Confluence OAuth Integration Setup Guide
This guide walks you through setting up an Atlassian OAuth 2.0 (3LO) integration for SurfSense to connect your Confluence spaces.
Step 1: Access the Developer Console
- Navigate to developer.atlassian.com
- Click your profile icon in the top-right corner
- Select "Developer console" from the dropdown

Step 2: Create a New OAuth 2.0 Integration
- In the Developer Console, under My apps, click the "Create" button
- Select "OAuth 2.0 integration" from the dropdown

Step 3: Name Your Integration
- Enter Name:
SurfSense - Check the box to agree to Atlassian's developer terms
- Click "Create"
ℹ️ New OAuth 2.0 integrations use rotating refresh tokens, which improve security by limiting token validity and enabling automatic detection of token reuse.

Step 4: Configure Callback URL
- In the left sidebar, click "Authorization"
- Under Callback URLs, enter the redirect URI:
http://localhost:8000/api/v1/auth/confluence/connector/callback - Click "Save changes"

Step 5: Configure API Permissions
- In the left sidebar, click "Permissions"
- You'll see a list of available APIs including Confluence API

Step 6: Configure Confluence API Scopes
- Click "Configure" next to Confluence API
