How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • ActionSearch macros referencing that pageZendeskZendesk
  • LogicExit if no macros reference it
  • OutputAlert support ops in SlackSlack

What it does

When a documentation owner archives or deprecates a Confluence page, this immediately reverse-looks-up which Zendesk macros still reference that exact page and alerts support ops in real time. It closes the gap between docs changing and macros pointing at dead content.

When to use it

Use it when your docs team and support team move at different speeds. The day a page is retired is exactly when its links go stale everywhere else — this catches that the same day instead of weeks later in a periodic audit.

How it works

  1. 1A Confluence webhook fires on a page archive or deprecation event.
  2. 2Capture the affected page ID and URL from the event payload.
  3. 3Search the Zendesk macro library for any macro body containing that page URL or ID.
  4. 4Branch: if no macros reference it, exit quietly; otherwise continue.
  5. 5Post a Slack alert to the support ops channel naming the retired page and every macro that must be updated, with direct edit links.
