Automate Confluence

Know what is happening in your Confluence spaces without watching every page. Edits and new pages or blog posts can be posted to a channel, the week's changes collected into one email, and pages nobody has touched in months listed for an owner to review. Describe the routine to your AI assistant, read through the steps it plans, and it keeps watching your wiki for you.

Try asking

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every 15 minutes, check my Confluence space DOCS and post any updated page to #docs in Slack with its title, the editor and a link.

Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

Ideas

What you can automate in Confluence

Edit and publish alerts, a Friday roundup of changed pages, a plain-language summary of the week's docs and a list of pages going stale. These are ready-made starting points. Anything else you can describe works too.
Every 15 minutes

Post Confluence page edits to Slack

When a page in your space is changed, your channel sees its title, who edited it and a link.

Every 15 minutes

Announce new Confluence pages and blog posts

Newly published pages and blog posts across your site are shared in a channel so people actually find them.

See how it works
On a schedule

Get a Friday list of changed Confluence pages

One email at the end of the week lists every page created or updated, grouped by space.

Monthly

Find Confluence pages nobody has updated

Each month you get the pages in a space untouched for six months, with their author and a link, ready for review.

WeeklyAI

Get a weekly summary of what changed in your docs

On Fridays you read a few lines per page explaining what was added or changed, instead of opening each one.

Any other automation you can describe in words

Your own rules, schedule and AI steps with Confluence, plus any other app. Describe it and your assistant builds it.

Build your own

Build any Confluence automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what Confluence should do in your own words, with your conditions, other apps or an AI step, and your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

  • Your own rules

    Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.

  • Any number of apps

    One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.

  • AI where it helps

    Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.

  • On a schedule or on each event

    Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

For example, ask your assistant

Every Monday, find Confluence pages in our Docs space not updated in 6 months and send each page owner a list of theirs to review.

When a page is created or updated in our Confluence Engineering space, post the title, author and link in #engineering on Slack.

Every Friday, read Confluence pages updated this week, write an AI digest of the changes and email it through Gmail, plus post it in #team on Slack.

Beyond chat

Have Confluence work when you're not in the chat

Connecting Confluence to ChatGPT or Claude lets you ask about it while you chat. ClickRuntime handles the part that should happen on its own: checks on a schedule and actions on each new event, set up from the same chat and running after you close it.

Setup

Connect Confluence

Confluence uses an Atlassian API token that you create on your own Atlassian account, together with your account email. If you already connected Jira, the same token works here.

Confluence

Docs / Wiki

  1. Go to id.atlassian.com, open Security and choose Create and manage API tokens.
  2. Create a token, give it a name and pick an expiry date, then copy it.
  3. Note your site address, such as yourteam.atlassian.net, and the email you sign in with.
  4. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, save your email and token as a secret on Connections & secrets.

Good to know

Confluence limits that affect automations

  • Atlassian API tokens expire after the period you choose, between 1 and 365 days. When one expires the automations stop until you save a new token.
  • One token covers both Jira and Confluence, so rotating it affects automations in both apps.
  • Requests run as your account, so the automations only see spaces and pages you can see in Confluence.
  • Changes are found by searching on a schedule, every 15 minutes for alerts, so updates are not instant.

FAQ

Questions about automating Confluence

What can ClickRuntime read in Confluence?
The spaces, pages and blog posts your Atlassian account has access to: titles, authors, last-updated dates, links and page content. The ready automations only read; none of them edit pages.
Can I use the token I made for Jira?
Yes. An Atlassian API token belongs to your account and works for both products on the same site.
How does it decide a page is stale?
It searches a space for pages whose last change is older than the age you set, 180 days by default, and lists each with its author and link.
Is AI needed for Confluence automations?
Alerts, digests and stale-page reports run without it. The weekly summary of what changed reads page content and condenses it with the AI included in all ClickRuntime plans, so you don't supply an AI key.
Is this a Confluence connector for ChatGPT or Claude?
Not for chatting with Confluence data. A chat connector lets your assistant read and change Confluence while you're in the conversation. ClickRuntime is for the work that should happen without you: you set up an automation from the chat once, and it keeps running on a schedule or on each Confluence event.
