By connecting Slite with your Confluence workspace, you can instantly ask about all your Confluence pages directly in the Slite Agent.
This guide will walk you through the key aspects of the Slite and Confluence connection.
Connecting Confluence & the Slite Agent
This is the first step to get started. This section covers how to set up the connection between Slite and Confluence.
Required permissions for setup
To connect Slite and Confluence, you must have the necessary permissions in both platforms.
- In Slite: Permission to add or remove agent sources depends on your team's settings. By default, only workspace admins or owners can set up a connection. However, a Slite admin can enable a setting to allow all members to add and remove agent sources.
- In Confluence: The user connecting the workspace must be an admin .
Initial Confluence connection
To begin, you need to connect your Confluence workspace with Slite.
In Slite, click Agent Sources at the bottom of the left sidebar.
Find the Confluence option and click Connect Confluence .
Follow the on-screen instructions to sign in to your Atlassian account.
You will be prompted to give the Slite - Confluence integration access to your Atlassian account. Choose a site, then click Accept .
On the Slite - Confluence integration page that opens, click Get app in the top-right corner.
Select the same site as before, and click Install .
Once the installation is successful, you can close the window or click the Cancel button.
The initial data sync will begin.
It may take a few moments before you can see your Confluence spaces reflected in the Slite Agent, as well as Confluence in the Agent Sources filter when asking a question.
Once the initial sync is complete, you can use Confluence everywhere in the Slite Agent as an agent source.
Syncing Confluence spaces in Slite Agent
Once you've connected your Confluence workspace to Slite Agent, you can start syncing your Confluence spaces.
In the Sources tab, select the spaces you want to sync, then click Sync sources .
Go to the Settings tab.
Click Disconnect.
Follow the on-screen instructions to uninstall the integration in Confluence directly.
In Confluence, click Uninstall in the top-right.
How the Slite Agent indexes your Confluence spaces
What we sync
Slite Agent will index pages from your Confluence workspace from the past year and will keep pages older than 12 months.
For instance, if you've started indexing pages two years ago, Slite Agent will still keep pages older than 1 year.
Refresh rate
New and updated Confluence pages will appear in the Slite Agent automatically every 6 hours. However, you can always sync manually if you need the latest data immediately.
Metadata
To make your search results more useful, the Slite Agent automatically indexes metadata from your Confluence pages, including:
- Space title
- Page title & contents
- Page status
- Page version
- Creation date
- Last modified date
- Author information
Access control & privacy
Slite Agent maintains the same permissions as your Confluence workspace.
Each Slite member will need to authenticate individually with their Atlassian account to access the data.
