Integration with Atlassian: Jira and Confluence

Has anyone successfully connected Appian and Confluence?

Our goal is to manage activities in Appian, such as approvals or sign-offs, and have the corresponding content in Confluence updated automatically. If you've implemented something like this, I'd appreciate any guidance or recommendations.

Yes, we can do this. Explore the Confluence REST API and build a plain HTTP Integration in Appian to it, then call that Integration from your approval process to update the page automatically on sign-off.
Let me know if you want to understand anything different or specific.

Hi ​@sarahv035887 ,

I recently automated some processes in Appian with Jira; most likely you will need to configure Confluence separately. Jira and Confluence are separate Atlassian products with separate APIs/endpoints and permissions.

  • Use a connected system (likely HTTP) to store the Confluence base URL and authentication.
  • One or more integrations to call Confluence’s REST APIs (for example, to update page content or metadata).

Integration with JIRA/Confluence is pretty straightforward like others have mentioned.

I think the other thing you need to be careful is the way you will authenticate. I would recommend using a Service Account. If you want the content to be posted by the person who approved for example, then you would need to use Authorization Code Grant but I find this usually more complicated to implement.
