Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring GitLab, Confluence, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.

Test the Scenario

Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the GitLab and Confluence integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between GitLab and Confluence (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.

Most powerful ways to connect GitLab and Confluence

GitLab + Confluence + Slack: A new commit in GitLab triggers the creation of a summary page in Confluence. A notification with a link to the Confluence page is then sent to a specified Slack channel.

Confluence + GitLab + Jira: When a new page is created in Confluence, it triggers the creation of a related task in Jira. The Jira task includes a link to the relevant GitLab repository.
