Connect Confluence (optional)
Link your Confluence site to MeetAndy so Andy can read and write Confluence pages in your Spaces.
Connecting Confluence is optional. If your team writes specs, runbooks, or design notes in Confluence, this lets Andy read pages you reference and write content back (drafts, updates, attachments, inline images). If your team doesn't use Confluence, skip ahead to Create a Space.
This is an admin-only step.
Connect your Confluence site
MeetAndy supports two ways to authenticate with Confluence:
- Via Atlassian Marketplace app (recommended) — installs the MeetAndy Assistant app in your Confluence site.
- Via service account (API token) — no Atlassian Marketplace install needed. You can connect Confluence independently of Jira.
Via Atlassian Marketplace app
- Open Manage → Integrations from the sidebar.
- Find the Confluence card and click Connect.
- On the Confluence integration page, click Install on Confluence. A new tab opens to the Atlassian Marketplace.
- Approve the MeetAndy Assistant install on your Atlassian site. Atlassian walks you through.
- Return to the MeetAndy tab and click Check Connection Status. Once Atlassian finishes setting up the app, the integration switches to Connected.
The install can take a few seconds to register on Atlassian's side. If Check Connection Status still says "Not yet connected," wait a minute and try again.
Via service account (API token)
If Jira is already connected with a service account, click Reuse my service account on the Confluence integration page. MeetAndy pre-fills the credentials and you only need to confirm.
Otherwise:
- Open Manage → Integrations from the sidebar.
- Find the Confluence card and click Connect.
- Under Authentication method, choose Service account (API token).
- Enter the API token, service account email, and token expiry date.
- Click Save.
MeetAndy emails company admins before the token expires so you have time to rotate it.
Link a Confluence space to your MeetAndy Space
Connecting the integration enables Confluence for the whole company. To tell Andy which Confluence space corresponds to a given MeetAndy Space, link them in Space settings:
- Open the MeetAndy Space and click Settings.
- In the Confluence section, click Add Confluence space and pick from the dropdown.
- Save.
You can link more than one Confluence space to a single MeetAndy Space. The same Confluence space can also be linked to multiple MeetAndy Spaces, which is useful when several teams share documentation.
What Andy uses Confluence for
Once linked, Andy can:
- Read pages when you reference them by URL or title in Slack or the web app.
- Create new pages, published or saved as a draft for you to review.
- Update existing pages, including content, title, or labels.
- Upload attachments and inline images as part of a page.
See Reading and writing pages for details on what Andy can do once Confluence is linked to a Space.
Disconnecting
The steps differ depending on which authentication method you chose.
Atlassian Marketplace app
- Open Manage → Integrations → Confluence in MeetAndy.
- Click Disconnect.
- MeetAndy will tell you to also uninstall the app from inside Confluence. Go to Confluence → Apps → Manage your apps, find MeetAndy Assistant, and uninstall it.
Service account (API token)
- Open Manage → Integrations → Confluence in MeetAndy.
- Click Disconnect.
Disconnecting Confluence does not remove the Jira integration. They share an install (for the Marketplace path) but track state independently.
