Creating pages using hyperlink/URL in other applications

HI all - I really don’t know if I’m in the right place or not. please forgive a newbie if not.

I am a user not a developer. one of my uses on confluence is to create pages that are configured in an Access database, by clicking. These are configured as URLs and operate effectively as hyperlinks (either directly or via Application.Followhyperlink in vba). These URLs are based on the URL that is created when you click on ‘create page from template’ link.

Up until Confluence 9, these worked fine. however the URLs now contain an atl-token which changes per session, which means I can’t hard code these into the database. I know there’s a way to bypass the need for these tokens in the API, but this is not API!

is there any way to bypass the need for a token in the create page URL?

Here’s an example of the URL that used to work fine:

https:///pages/createpage-entervariables-linking.action?templateName=&live=false&type=template&templateId=&linkCreation=false&spaceKey=&fromPageId=27333055&name=

This now fails due to lack of token

Thanks for any help

Matt
