If you’re new to Unstructured, read this note first.Before you can create a source connector, you must first sign in to your Unstructured account:After you sign in, the Unstructured user interface (UI) appears, which you use to create your source connector.After you create the source connector, add it along with a destination connector to a workflow. Then run the worklow as a job. To learn how, try out the hands-on UI quickstart or watch the 4-minute video tutorial.You can also create source connectors with the Unstructured API. Learn how.If you need help, email Unstructured Support at support@unstructured.io.You are now ready to start creating a source connector! Keep reading to learn how.
Ingest your files into Unstructured from Confluence. The requirements are as follows. The following video provides related setup information for Confluence Cloud:

Document permissions metadata

The source connector outputs any permissions information that it can find in the source location about the processed source documents and associates that information with each corresponding element that is generated. This permissions information is output into the permissions_data field, which is within the data_source field under the element’s metadata field. This information lists the users or groups, if any, that have permissions to read, update, or delete the element’s associated source document. The following example shows what the output looks like. Ellipses indicate content that has been omitted from this example for brevity.

To look up information about a particular Confluence user, use the user’s ID (also known as their account ID) from the preceding output to call the GET /wiki/rest/api/user operation in the Confluence REST API. To look up information about a particular Confluence group, use the group’s ID from the preceding output to call the GET /wiki/rest/api/group/by-id operation in the Confluence REST API. To create the source connector:
  1. On the sidebar, click Connectors.
  2. Click Sources.
  3. Cick New or Create Connector.
  4. Give the connector some unique Name.
  5. In the Provider area, click Confluence.
  6. Click Continue.
  7. Follow the on-screen instructions to fill in the fields as described later on this page.
  8. Click Save and Test.
Fill in the following fields:
  • Name (required): A unique name for this connector.
  • URL (required): The target Confluence site’s URL.
  • For username and password authentication: for Authentication Method, select Username and Password. Then enter the username into the Username field and the password into the Password field.
  • For API token authentication: for Authentication Method, select Username and API Token. Then enter the username into the Username field and the API token into the API Token field.
  • For personal access token (PAT) authentication: for Authentication Method, select Personal Access Token. Then enter the PAT into the Personal Access Token field.
