Workflow for translator for Cloud

Overview

The Workflow Translator for Cloud is a tool in the data center app workflow builder to support your cloud migration.

The tool provides a simple way to support the recreation of a custom workflow from the hosted app into a cloud-compatible workflow for use in your Confluence Cloud site.

Workflow Translator for Cloud

Any elements or parameters in the workflow that cannot be translated are listed in the Untranslated Macros dialog box.

Using workflow translator

Workflow translator for the cloud lets you translate the workflow template markup to a cloud-compatible JSON code workflow template. You can then add this workflow template code to a space in your cloud site by pasting a copy of the JSON template code into the code editor.

Unsupported workflow elements

Some workflow elements are not translated in the cloud-compatible workflow template or included in the workflow cloud-compatible code.

These include some types of workflow parameters, such as the header and footer parameters in the workflow macro, and the workflow state macro parameters that determine app UI behavior on the page, such as the hidefrompath and hideselection parameters.

Some workflow elements are translated by the tool but have different functionality in the cloud. After adding the translated workflow in the cloud, you need to apply it and review the workflow functionality on the page. Differences in the app functionality in the cloud include:

• Assignment of reviewers for approvals

• Different workflow events, conditions, and actions for workflow triggers.

Workflow triggers with supported events in the cloud are translated, and some trigger actions are also translated.
