This tutorial explains how you can embed links from various sources like Google Calendars, Trello boards and so on using the HTML macro. Content available on public domain can be easily accessed and displayed on your Confluence pages. However, to display HTML content located in restricted locations, ensure that you have the required permissions.
In such cases, you can also make use of profiles. An administrator specifies parameters like user name, password, and the base URL of the location to be accessed to create a profile. Users can then select this profile and provide the relative URL to the content to be rendered in the macro. Read the Configuration page for more information about profiles.
In this article, the following sources are explored:
Google Calendars
