Add Confluence

Integrate Confluence as a data source.

This guide outlines the integration of Confluence as a data source for RAGFlow.

Prerequisites

Before configuring the connector, obtain the following credentials from your Atlassian account:

  • Confluence user Email: The email address of the account performing the indexing.
  • Atlassian API Token: Generated via Atlassian Account Settings.
  • Confluence base URL: The instance URL (e.g., https://<your-org>.atlassian.net/wiki).

Configuration steps

Define Confluence as an external data source

Navigate to the Connectors or External Data Source section in the RAGFlow Admin Panel and select Confluence. Enter the following in the popup window:

  • Is Cloud - A toggle indicating whether this is a Confluence Cloud instance.
    • Yes (default): Confluence Cloud.
    • False: Confluence Server/Data Center.
  • Name: Required A unique identifier for your Confluence connector (e.g., Engineering-Wiki).
  • Confluence Username: Required
    • For Confluence Cloud: The full email address you use to log into Confluence.
    • For Confluence Server/Data Center: Your login ID, often a shorthand name.
  • Confluence Access Token: Required The authentication key that allows RAGFlow to act on your behalf to read and index your wiki pages.
    • For Confluence Cloud: An Atlassian API Token, a secure string generated from your global Atlassian account. Create one from id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens.
    • For Confluence Server/Data Center: Your Personal Access Token (PAT). You are required to log in to your company’s Confluence, click on your Profile Picture in the top right, select Settings, then, in the left-hand sidebar, look for Personal Access Tokens.
  • Wiki Base URL： The base URL of your confluence instance, e.g., https://your-domain.atlassian.net/wiki.
  • Index Mode
    • Everything: (Default) Indexes all pages the provided credentials have access to.
    • Space： RAGFlow restricts indexing only to the Space Keys you explicitly list in the configuration.
      • Space Keys: Specify keys (e.g., ENG, HR) separated by commas to restrict indexing. Leave blank to index all accessible spaces.

Once configuration is complete, click Confirm to save your changes.

RAGFlow validates the connection immediately.

Credentials alone do not trigger indexing. You must link the data source to a specific dataset:

  1. Navigate to the Dataset tab.
  2. Select or create the target Dataset.
  3. Navigate to the Dataset's Configuration page and select Link data source.
  4. Choose the previously created Confluence connector in the popup window.
