Overview
This node operation retrieves the children footer comments of a specific parent comment in Confluence Cloud. It is useful when you want to fetch all direct replies (child comments) to a particular footer comment, enabling threaded discussions or comment hierarchies to be explored programmatically.
Common scenarios:
- Displaying nested comment threads under a main comment on a Confluence page or blog post.
- Analyzing or exporting comment conversations for audit or reporting purposes.
- Building integrations that respond to or process comment replies automatically.
Example:
If you have a footer comment with ID 12345 and want to get all its child comments, this operation will return those child comments, optionally sorted or formatted as specified.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Id | The ID of the parent comment for which footer comment children should be returned. |
| Additional Fields | Optional parameters to customize the request: |
| - Body Format | The content format type to be returned in the body field of each comment (e.g., storage, view). |
| - Sort | Field by which to sort the returned child comments. |
Output
The output JSON contains an array of footer comment objects representing the children of the specified parent comment. Each comment object includes details such as the comment body, author, creation date, and other metadata as provided by the Confluence API.
No binary data is output by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires access to a Confluence Cloud instance via its REST API.
- Requires an API authentication credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
- The base URL for API requests is derived from the user's Confluence domain credential.
Troubleshooting
- Permission errors: Ensure the API user has permission to view the content and comments in the relevant space.
- Invalid ID: If the parent comment ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will return an error or empty results.
- Rate limits: Confluence Cloud API may enforce rate limits; handle retries or backoff accordingly.
- Empty results: If no child comments exist for the given parent ID, the result will be an empty list.
