1. Determine the CLI action(s) you want to run on your Confluence instance.
2. Use the Confluence CLI client to test running of the action(s) to ensure you have the right parameters and it does everything you need. In the case of creating a page, make sure the page looks they way you want it.
   • Use addPage to create a new page. An alternative is to use storePage if you want to create a page or overwrite an existing page.

The above shows the setup required to run a Confluence action as part of a JIRA workflow. Once that is mastered, you can easily extend your example to cover more advanced user scenarios. That usually means a more complicated Confluence action needs to be run. It is best and fastest to construct that by using the Confluence client to test first and then once you are happy with the result, it can be copied back into the JIRA post function. Here are some scenarios:

--content " ... \n {jira:%original_key%} \n ..."

--findReplace LINK_TO_ISSUE:%original_key%

<p>
  <ac:macro ac:name="jira">
    <ac:default-parameter>LINK_TO_ISSUE</ac:default-parameter>
  </ac:macro>
