Background

Confluence allows special type of content & formatting via macros. ARN makes it possible to insert some of such macros in the templates & then publish them onto a Confluence page when the automation rule is executed.

If you notice the below image, in ARN Confluence template you will have an option called Add Macros. Clicking on Add Macros displays the list of macros supported.
