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.
In engineering, clarity is critical. The Macros for Confluence app brings technical documentation to life, making it collaborative and user-friendly.
Swagger/OpenAPI Macro
Embed live API documentation directly into Confluence. This macro eliminates the need for outdated exports or switching between tools like SwaggerHub and Jira. Developers, testers, and product leads can test endpoints, review schemas, and explore parameters - all within Confluence.
Diff Macro
Compare code snippets or config files visually. Highlight what’s been added, changed, or removed. Ideal for version control, code reviews, or retrospectives.
Compare Images Macro
Perfect for UI teams and system architects, this macro lets you display image versions side by side. Track visual changes across designs, dashboards, or diagrams.
For people teams, process is everything. These macros help HR professionals create seamless workflows right inside Confluence.
Buttons Macro
Transform static link lists into guided navigation. Whether it’s for onboarding, policies, or benefits, make it easy for users to find what they need with a single click.
Colour Palette Macro
Maintain internal branding by embedding company-approved colours into documents. Reinforce consistency across internal guides and training materials.
Progress Bar Macro
Visually track onboarding steps or compliance workflows. A simple progress indicator brings clarity to multi-step processes.
Confluence excels at documentation but today’s knowledge sharing demands more than text. These macros help IT and support teams create pages that are dynamic and practical.
HTML Macro
Need full control? This macro allows you to insert custom HTML, whether it’s JavaScript forms, iframes, or live system widgets. Think embedded help desks or real-time issue reporting.
Marketing is visual, fast-moving, and collaborative. These macros help teams present, organize, and share campaign elements effortlessly.
Gallery Macro
Create sleek, scrollable galleries for ad creatives, screenshots, moodboards, and more. Perfect for launches, event wrap-ups, or visual asset sharing.
QR Code Macro
Instantly generate scannable links. Use this for product demos, event posters, or sales collateral to connect physical and digital experiences.
Word Cloud Macro
Paste content from feedback, decks, or blog drafts and quickly visualize the most common themes or keywords. Great for refining messaging.
Operations teams need visibility and control. These macros provide real-time insight and utility to streamline processes.
RSS Feed Macro

HR teams can showcase employee events using the Gallery macro.
Marketers might guide stakeholders using Buttons macros.
Engineers may prefer embedding live code sandboxes via the HTML macro.
Operations teams can document vendor integrations with Swagger specs.
