Route Confluence approvals to different reviewers by label

To send Confluence pages to different reviewers by label, open the Automation tab in Space Approval Settings, turn on Page creation or Page update under Route approvals by page label, and add label mappings that pair each label with an approval team. The first matching rule in the list wins.

#Before you start

You need	Why
Space administrator permission	Label routing is a space setting.
At least one approval team enabled in the space	Mappings can only point at enabled teams.

#Steps

In the space, open Space settings, then Capable (Capable Approval if you use the standalone app), to reach Space Approval Settings.
On the Teams tab, enable each team you want to route to.
On the Automation tab, under Route approvals by page label, turn on Page creation, Page update or both.
Select Add label mapping, then pick a label and the team that reviews it. Repeat for each label.
Optionally, choose a Default team for pages with no matching label.
Save your changes.

#Good to know

The first matching rule in the list wins, so check the order when a page could carry more than one label.
Labels are read when the approval is raised. Adding a label later does not move an existing request to another team.
Example: pages labelled security go to the security reviewers, pages labelled hr go to HR.
