To connect Confluence, create an API token for an Atlassian account, save it in MITHUNAI with your site address, and choose which spaces to read. It takes about five minutes.
Whatever the account can see, your assistant can quote to anyone who can ask it. Use an account that can view only the spaces you want read. See Saved connections.
Confluence is in beta. It has been tested against scripted responses written from Atlassian’s documentation, not yet against a real Confluence site, so tell your MITHUNAI contact if a sync does not read what you expect.

​
What you need

  • A Confluence Cloud site, at an address like https://your-company.atlassian.net. Confluence Data Center and sites on your own domain are not supported.
  • An Atlassian account that can view the spaces you want read. A dedicated account for MITHUNAI is best, so its access is exactly what you choose.
  • The owner or admin role in your MITHUNAI organisation.

​
1. Create the API token in Atlassian

Signed in to Atlassian as the account MITHUNAI will read as:
  1. Go to id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens.
  2. Select Create API token. If you see a choice, choose the plain API token, not the one with scopes: MITHUNAI does not support scoped tokens yet.
  3. Name it so you will recognise it later, such as MITHUNAI.
  4. Choose an expiration date. Atlassian allows up to one year. Note the date: you will replace the token before then.
  5. Select Create, then Copy to clipboard.
Atlassian shows the token only once. If you lose it, create another.

​
2. Save it in MITHUNAI

  1. In the console, open Sources and choose Connect source.
  2. Choose Confluence.
  3. You have no Atlassian connection yet, so the form to add one is open. Fill in:
    • Connection name: your own name for it, such as Docs team Confluence.
    • Site address: your site, such as https://your-company.atlassian.net. You can paste any page’s address; only the site is kept. It cannot be changed later.
    • Account email: the email of the Atlassian account the token belongs to.
    • Token: the API token you copied.
  4. Choose Save connection. The token is now stored encrypted and is never shown again.
You can also save it first under Settings → Connections, then choose it here.

​
3. Choose what to read

  • Name: what the source is called in your list.
  • Spaces: the short code of each space, separated by commas. It is in the space’s address: …/wiki/spaces/ENG/… is ENG. Leave it empty to read every space the account can see.
  • Maximum pages (under Change filters): from 1 to 5,000, 500 by default.
Choose Connect source. The first sync starts straight away.

​
What is read

Every current page in the chosen spaces, with its title and text, including code blocks. Each page becomes one document, and answers cite it with a link to the page. Not read: drafts, archived or deleted pages, blog posts, comments, attachments and images. Restrictions on a page inside Confluence are not carried over: if the account can see a page, the assistant can quote it. A page that has not changed since the last sync is not read again.
