Confluence

When you connect Confluence to Steady, Steady will match up relevant changes to your team members based on their email address or name. Then, their Confluence activity appears on the Activity page and alongside their check-ins automatically.

Once a few activities have been logged, you can use the auto-complete functionality in check-ins and comments to auto-link to Confluence entries. Simply type # and a string of text that is part of your Confluence entry, and you'll be able to select and auto-insert a fully formatted link to it.

Set up

  1. With a Confluence admin user, go to: https://id.atlassian.com/manage/api-tokens.
  2. Select "Create API token".
  3. Name it "Steady".
  4. Set the expiration date. We recommend using the longest possible option that Confluence provides, which is 1 year.
    1. Confluence will send you an email the day before it expires to alert you.
  5. Select "Create".
  6. Copy your API token. You will not be able to access the token again, so make sure you copy it before closing the window.
  7. In Steady, go to Account Management -> Integrations.
  8. Expand the Confluence section.
  9. Paste the copied API token into the API token field.
  10. Enter your Confluence domain into the Domain field.
  11. Enter the email address of the user that created the API token in the Email address field.
  12. Select "Save".

After you enter a valid API token, we will create the webhooks via the API.

You can see the webhooks we create here: https://[your-domain].atlassian.net/wiki/rest/webhooks/1.0/webhook (Update the subdomain to match yours)

Usage

Steady will record the following events:

  • Page created
  • Page updated
  • Blog created
  • Blog updated
  • Comment created
  • Comment updated

Troubleshooting

  • Look for updates on the Activity page first. The dashboard will sum up updates from the previous period. (The check-ins essentially say "here's what I did yesterday, and here is all of the Confluence activity to go along with that.")
  • Check to make sure the first and last names in Confluence match what is being used in Steady.
  • Steady won't be able to record data retroactively. Make sure you generate some activity in Confluence to test things out after you've set up the connection.
