Now, let's explain how to use the no-code tool Yoom to "notify direct when a page is created in Confluence".

[What is Yoom]

How to Notify direct When a Page is Created in Confluence

This can be achieved by receiving the creation of a page in Confluence using Confluence's API and notifying direct using direct's API. Generally, programming knowledge is required to achieve this, but with the no-code tool Yoom, it can be easily achieved without programming knowledge.

We will create it through the following major processes:

Register Confluence and direct as My Apps
Copy the template
Set the Confluence trigger, which serves as the starting point of the flow, and the subsequent direct operation settings
Turn on the trigger button and verify the integration operation between Confluence and direct

If you are not using Yoom, please register for free from here.
If you are already using Yoom, please log in.

Step 1: Connect Confluence and direct with My Apps

Register My Apps to connect Confluence and direct to Yoom.
By registering My Apps first, you can easily set up automation.

First, register My Apps for Confluence.
Click "My Apps" → "New Connection" on the left side of the Yoom screen.

An app list and search bar will be displayed, so use either to select Confluence.
Follow the on-screen instructions to enter your account information and log in.

This completes the My Apps connection for Confluence.

Next, register My Apps for direct.
Similarly, find direct from the app list or search for it in the search bar.

Refer to the instructions and obtain the "Client ID" and "Client Secret" from here.
Enter the obtained information and click "Add".

This completes the My Apps connection for direct.

Once both My Apps registrations are complete, Confluence and direct will be displayed in My Apps.

Next, let's proceed with the setup using the Flowbot template.
Log in to Yoom and click "Try it" on the banner below.

The message "Template has been copied!" will be displayed, and clicking "OK" will complete the copy.

Step 2: Set the Trigger

Next, set the trigger in Confluence. Click "When a page is created".

Check the "Account information to integrate with Confluence".
You can freely change the title, but leave the trigger action as is and click "Next".

Next, configure the API.
You can select the "Trigger interval" from intervals of 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes.
Please note that the shortest trigger interval varies depending on the plan.

Select the "Cloud ID" from the options.

After setting, click "Test".

When you run the test, information will be displayed in the output.
Confirm that the information is displayed and click "Save".

Next, click "Get Page".

Check the "Account information to integrate with Confluence".

Confirm that the information is displayed and click "Save".

Step 3: Set the Action

Next, set the action for direct. Click "Notify direct".

Next, check the "Account information to integrate with direct".
You can freely change the title, but do not change the execution action.

Configure the "API connection settings".
Check the red line and enter the "Talk ID".
