Users

When using the "user" parameter in a JSON trigger action, it is only possible to include the Atlassian userID, and in some cases a user type workflow parameter.

(info) 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:

Groups

When using the "group" parameter in a JSON trigger action, you can include either the Confluence groupName and/or the Confluence 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

Workflow parameters

Workflow parameters defined in the workflow can be added to some trigger actions using the enclosed in the "@" operator.

(info) 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",
