Reading and writing pages

How Andy reads Confluence pages, creates new ones, edits existing ones, and handles attachments.

When Andy works on a task in a Space that has one or more Confluence spaces linked, it can pull page content into the conversation and write back to Confluence when you ask. This usually happens as part of a regular Slack conversation or web app task, not as a separate Confluence-only flow.

Reading a page

Bring a page into a conversation by referencing it the way you normally would. Paste a Confluence URL into your message:

@MeetAndy summarize https://acme.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ENG/pages/123/Deploy+Runbook
@MeetAndy use the deploy runbook to plan rollback steps for this PR

Andy fetches the page from Confluence and uses what it finds (title, body, headings, tables, code blocks, attached images) as context.

You can also reference pages by title if you've linked the Confluence space to your MeetAndy Space:

@MeetAndy what does the deploy runbook say about database migrations?

Creating a page

Ask Andy to write a new page and say where it goes:

@MeetAndy create a Confluence page in the ENG space summarizing what changed in PR-123

By default, Andy creates pages as drafts. They don't appear in the Confluence space until you publish them. Drafts give you a chance to review and edit before anyone else sees the page.

If you want Andy to publish immediately:

@MeetAndy create and publish a Confluence page in the ENG space summarizing PR-123

Andy returns the page URL (and, for drafts, the draft link) so you can open it directly.

Updating a page

Andy can edit an existing page: append a section, replace content, change the title, or update labels. Reference the page by URL or title:

@MeetAndy add the rollback section we just discussed to the deploy runbook

Updates publish by default. To save the edit as an unpublished draft instead, say so:

@MeetAndy update the deploy runbook with the new rollback section, save as a draft

Attachments and inline images

Andy can attach files and embed inline images as part of a page it creates or updates:

  • Attachments appear in the page's Attachments section, downloadable like any other Confluence attachment.
  • Inline images are embedded in the page body where they make sense in the flow. For example, when Andy generates a chart or screenshot as part of a summary, it inlines the image rather than just attaching it.

You don't need to do anything special. Andy decides between attaching and embedding based on the request.

Pages and Live Docs

Andy supports both regular Confluence pages and Live Docs (Confluence's newer real-time collaborative format).
