Confluence
Confluence is an open and shared workspace platform provided by Atlassian. Use the Confluence component to manage spaces, pages, and content properties.
Connections¶
Basic Authentication {#basic}¶
Basic Authentication connection for Confluence
Basic Authentication can be used to connect to both Confluence Cloud and self-hosted Confluence instances.
- For Confluence Cloud: Use the account email and an API token
- For Self-hosted Confluence: Use the account email and password
:::info[API Token vs Password] For Confluence Cloud, API tokens are required. Passwords are only accepted for self-hosted instances. :::
Prerequisites¶
- A Confluence account (Cloud or self-hosted)
- For Cloud: Access to Atlassian account management
- The Confluence site URL
Setup Steps¶
To generate an API token for Confluence Cloud:
- Log in to Atlassian API Token Management
- Select Create API token
- Enter a descriptive Label for the token and select Create
- Select Copy to clipboard to copy the generated token
For additional information on generating an API token, refer to the Atlassian documentation.
Configure the Connection¶
Add a Confluence action to the integration to automatically create a connection configuration variable.
Configure the Basic Auth connection:
- Email: Enter the email address associated with the Confluence account (e.g.,
example.user@confluence.com) - API Token: Enter the API token generated from the Atlassian account management page, or for self-hosted instances, enter the account password
- Host: Enter the Confluence site URL (e.g.,
your-domain.atlassian.netfor Cloud or the server hostname for self-hosted instances)
:::warning[Self-Hosted Credentials] For self-hosted Confluence instances, API tokens may not be available. Use the account password instead. :::
| Input | Comments | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Your Confluence account email address used for authentication. | ||
| API Token | Your Confluence API token for authentication. Generate this from your Atlassian account settings. | |
| Host | Your Confluence site URL. Only enter your domain without the protocol. |
OAuth 2.0 {#oauth2}¶
OAuth 2.0 connection for Confluence
To connect to Confluence using OAuth 2.0, create an OAuth 2.0 integration in the Atlassian Developer Console and configure the appropriate scopes.
For more information on developing Confluence applications, refer to the Confluence Security Overview.
Prerequisites¶
- An Atlassian account with access to the Developer Console
- Admin access to the Confluence site to be connected
Setup Steps¶
- Navigate to the Atlassian Developer Console and select Create to create a new OAuth 2.0 (3LO) integration
- Provide a name for the integration
- Under the Settings tab, locate the Client ID and Client Secret values - copy these for later use
- Navigate to the Authorization section and select Configure under OAuth 2.0 (3LO)
- Add
https://oauth2.arenasolutions.com/callbackas the Callback URL - Navigate to the Permissions section and configure the required scopes:
- Select the Confluence API tab
- Choose either Classic scopes or Granular scopes based on requirements
- Add the necessary scopes for the actions to be used (see scope recommendations below)
- Save the integration configuration
Configure the Connection¶
Add a Confluence action to the integration to automatically create a connection configuration variable.
Configure the OAuth 2.0 connection:
- Enter the Client ID and Client Secret obtained from the Atlassian Developer Console
- For Scopes, enter the space-separated list of scopes. The default scopes (Granular) provide access to most Confluence actions:
offline_access delete:attachment:confluence read:attachment:confluence write:attachment:confluence read:custom-content:confluence write:custom-content:confluence delete:custom-content:confluence read:page:confluence write:page:confluence delete:page:confluence read:space:confluence - Refer to the Confluence Scopes Documentation for additional scope information
- (Optional) If connecting to a specific Confluence site when multiple sites are available, enter the site name or full URL in API Site Override (e.g.,
exampleorhttps://example.atlassian.net)
:::note[Scope Consistency] Ensure the scopes configured in the connection match the scopes granted in the Atlassian Developer Console. Mismatched scopes will result in authentication failures. :::
Save the integration to connect and authenticate to Confluence.
This connection uses OAuth 2.0, a common authentication mechanism for integrations. Read about how OAuth 2.0 works here.
