KB Tool - Confluence Knowledge Repository
Connects with Confluence to manage knowledge base resources.
How it works
The "KB Tool - Confluence Knowledge Repository" workflow is designed to facilitate the management of knowledge base resources within Confluence. The workflow begins with a trigger node that initiates the process based on a specific event, such as a new entry or update in the knowledge base.
1. Trigger Node:
The workflow starts with a trigger, which listens for changes or new entries in the knowledge base.
2. Data Retrieval:
Once triggered, the workflow retrieves relevant data from the Confluence API. This is typically done using an HTTP Request node configured to access the Confluence REST API.
3. Data Processing:
After fetching the data, the workflow may include nodes for data transformation or filtering. This could involve using a Function node to manipulate the data format or extract specific fields needed for further processing.
4. Conditional Logic:
The workflow may utilize an If node to determine the next steps based on the retrieved data. For example, it can check if the entry already exists or if it meets certain criteria for further action.
5. Data Update or Creation:
Depending on the outcome of the conditional logic, the workflow will either update an existing Confluence page or create a new one using another HTTP Request node configured for POST or PUT requests.
6. Final Notification:
Finally, the workflow may include a notification node to inform users of the successful update or creation of a knowledge base entry, ensuring that stakeholders are kept in the loop.
This structured flow ensures that knowledge base resources are efficiently managed and updated in real-time.
