Hold Coupa approvals after Confluence access changes

Trigger

Content Restrictions Changed

Triggers when view or edit restrictions change on a Confluence page or blog post. Detects user/group restrictions being added, removed, or modified.

Action

Hold Approval

Tool to place an approval on hold. Use when you need to pause approval workflow temporarily.

Why this helps

Access changes can affect who should review or act on a related approval.

  • Creates a deliberate review checkpoint
  • Connects access changes to finance work
  • Reduces permission surprises

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Confluence and Coupa once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation that identifies the related approval and explains the hold reason.
  • 3Pick Content Restrictions Changed as the trigger.
  • 4Choose a report channel for holds and exceptions.
  • 5Test with one restricted page linked to a pending approval.

Questions about this workflow

Will every restriction change hold an approval?

Only when your instruction and available references identify a related pending Coupa approval.

Can the hold reason include the changed restriction?

Yes. Notis can summarize the access change in the Coupa hold action context.
