Confluence Cloud

Overview

This node operation deletes a footer comment in Confluence Cloud permanently. It is useful when you want to remove a specific footer comment from a page or blog post, ensuring that the comment cannot be recovered later. This operation requires appropriate permissions to view the content and delete comments within the space.

Practical example:

• Automatically cleaning up outdated or irrelevant footer comments on Confluence pages as part of a content management workflow.
• Removing inappropriate or erroneous comments programmatically without manual intervention.

Properties

Output

The output will typically contain the response from the Confluence API after attempting to delete the specified footer comment. Since this is a deletion operation, the output JSON usually confirms success or failure of the deletion request. No binary data is involved.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Confluence Cloud REST API.
• The node must be configured with the domain URL of the Confluence instance.
• Proper permissions are needed: permission to view the content and permission to delete comments in the relevant space.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Providing an invalid or non-existent Comment Id will result in an error indicating the comment could not be found.
  • Insufficient permissions will cause authorization errors; ensure the API key has rights to delete comments in the target space.
  • Network or connectivity issues may prevent the API call from succeeding.

• Error messages and resolutions:

  • 404 Not Found: The specified comment ID does not exist or is already deleted. Verify the Comment Id.
  • 403 Forbidden: The API key lacks permission to delete comments. Check user permissions and API credentials.
  • 400 Bad Request: Invalid input parameters. Confirm the Comment Id is a valid number.
