Confluence Cloud

Overview

The "Update Space" operation in the Confluence Cloud node allows users to update properties of an existing Confluence space, such as its name, description, or homepage. This operation is useful for administrators who want to programmatically modify space details without using the Confluence user interface. For example, you might use this node to rename a project space after a rebranding or update the description to reflect new guidelines.

Properties

Output

The output of this operation is the JSON response from the Confluence API representing the updated space object. It typically includes fields like the space's key, name, description, and other metadata reflecting the current state after the update.

This node does not output binary data.

Dependencies

• Requires an API authentication token credential configured in n8n to access the Confluence Cloud REST API.
• The base URL for API requests is derived from the user's Confluence domain credential.
• The user must have 'Admin' permission on the target space to perform updates via the API.

Troubleshooting

• Permission Errors: If the update fails with a permissions error, ensure that the API token used has 'Admin' rights on the specified space.
• Invalid Space Key: Providing an incorrect or non-existent space key will result in a "not found" error. Verify the space key before running the node.
• Malformed JSON in Request Body: The request body must be valid JSON. Invalid JSON syntax will cause the API call to fail. Use proper JSON formatting.
• API Rate Limits: Frequent updates may hit Confluence API rate limits; handle errors accordingly and consider retry mechanisms.
