  1. Create the application link in Confluence administration as mentioned in the Confluence support page on application links. Once the linking is successful, you can see the status as Connected in green.
  2. Add either an Html-bobswift or XSLT macro on your Confluence page, or edit an existing Html-bobswift or XSLT macro to see the macro editor.
  3. Enter a raw, absolute URL of the HTML/XML file in the macro's Location of HTML data or Location of XML data parameter. As an example, the following screenshot shows how you can enter an absolute URL that points to a linked GitHub instance:

titlePoints to remember
  • Administrators can link Confluence with other Atlassian applications such as Bitbucket or Jira.
  • If a URL that contains the base URL of a linked application is given in the Location parameter in the macro editor, it acts like a direct link to the required HTML/XML file. For example, if the URL used to link Bitbucket with Confluence is https://bitbucket.domain.com, and the URL in a Location parameter is https://bitbucket.domain.com/repository/file, the macro recognizes this link and directly renders file on the Confluence page without asking for user credentials.
  • Application links take precedence over profiles and other URLs when URLs are processed in macros. If an application has been linked with Confluence and a URL related to that application is given in any of the macros, these are processed first.
  • After the links are created, user credentials are authenticated only once when an application linked URL is processed through a macro.
  • Once user credentials have been verified through a macro, URLs given from a verified application link then works like an absolute path to the file location.
  • Application links, if created, allow users to directly access the required file(s) through any of the macros. On the other hand, profiles are a means to access files in other external locations without exposing any sensitive information such as user credentials and so on.
