Connect Confluence to Realm to make wiki pages, blogs, and embedded files searchable. Navigate to Settings > Data sources and click Connect on Confluence, or click Reconnect if already connected. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the Realm app on your Confluence site.

​
Connecting Confluence (Cloud)

Install the Realm app from Atlassian Marketplace on the Confluence site you want to connect. Then, navigate to Atlassian Admin > Apps > Sites > Your Site Name. Then click Connected Apps, find the Realm app, click the three dots, and click Configure. The configuration page shows a token and an Atlassian user ID. Copy the token into the Client Key field in Realm and the user ID into the User ID field. If you are not also a Realm admin, send the configuration page to a Realm admin so they can enter both values. The person connecting should have access to the Confluence spaces you want to sync.
Depending on your organization’s Atlassian settings, an admin may need to approve the app installation before it can be used.

​
What gets synced

​
Selecting spaces

After connecting, choose which Confluence spaces to sync. You can add or remove spaces at any time from the data source page.

​
Permissions

Realm enforces Confluence’s native permission model. Users can only see content they have access to in Confluence. You can override this by switching to “Everyone in this organization” on the data source settings page, which makes all synced Confluence data visible to all Realm users.

​
Smart features

Realm integrates with Confluence’s content lifecycle:

​
Confluence Data Center

For Confluence Data Center (self-hosted), connect using a Personal Access Token instead of the Marketplace app.
  1. Follow Atlassian’s instructions to create a PAT. Disable “Automatic expiry” to prevent sync interruptions.
  2. Enter the token and your Confluence instance URL on the data source page in Realm.
  3. Select the spaces you want to sync.

​
Configuring properties

You can configure which Confluence properties are synced from the data source page. This lets you control which metadata fields are included alongside page content.
