Overview

This document is giving you an overview of the DataLbry's Confluence Cloud Connector for version 0.1.0-alpha.1643643333.

What is Confluence Cloud?#

Confluece Cloud is software which enables teams to centrally create, collaborate and organize their work.

Create, collaborate, and organize all your work in one place. Confluence is a team workspace where knowledge and collaboration meet. Dynamic pages give your team a place to create, capture, and collaborate on any project or idea. Spaces help your team structure, organize, and share work, so every team member has visibility into institutional knowledge and access to the information they need to do their best work. Learn more about features in Confluence. Confluence is for teams of any size and type, from those with mission-critical, high-stakes projects that need rigor behind their practices, to those that are looking for a space to build team culture and engage with one another in a more open and authentic way. Equipped with Confluence, your team can make quick decisions, gain alignment, and accomplish more together. -- Source: Confluence

Obtaining Credentials#

The following credentials are required to use the Confluence Cloud Connector:

  • Confluence Cloud URL
  • Confluence Cloud username
  • Confluence Cloud personal access token (secret)

Typically, the URL of a Confluence Cloud instance looks like this: https://<your-organization>.atlassian.net.

The username is simply your email address which you use to log into your Confluence Cloud instance.

Lastly you will need a personal access token. To obtain such a token you can simply follow Atlassians offical documentation on how to do so

We have captured the next steps in form of images for you too.

Targeted Documents#

The following documents are provided by the connector with detailed information:

  • Spaces
  • Content Documents:
    • Pages
    • Attachments
    • Comments

Additionally, the following records are stored:

  • Content Ancestor
  • Content Body
  • Content View
  • History
  • Icon
  • Label
  • User
  • Version

Additional Options#

Space Filter#

Allow and Deny Filters for spaces are available. If an Allow Filter is configured, only specified spaces will be processed. If a Deny Filter is configured, specified spaces will not be processed.

To use these filters you have to provide the space name. In the following picture you see some spaces in our Confluence Cloud instance. The space names - surrounded by the red box - in this example are TestSpace-1 and General.

If you provide this space name in the Allow Filter then this project board will be in the final document set. If it is set in the Deny Filter on the other hand it will be filtered out and therefore not be present in the final document set. If the space name is in both filters it will always be filtered out. This goes for all documents derived by the space too.
