Overview
This node operation retrieves the children footer comments of a specific parent comment in Confluence Cloud. It is useful when you want to fetch all replies or nested footer comments under a particular comment, enabling detailed comment thread analysis or display.
Common scenarios:
- Displaying threaded discussions or replies under a main comment on a Confluence page.
- Aggregating all child comments for moderation or review.
- Building custom views or reports of comment hierarchies.
Practical example:
If you have a comment ID representing a main discussion point on a Confluence page, this operation will return all footer comments that are direct children (replies) of that comment, allowing you to show the full conversation thread.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Id | The ID of the parent comment for which footer comment children should be returned. |
| Additional Fields | Optional parameters to customize the request: |
| - Body Format | The content format type to be returned in the body field of the response. |
| - Sort | Used to sort the result by a particular field. |
Output
The output JSON contains an array of footer comment objects representing the children of the specified parent comment. Each comment object includes details such as the comment body, author, creation date, and other metadata as provided by the Confluence API.
No binary data is output by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires access to a Confluence Cloud instance with appropriate permissions.
- An API key credential for authenticating requests to the Confluence Cloud REST API must be configured in n8n.
- The node uses the Confluence Cloud REST API endpoint
/wiki/api/v2/footer-comments/{id}/childrenwith HTTP GET method.
Troubleshooting
- Permission errors: Ensure the API key has permission to view the content of the page and its corresponding space where the comment resides.
- Invalid ID: If the provided comment ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will return an error. Verify the comment ID before use.
- Empty results: If no children comments exist for the given parent comment ID, the result will be empty.
- Sorting issues: If sorting by a field that does not exist or is unsupported, the API may ignore the parameter or return an error.
