Read Confluence pages

Quick start​

Connect Atlassian Cloud in NEXT, then use a Confluence page read action in an automation with the full Confluence page URL.

If you need help building the automation itself, see Set up automation.

Why read Confluence pages?​

Confluence is often where teams maintain messaging frameworks, sales playbooks, product notes, and internal operating docs. Reading Confluence pages into NEXT lets automations inspect that shared context before generating updates, summaries, or review comments.

What the integration does​

This integration is an automation action, not an import.

  • It reads a Confluence Cloud page through the connected Atlassian Cloud account.
  • It converts the page body into Markdown for use by later automation steps.
  • It includes page metadata such as page ID, title, base URL, and page URL in the action output.

What it does not do​

  • It does not import Confluence pages into NEXT as Highlights or Recordings.
  • It does not read Jira issues.
  • It does not update Confluence pages.
  • It does not create inline comments yet.

How connection works​

  1. In NEXT, open Settings -> Integrations -> Atlassian Cloud.
  2. Click Connect.
  3. Complete the Atlassian OAuth flow for the Atlassian account that can view the Confluence page.
  4. Use the full Confluence page URL in the automation action.

The same Atlassian Cloud connection can be used for Jira automation features and Confluence page read actions.

Configuration notes​

  • Use a full Confluence Cloud page URL, for example https://example.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SPACE/pages/123456789/Page+Title.
  • The connected Atlassian account must have permission to view the page and its space.
  • Existing Atlassian Cloud connections may need to be reconnected after Confluence read permissions are added.
  • Confluence Cloud is supported. Confluence Server and Confluence Data Center are not supported.

FAQ​

Does this action use a separate Confluence connection?​

No. It uses the existing Atlassian Cloud connection.

Can NEXT create Confluence comments?​

Not yet. The first supported action reads Confluence pages as Markdown. Comment write-back is planned as a separate automation action.
