Create Jira Issue When a Page or Blog Post is Approved

You can register Event Listeners to fire on events provided by 3rd party plugins.

In the example below, once the final ApprovalApprovedEvent happens (not a partial approval), a new Jira issue will be created (on behalf of the current user) in the linked Jira instance.

Have a look at Comala Workflow’s JavaDoc for more information/more events.

@WithPlugin("com.comalatech.workflow")

def event = event as ApprovalApprovedEvent

if (!event.isPartial()) {
    def appLinkService = ComponentLocator.getComponent(ApplicationLinkService)
    def appLink = appLinkService.getPrimaryApplicationLink(JiraApplicationType) // <1>
    def applicationLinkRequestFactory = appLink.createAuthenticatedRequestFactory()

    def approvalComment = event.approval.comment
    def body = new JsonBuilder([
        fields: [ // <2>
            project    : [key: "PROJECT_KEY"],
            summary    : "Confluence Page Created",
            description: "A page has been created and approved by administrators with comment: \"${approvalComment}\"",
            issuetype  : [name: "Story"]
        ]
    ]).toString()

    def request = applicationLinkRequestFactory.createRequest(POST, "/rest/api/2/issue")
        .addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")
        .setEntity(body)

    request.execute(new ResponseHandler<Response>() { // <3>
        @Override
        void handle(Response response) throws ResponseException {
            if (response.statusCode != 201) {
                log.error("Creating Jira issue failed: ${response.responseBodyAsString}")
            }
        }
    })
}

Line 20: Retrieves the primary Jira application link

Line 25: Specify values for the issue's fields here. Further examples of this can be found here.

Line 37: Executes the request

Jira and Confluence need to be properly linked for this to work. If you haven't done so, you can find instructions here.
