Introducing the new Confluence integration with Google Chat

Confluence by Atlassian is designed for teams to store and share ideas, docs, and knowledge. Workspace customers can now use Confluence for Google Chat to bring relevant project context and information from Confluence directly into Chat conversations. This integration, which is part of the Atlassian add-on, enables teams to work more effectively by connecting real-time collaboration with source-of-truth documentation.

Key features include:

Rich link previews: View page titles, summaries, and author name when sharing Confluence links in Chat
Personal notifications: Be notified in real-time for @mentions, comment replies, or changes to Confluence pages you own
Shared pages updates: Receive automated notifications when changes are made to shared Confluence pages

This enhanced app enables Workspace customers to use Google Chat for team collaboration while keeping Atlassian as their system of record for knowledge management.

Google has officially rolled out a new Confluence integration for Google Chat, designed to bring project context and documentation directly into chat conversations. Delivered as part of the broader Atlassian Google Workspace Add-on, this native integration allows teams to collaborate in real-time without constantly switching tabs. [1, 2, 3]

Key Features

Rich Link Previews: When a Confluence link is shared in a chat conversation, Google Chat automatically displays the page title, a summary, and the author’s name. [1, 4]
Personal Notifications: Users can receive real-time alerts in Google Chat for direct mentions, replies to their comments, and updates made to pages they own. [1, 4]
Contextual Team Channels: You can set up specific rules to funnel space updates, blog posts, or specific author changes directly into selected Google Chat spaces. [4, 5]

Availability & Getting Started

The feature is fully available to all Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual subscribers, and personal Google account users who possess a Confluence Cloud account. [4]

For Admins: Organizations can deploy this sitewide by installing the app directly via the Google Workspace Marketplace.
For Individual Users: If permitted by your admin, you can add it yourself by navigating to Apps > Find apps inside Google Chat and searching for “Confluence”. [4, 6]
