Confluence Connector

This page describes the Confluence connector in v1 organizations. Confluence is available in v2 organizations too, on every plan: you set it up from Connectors — see Confluence. There, one connector keeps a workspace in sync with a whole space: each label becomes a kind of asset, edits arrive within 15 minutes, and a newly labelled page appears within a day; Sync now brings it at once. When your organization moves to v2, its Confluence connectors come with it.

Atlassian Confluence is a document management system that can store software documentation (e.g. component technical specifications) that might be of interest to a software index.

Prerequisites

• Atlassian Confluence Cloud domain (in the format https://[your-domain].atlassian.net).
• A Confluence API key to access documents from Aplas (see Atlassian docs).
• A specific Confluence Space to scan for documents.
• Confluence documents must have a specific label applied (e.g. technical-specification).
• Confluence documents must contain tables in a key/value format (see below) that can be mapped to Aplas asset fields.

2. Specify a name and select the index you wish to target.
3. Click Setup to proceed to the configuration page.
4. Specify the appropriate connection settings.
5. Specify the field mappings. It's useful to start by clicking Auto-populate mappings, then customise the auto-generated mappings.
