Use workflow triggers to add flexibility and automated actions

Use a workflow trigger to listen for a workflow event and automatically execute actions such as sending a custom email notification, adding a screen message notification, adding expiry due dates, or removing page restrictions.

A space administrator can add one or more workflow triggers to a custom workflow using the visual editor:

Workflow triggers added to the workflow are displayed in the visual editor

Searching and Reporting

Document Report

You can easily see the current workflow status on pages and blog posts across a space using the Document Report. Open the document report from the Confluence sidebar menu.

Document Activity

Page editors can easily view the workflow Document Activity on each page or blog post. Access the document activity for a page using the page tools menu or the three-dot menu in the state dialog box.

See who approved the content, who assigned a reviewer, when a change of workflow state occurred, and the page version when the document activity occurred

Document activity report for a page

Use the included report page macros to display dynamic workflow information on your pages.



Have a different business process, team practice, or compliance need? Create and use a custom workflow

You can create a custom workflow in the document management space settings by

  • choosing the Duplicate option for one of the bundled workflows and customizing the copy for your team, project, business, or process
