Advanced Confluence configuration

The following covers configuring confluence filters to generate a specific integration URL. The same method can be applied to other integrations supporting URL filters.

  1. Navigate to Confluence.

  2. Open advanced search.

  3. Configure and apply relevant filters.

  4. Enter a sample text test in your search.

  5. Update the generated Confluence URL so that &text= is the last query parameter in the URL. Also remove the value of the search query parameter (in this case, test). If the generated Confluence URL contains only the single query parameter text, then omit the ampersand character (&).

    1. Single query param example (simple search):
      https://www.example.com/search?text=

    2. Multiple query param example (w/ filters):
      https://www.example.com/search?filter1=on&text=

  6. Copy that full URL as your Custom integration URL and save in your HelpDesk+ account portal integration settings.
