- Connect discussion themes to existing knowledge
- Avoid creating duplicate pages for recurring topics
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canvas and Confluence once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify an existing relevant Confluence page from each new discussion message and add a concise topic label when a confident match exists.
- 4Pick the New Canvas Discussion Message trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real message and verify the page selected and label added.
Questions about this workflow
Will a new Confluence page be created if there is no match?
No. This workflow labels existing content. It should report when it cannot identify a relevant page.
Can it label the discussion itself?
The target action adds a label to Confluence content. The workflow uses the message as context to identify Confluence content to label.
