Appfire Confluence CLI: Can I paste the clipboard into a page?

[Johan Bezem]

I am looking at a whole git repository full of markdown documents that need to be exported into respective Confluence pages. I understand that pasting markdown clipboard content (by hand) into a page (cloud installation, hosted with Atlassian) shall work.

I also have (CMD.EXE, PowerShell) commands to put the content of a file into the clipboard.

Can I create a Confluence CLI instruction (with Appfire CLI or OOTB) that runs in a CMD or PS shell to paste the clipboard into a newly created page in Confluence? That way I could  automate the creation of a Confluence space with the same content as my markdown document tree.

HI @Johan Bezem

We also have a support ticket  SUPPORT-96478  to better track your request. However please find the response here as well.

Using Confluence Comand Line Interface, you can convert a markdown file into a confluence page using the storePage action. But you need to download all the required files into a directory on your local computer.
Please use the action shown below to import a single markdown file into a confluence page using CLI.

--action storePage --space test --title markdown --file Downloads/gitFiles/text.md --markdown

For all the files in your directory:

1. Create a CSV file with column headers: space, parent, title, and, file. If the file(s) are available at different locations, provide the full path of the file(s) under the file column.
2. Enter the following values in Page.csv:
3. Execute the following CLI command:

--action runFromCsv --file page.csv --common "--action storePage --markdown" --continue

Please note that if the files are available in the ACLI installation directory then the file name can be mentioned directly, otherwise add the full path of the file location.
Hope this helps!

Thanks,
Naveen
