Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Confluence integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Confluence calls, fills the parameters, and checks the result.
    • Structured, agent friendly tool schemas so each call runs reliably instead of by guesswork.
    • Rich coverage for reading, writing, and querying your Confluence data, across all 63 of its actions.
  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke Confluence access.
    • Per user and per environment credentials instead of shared keys.
  3. Agent optimized design

    • Actions are tuned from real success and error rates so reliability climbs over time.
    • Full execution logs so you always know what ran in Confluence, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when Confluence is unclear instead of plowing ahead.
  4. Enterprise grade security

    • Fine grained access so you control which agents and people can reach Confluence.
    • Least privilege by default, read scopes first and only the writes a workflow needs.
    • A full audit trail of every Confluence action to support review and sign off.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven operates using the permissions of the user who authorized the OAuth connection. If the connecting user does not have permission to edit a page or view a private space, the agent will receive a 403 forbidden error from the Atlassian API. We do not bypass any of your internal security settings or restriction models. This means you can safely run workflows across your site knowing that the agent cannot access restricted HR pages or private executive spaces unless the authorizing account explicitly has those rights. You can manage these permissions directly within the Confluence space settings as you normally would for any human user.
Yes, Ceven uses the Confluence Storage Format, which is an XML based representation of page content. This allows the agent to create structured data including tables, task lists, and certain native macros. When the agent drafts a page, it constructs the XML payload to ensure that headers are correctly nested and tables are properly formatted for readability. If you provide a specific template in your prompt, the agent will attempt to mirror that structure in the final output. However, some highly customized third party plugins may not support API based content injection and might require manual adjustment after the page is created.
Yes, the agent can create and manage private spaces if the authorizing user has the necessary site administration privileges. When creating a private space, the agent ensures the visibility is set so only the creator and designated users can see the content. This is particularly useful for creating temporary war rooms or sensitive project areas that should not be visible to the entire organization. The agent can also move pages into these private spaces or adjust the restrictions on existing pages to toggle them between public and private states based on the triggers you define in your workflow.
Atlassian implements rate limiting to ensure platform stability, and Ceven is built to handle these limits gracefully. If we receive a 429 too many requests response, the agent automatically pauses and implements an exponential backoff strategy. It reads the retry after header provided by Confluence and waits for the specified duration before attempting the call again. For very large bulk operations, such as migrating hundreds of pages, the agent will process the requests in smaller batches to avoid triggering these limits. You will see a status update in your workflow log if a request is being delayed due to rate limiting.
The agent can retrieve a list of all attachments on a page and pull their metadata, which is useful for auditing which documents are outdated. While it can read the list of files, the current integration focuses on content management rather than binary file uploads. You can use the agent to notify a team member when an attachment is missing from a required template or to list all current attachments in a summary report. For workflows requiring file uploads, we recommend using a cloud storage link within the page content, which the agent can easily insert into the page body.
Every time the agent updates a page, Confluence automatically creates a new version in the page history. Ceven can retrieve these version details to track changes over time or compare the current state of a document with a previous iteration. If a workflow accidentally overwrites critical information, you can use the native Confluence version history to roll back to a prior state. The agent can also be instructed to check the latest version number before performing an update to avoid collision issues when multiple users or agents are editing the same document simultaneously.
The agent is bound by the pagination limits of the Atlassian API. When retrieving lists of pages or blog posts, Confluence returns results in pages, usually around 25 to 50 items at a time. Ceven handles this by automatically walking the cursor through the pagination loop until all requested data is collected or a user defined limit is reached. For extremely large spaces with thousands of pages, we recommend using search queries or label filters to narrow the scope of the request. This ensures the agent remains performant and does not time out while waiting for a massive data dump.
Yes, you can build a workflow that uses the agent to audit your space. The agent can pull all pages, check for missing labels, identify pages without parent pages, and flag content that has not been updated in over six months. Once the audit is complete, the agent can suggest a new hierarchy or even move pages to their correct parent pages using the update page API. By combining the search and manage capabilities, you can create a maintenance agent that runs weekly to ensure your documentation stays organized and that deprecated pages are archived or deleted.
