Confluence Reader

Obsidian Confluence Reader

Read-only sync of Confluence Server pages into your Obsidian vault as Markdown.

Features

• Pull single page — by URL, page ID, or title
• Pull page tree — recursively pull a page and all its children
• Re-pull — update previously synced pages when Confluence content changes
• Confluence → Markdown conversion with support for:
  • Code blocks (with language)
  • Info/Warning/Note/Tip macros → Obsidian callouts (> [!info])
  • Page links → [[wikilinks]]
  • Images and attachments
  • Expand macros → <details> blocks
  • Table of Contents → [TOC]
  • Status badges, panels, emoticons
• Version tracking — skips pages that haven't changed
• Frontmatter mapping — each synced file has confluence-* YAML fields
• Attachment download (optional)

Setup

1. Install the plugin (BRAT or manual)
2. Go to Settings → Confluence Reader
3. Enter your Confluence Base URL (e.g., https://confluence.example.com)
4. Enter your Personal Access Token (PAT)
5. Click Test Connection

SSL

For self-signed certificates, enable Skip SSL verification in settings (requires Obsidian restart).

Commands

A ribbon icon (cloud download) opens the Pull page modal.

Frontmatter

Each synced file gets YAML frontmatter:

---
confluence-id: "12345678"
confluence-space: "MYSPACE"
confluence-version: 5
confluence-title: "Page Title"
confluence-url: "https://confluence.example.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=12345678"
confluence-last-pull: "2026-03-02T10:00:00.000Z"
confluence-author: "John Doe"
---

File Structure

Pages with children create a folder hierarchy:

sync-folder/
  Root Page/
    Root Page.md
    Child A.md
    Child B/
      Child B.md
      Grandchild.md
