Overview
This node operation retrieves the children inline comments of a specific parent comment in Confluence Cloud. It is useful when you want to fetch all replies or nested inline comments under a particular inline comment, enabling detailed comment thread analysis or display.
Common scenarios include:
- Displaying threaded discussions within a Confluence page.
- Extracting all nested inline comments for moderation or review.
- Automating workflows that depend on comment hierarchies.
For example, if you have an inline comment with ID 123 and want to get all its child inline comments, this operation will return those children, optionally sorted or filtered by content format.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Id | The ID of the parent comment for which inline comment children should be returned. (Required) |
| Additional Fields | Optional fields to customize the request: |
| - Body Format | The content format type to be returned in the body field of each comment. |
| - Sort | Field name used to sort the result by a particular field. |
Output
The output JSON contains an array of inline 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.
If the body-format option is set, the body field in each comment will be formatted accordingly.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires access to a Confluence Cloud instance via its REST API.
- Requires an API authentication token configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
- The base URL for API requests is derived from the configured Confluence domain credential.
Troubleshooting
- Permission Errors: If the node returns permission-related errors, ensure the API token has sufficient rights to view the page and comments.
- Invalid ID: Providing an invalid or non-existent parent comment ID will result in no results or an error. Verify the comment ID before use.
- Empty Results: If no children exist for the given comment ID, the response will be empty; this is expected behavior.
- API Limits: The Confluence API may limit the number of returned comments. Use pagination or adjust limits if supported.
