Data Sources

NASA connects to Confluence to support two capabilities: adding Confluence pages as agenda items, and exporting Team Journal entries. The connection is established once at the site level, then configured per stream in Settings.

Settings > General > Team Journal Export To Confluence, showing the Select Confluence Space & Parent Page control after Confluence is connected.

Connect Confluence

Confluence connects automatically using Atlassian's Multi-app compatibility support. There is no separate authorization step inside NASA.

Connecting Confluence enables two capabilities for the stream:

  • Confluence pages as agenda items - participants can add Confluence pages to their updates during meeting preparation.

  • Team Journal export - export meeting journals to Confluence pages, either manually or automatically.

To configure the export destination for a stream:

  1. Open Settings > General for the stream.

  2. Expand Team Journal Export To Confluence.

  3. Click Select Confluence Space & Parent Page and choose the destination.

  4. Toggle Enable Automated Export to export after every meeting, or leave it off to export manually from Team Journal.

Permissions

The Confluence connection uses your Atlassian account permissions. Users can only add pages they have access to in Confluence.

If the Confluence Controls Are Greyed Out

The Select Confluence Space & Parent Page control stays disabled until Confluence is connected at the site level. A site admin can check and connect it:

  1. Go to Atlassian Administration for the site.

  2. Open Connected apps and select the NASA app.

  3. Open the Connections tab.

  4. Confirm Confluence shows Connected. If not, click Connect.

Disconnect

To remove the Confluence connection, a site admin clicks Disconnect next to Confluence on the same Connections tab. Existing Confluence-based filters will stop returning results until the connection is re-established.

NASA connects to the Confluence product on the same Atlassian site as Jira. Connecting a Confluence instance on a different site is not supported.
