Macros social banner.png

We’re thrilled to unveil Macros for Confluence - a powerful, standalone app now available on the Atlassian Marketplace. Once a part of Capable’s integrated toolkit, these macros are now accessible on their own, giving teams the freedom to enhance Confluence in the ways that best suit their needs.

This toolkit is about turning static content into engaging, interactive, and actionable pages. Whether you’re onboarding new employees, sharing campaign media, embedding live data, or documenting technical systems, this set of macros is built to empower - not just embellish - your Confluence experience.

Each macro is built for versatility. While we’ve spotlighted typical use cases for teams like Engineering, HR, and Marketing, any team can benefit from these tools to create more intuitive, functional pages. With Capable’s curated collection, you’ll bring interactivity, structure, and refinement to your work in ways never before possible.
