Set up the sync
1
Open Data Sources
Go to AI Training → Data Sources.
2
Add a Confluence source
Click Add source → Confluence.
3
Start the sync
Click Connect. The first run does a full pull of every page the credentials can read. Large instances take longer — expect 10 minutes to an hour for thousands of pages.
4
Verify in AI Instructions
Open AI Training → AI Instructions. Pages appear under Confluence, each linked to its source URL in your instance.
What gets synced
All pages the credentials can read

Whole-instance pull. Page titles, body content (converted from Confluence storage format to HTML), and the

Visibility by space type
- Personal spaces (key starts with
~) → internal — the AI uses them only in agent-facing surfaces. - All other spaces → public — the AI can cite them in customer replies.
Full refresh, not incremental
Full refresh, not incremental
Each sync run is a full re-pull with overwrite. The benefit: deletions in Confluence propagate correctly. The cost: each run is heavier than an incremental pull. Typical cadence is set by Airbyte’s scheduler — adjust on the connection schedule if you need it less often for a huge instance.
