Creating pages automatically in Confluence via the Java API is not exactly a no-event, but not too hard either.
When creating and saving a page we run into a NullPointerException within the PageEditedPayloadTransformer.

There is already an unresolved issue, CONF-37161, which reads:
While trying to render notifications for page edits,
CONF-37161PageEditedPayloadTransformercan getNullPointerExceptions while callinggetOriginalId. This is because thePageEditedEventis not required to contain the original page id - it can benull. The code needs to not implicitly cast aLongto along, since that's causing the null pointer exception in this case.
In case that you do not need to send notifications, you may use a SaveContext that simply suppresses these.
Indicates that notifications should not be sent out informing users of the changes to this content.
SaveContext.isSuppressNotifications()
The pre-constructed context SUPPRESS_NOTIFICATIONS is handy for this use case.
final SaveContext saveContext = DefaultSaveContext.SUPPRESS_NOTIFICATIONS; pageManager.saveContentEntity(page, saveContext);
Saving the page entity with this context will no longer raise the NPE.
