Access to the Confluence Cloud REST API - Auto-generated from OpenAPI

Overview

The "Update Footer Comment" operation in the Confluence Cloud node allows users to update an existing footer comment on a Confluence page or blog post. This operation is useful when you want to modify the content of a comment, such as correcting text, adding additional information, or updating formatting.

Typical use cases include:

  • Editing feedback or notes left on a Confluence page.
  • Updating discussion points in team collaboration spaces.
  • Correcting typos or errors in previously posted comments.

For example, if a user notices a mistake in a footer comment on a project documentation page, they can use this operation to update the comment without deleting and recreating it.

Properties

Name Meaning
Comment Id The unique numeric identifier of the footer comment to be updated.
Request Body A JSON object containing the data to update the footer comment with (e.g., updated body).

Output

The output of this operation is the JSON response from the Confluence API representing the updated footer comment. It typically includes fields such as the comment's ID, updated content, author information, timestamps, and any metadata associated with the comment.

No binary data is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the Confluence Cloud REST API.
  • Requires an API authentication token configured in n8n credentials for Confluence Cloud.
  • The base URL for API requests is derived from the user's Confluence domain credential.
  • Proper permissions are required: the user must have permission to view the content and create comments in the relevant space.

Troubleshooting

  • Permission Errors: If the operation fails due to insufficient permissions, ensure that the API token has rights to view the page/blog post and edit comments.
  • Invalid Comment Id: Providing a non-existent or incorrect comment ID will result in an error. Verify the comment ID before attempting the update.
  • Malformed JSON in Request Body: The request body must be valid JSON. Invalid JSON syntax will cause the request to fail.
  • Network or Authentication Issues: Check that the Confluence domain and API credentials are correctly configured in n8n.
