Setting up Confluence as a Source
The Confluence integration allows you to connect Confluence Spaces as a Source in Guru, enabling Guru to generate Answers using the pages within that space. Each Source is tied to a single Confluence Space, and once connected, Guru will begin syncing content automatically every two hours.
Access Required
Guru Access: You must be a Workspace Admin in Guru to connect Confluence as a Source.
Confluence Access: The authenticating user must have read access to the Confluence Space being connected. When authorizing, Guru will request permissions to:
- View page content
- View space properties
- View space details

Objects Synced from Confluence
Guru syncs Pages from a specified Space in Confluence. Each Source connection is tied to a single Space, and Guru pulls the full page content to generate Answers.
| Pages | Body | Page ID | Web UI URL | Space Info |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Page Content | HTML body | Unique Confluence ID | Direct link to page | Name and ID of connected space |
| Meta Data | Used for Answer Source traceability | Uses _links.webui | Accessed via OAuth-scoped permissions |
