Overview
This node operation retrieves the children inline comments of a specific parent comment in Confluence Cloud. Inline comments are comments attached to specific parts of page or blog post content, often used for detailed discussions or feedback on particular text segments.
Typical use cases include:
- Fetching all replies (child inline comments) to a given inline comment to display threaded discussions.
- Analyzing comment threads programmatically for moderation or reporting.
- Integrating Confluence inline comment data into other tools or workflows.
For example, if you have an inline comment on a Confluence page and want to get all its direct replies, this operation will return those child comments.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Id | The ID of the parent inline comment for which child inline comments should be returned. |
| Additional Fields | Optional parameters to customize the response: |
| - Body Format | The content format type to be returned in the body field of each comment (e.g., storage, view). |
| - Sort | Field by which to sort the returned child comments. |
Output
The output is a JSON array of inline comment objects representing the children of the specified parent inline comment. Each comment object includes details such as:
- Comment ID
- Author information
- Creation and update timestamps
- Body content in the requested format
- Status and resolution state (if applicable)
- Any additional metadata provided by the Confluence API
No binary data is output by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires access to a Confluence Cloud instance with appropriate permissions.
- Requires an API authentication token credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests.
- The base URL for API requests is derived from the user's Confluence domain credential.
Troubleshooting
- Permission Errors: If the node returns permission-related errors, ensure the API token has sufficient rights to view the content and comments in the target Confluence space.
- Invalid ID: Providing an invalid or non-existent parent comment ID will result in errors or empty results. Verify the ID before use.
- Empty Results: If no child comments exist for the given parent ID, the output will be empty.
- API Limits: The Confluence API may limit the number of results returned; use sorting and filtering options to manage large datasets.
