Once the copy is made, click "OK" to start the setup!
Step 3: Set the trigger to activate when a page is created in Confluence
First, select the "Page Created" option from the Confluence icon to begin setting it up!
The next page is already set up. Ensure that the trigger action is set to "Page Created" and proceed to the next page.
Next, set the trigger activation interval. The trigger activation timing can be set to either 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes. Depending on your plan, the shortest interval for setting the trigger may vary, so be sure to check this. It is generally recommended to use the shortest activation interval available for your plan.
Click inside the frame to display "candidates" and select the desired candidate to use for the cloud ID.
Once the above settings are complete, switch to Confluence and create a page for testing purposes. (Feel free to set the content of the page as you like!)
After completing the page creation, return to the Yoom screen. When you run the test, the information from the page you just created will be retrieved as output, so click the "Save" button. ※Reference: For more about the output, please see here.
Step 4: Create a new card in Trello
