Confluence (Knowledge Base)

This section explains how to connect Confluence Cloud as a Knowledge Base data source in DataDios. It is a read-only connector: you browse the space/page hierarchy, and the platform ingests page content into RAG so it is searchable through Hybrid Search. Confluence is the original Knowledge Base connector; Google Drive and SharePoint follow the same shape.

Prerequisites​

Confluence Cloud is authenticated with your Atlassian account email plus an API token:

  1. Go to Atlassian API tokens.
  2. Click Create API token, give it a label, and copy the token.
  3. Note your Confluence base URL — it includes the /wiki suffix, e.g. https://your-domain.atlassian.net/wiki.

Steps to Create and Test a Confluence Data Source​

Step 1: Create a Data Source​

  1. Navigate to the Data Sources tab in DataDios
  2. Click + CREATE SOURCE
  3. In the data source type dropdown, expand Knowledge Base and select Confluence

Step 2: Fill Connection Details​

  • base_url: Your Confluence Cloud URL including /wiki, e.g. https://your-domain.atlassian.net/wiki (required)
  • email: The Atlassian account email the API token belongs to (required)
  • api_token: Your Atlassian API token (required, stored encrypted)
  • schedule_sync: (Optional) 15 Minutes, Hourly, or Daily for metadata synchronization

   "base_url": "https://your-domain.atlassian.net/wiki",
   "email": "you@example.com",
   "api_token": "your-atlassian-api-token",
   "schedule_sync": ""
}

Step 3: Test Connection​

  1. Click TEST CONNECTION
  2. Valid credentials return Status: OK. The API token is never echoed back in any response or log.

Step 4: Save Data Source​

  1. Click CREATE to save the data source
  2. It appears on the Data Sources listing page under Knowledge Base
  1. Expand the data source to browse spaces and their pages.
