One workflow I wish that Confluence supported natively was the ability to send an email to a confluence page and then attach the files in that email to the page. After doing some research, I wasn’t able to find a solution that was simple and extensible, so I built one with Zapier.

Automate using Zapier

Zapier has a number of popular apps that they offer at the free tier and several apps provided by Zapier

Zapier native apps

Zapier has a native app that provides an email gateway. This app is called Email by Zapier and provides a unique email address to send to and integrate with other applications. Though Zapier does have Confluence app, this app only supports one action, to create a page or blog post.

Zapier actions for Confluence Cloud

Digging through Confluence Cloud’s api, there is an endpoint that allows you to attach documents to a page.
