Unito syncs your Confluence data to other apps and tools automatically. All you have to do is create a flow that turns pages from Confluence spaces into tasks, spreadsheet rows, tickets, or other work items.
In order to connect Confluence to Unito, you'll also need to generate an API token.

*Confluence labels can only be mapped with plain text fields for now, such as descriptions or plain text custom fields.
Due to limitations with Confluence's API, this integration does not yet support filtering or mapping pages by label or creator in Unito's rules. This is expected to change after Atlassian rolls out its next update to the Confluence API.
What does mapping my Confluence page look like in Unito?
Here's an example of a Confluence page being synced to Trello. The labels are mapped to a custom field Type of Documentation, so we'll still be able to see it in Trello as plain text.
Here's a side-by-side look at what these mappings look like in Confluence and Trello, once synced:
Limitations and other considerations for Unito's Confluence integration
Since this is a Lite connector, there are a few things you can't do yet with this Confluence integration:
-
Sync attachments: You won’t be able to sync attachments to (and from) Confluence just yet.
-
1-Way Sync: Currently, our Confluence integration can only sync information that comes out of a Space.
-
Partial rich text: Some formatting styles, smart chips, emojis and will sync with Unito though they'll appear as plain text. Confluence-specific content such as timelines or custom macros may not sync properly.
In this example, Confluence smart chips appear as plain text in Trello:
- Labels and statuses: These can only be synced to plain text fields for now, such as descriptions or custom fields.
-
Webhooks: This integration does not yet support webhooks.
-
Rule limitations: For now, you can only filter Confluence pages by creation date in your rules.
- On-premise installations: This Unito currently only supports the cloud version of Confluence. On-premise versions can't be connected to Unito.
