To use the confluenceURL variable user need to perform following action
Create Email template with ‘confluenceURL’ variable
Create rule with Confluence and email action
The confluence action must be before the email action to get ‘confluenceURL’ variable gets filled
Handing over URL information for variable
Case 1.
Sequence is Confluence → Confluence → Email
Here system will fill/handover URL of 2nd action
Case 2.
Sequence is Confluence → email → Confluence → email
Here system will fill/handover URL of both actions for each respective email actions
Case 3.
Sequence is email → Confluence → Confluence
Here system will not fill/handover any URL actions as confluence action is configured after Email action
