Confluence

Monitor Atlassian Confluence for newly published pages, comments on docs you own, and unresolved page comments.

Quick Setup

Confluence uses API token + email (Basic Auth pattern Atlassian recommends for personal automation).

  1. Go to id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens
  2. Click Create API token
  3. Give it a label (e.g. "Phyllax"), copy the token
  4. In Phyllax → Integrations → Confluence → enter:
    • Site URL — your Confluence base URL (e.g. https://your-company.atlassian.net)
    • Email — your Atlassian account email
    • API Token — the token you just copied
  5. Click Connect

Troubleshooting

"Authentication failed"

The API token is correct but email/site URL might not be. Double-check the email matches your Atlassian account (not a SAML alias). Site URL should be the base, no trailing path.

Tokens revoked

API tokens are tied to your account — if you leave the org or your account is deprovisioned, they stop working. Generate a fresh one.

Pages from a specific space don't appear

You need read permission on the space. If you can't view it in Confluence's web UI, the API won't return it either.
