Setting up
We connect to Confluence as a specific user. That means that actions taken by incident.io in Confluence will show up as by the connecting user. We therefore recommend you create a Confluence user called something like “incident.io”, and sign in to Confluence with that account before you begin (you can remain signed in to incident.io as your usual account!)- Head to Settings → Integrations → Confluence
- Click Connect: you’ll be redirected in to Confluence to approve our access
We also support Confluence on Atlassian GovCloud. The setup process is the same as for standard Confluence Cloud
instances.
Getting started
1. Add Confluence as your document destination for post-mortems
Within the Post-Mortem setting tab, add Confluence as your document destination by clicking Add destination.
- You can then configure the default destination for your post-mortems - we’ll then create post-mortems as children of the page you select. This will be the default destination for your post-mortems.
Creating custom post-mortem destinations for different teams or services
You can create different post-mortem destinations for different teams or services by adding further destinations.
