Trigger#

Watch Pages on Confluence

Description:Emit new event when a page is created or updated in Confluence

Version:0.0.1

Key:confluence-watch-pages

View on GitHub

Confluence Overview#

The Confluence API allows you to harness the collaborative power of Confluence programmatically. With it, you can automate content creation, update pages, manage spaces, and extract data for reporting or integration with other tools. Leveraging this API within Pipedream enables streamlined workflows that can react to events or schedule tasks, interacting with Confluence data and connecting to an array of other apps and services.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "confluence-watch-pages",
  name: "Watch Pages",
  description: "Emit new event when a page is created or updated in Confluence",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getResourceFn() {
      return this.confluence.listPages;
    },
    async getArgs() {
      return {
        cloudId: await this.confluence.getCloudId(),
        params: {
          sort: "-modified-date",
        },
      };
    },
    getTs(post) {
      return Date.parse(post.version.createdAt);
    },
    getSummary(post) {
      return `New or updated page with ID ${post.id}`;
    },
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Confluence	`confluence`	`app`	This component uses the Confluence app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.

Trigger Authentication#

Confluence uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Confluence account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Confluence and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Confluence API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

Ahrefs Overview#

Ahrefs API taps into the vast data reserves of Ahrefs, a robust SEO tool, to programmatically access insights into backlink profiles, keyword rankings, and SEO health. With Pipedream's capabilities, you can automate SEO monitoring, integrate with content management systems, trigger alerts for new or lost backlinks, or gather intelligence for keyword research—all without manual intervention. This unlocks the potential for real-time SEO strategy adjustments and the integration of SEO data into broader business processes or analytics platforms.
