro contains a body, then this contents is sent to a configured resource as a stream, via POST request

Response text returned from a request made.

${iftttResult_MYRESULT}

(when result name is set as "MYRESULT")

Moves attachment from one page to another

You should specify the attachment ID to be moved and the page destination it should be moved to. A user must have enough permissions to attach the file to a destination page and enough permissions to read the configured attachment.

Can move multiple attachments in one go, See Virtual functions for "asAttachment" function to see how

Moves page from one location to another

A user performing an operation should have enough permissions (to move the page from source location to destination location)

Moved page as object. Any property a Page object has

For example (when result name is MYRESULT)

${iftttResult_MYRESULT.id}
${iftttResult_MYRESULT.spaceKey}
${iftttResult_MYRESULT.displayTitle}
...

Any other property, which Page object provides (any "get" method)

Page object, Any property a Page object  via

${iftttResult_MYRESULT.<PAGE_OBJECT_PROPERTY>}

Removes page watcher or watchers from the page

Silently ignores if a page does not have a requested watcher to be removed.

Page object, Any property a Page object via

${iftttResult_MYRESULT.<PAGE_OBJECT_PROPERTY>}

A user performing an operation should have enough permissions to modify the page

Page object, Any property a Page object via

${iftttResult_MYRESULT.<PAGE_OBJECT_PROPERTY>}

Renders a contents of it's body and adds the result of a render into a result chain

What render macro renders, as string

${iftttResult_MYRESULT}

Executes a JavaScript snippet given in the IFTTT macro body

Code snippet is executed in the "init" block

<script type="text/javascript">
  AJS.toInit(function() {
      ...
      YOUR CODE WILL BE HERE
      ...
  });
</script>

And will be executed on a page load.

An internal object holding a JavaScript snippet

You can access script value (as text)

${iftttResult_MYRESULT.script}or${iftttResult_MYRESULT}

(when IFTTT result is called "MYRESULT")

Send email to a recipient or a group of recipients

Each email is sent individually

To add ConfiForms file field to an email as attachment - place ConfiForms Field macro into the IFTTT macro body

Email server configured in your Confluence server is used for sending the emails

Emails sent by ConfiForms are NOT queued and sent immediately (to avoid "bulk" message flags, and sent "individual and personal" direct messages)

Is the template to be used to construct an email message body

See more on Sending an email with attachments from ConfiForms

NO RESULT (for versions of ConfiForms prior to 1.39.2)

The following properties are supported from version 1.39.2

subject
body
recipientsCount

This means, you can access it with

${iftttResult_MYRESULT.subject}
${iftttResult_MYRESULT.body}
${iftttResult_MYRESULT.recipientsCount}

Sends internal notification to a user (or users) in Confluence

Notification will appear in the top-right corner. The message body is configured using the ConfiForms macro body

Updates JIRA issue

JIRA issue key must be set as macro parameter, could be looked up dynamically from ConfiForms field

It is a wrapper action to ease the setup of updates to JIRA issue from ConfiForms. Same could be achieved with the help of "Applink service" action

IFTTT macro body should hold a JSON structure to update the JIRA issue (use "No Format" macro to construct JSON structure as-is)

Example:

Another example:

See more on JSON structure the "update JIRA issue" API expects

https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/jira-apis/jira-rest-apis/jira-rest-api-tutorials/updating-an-issue-via-the-jira-rest-apis

Issue key as text, accessible directly via result name (for example, if result name is "MYRESULT")

${iftttResult_MYRESULT}
