Search Confluence for supplied text and return the first result’s title, article link, and excerpt.

[在 Open Flow 中使用](https://console.openflow.run/flows?importUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Foomol-lab%2Fawesome-workflow-templates%2Ff2bf5895d91486412f320151dafd9c6b95b42091%2Fworkflows%2Fconfluence-knowledge-search%2Ftemplates%2Fconfluence-knowledge-search.openflow.json)

Search a Confluence knowledge base and return the first matching result’s title, article link, and excerpt.

## Setup and use

In Open Flow, connect Confluence in **Search Confluence content**. The account needs permission to search and view the relevant content. Replace `wikiBaseUrl` in **Prepare Confluence search** with the same site’s HTTPS wiki URL, ending in `/wiki`, such as `https://your-site.atlassian.net/wiki`. This URL provides the base for article links returned by the search.

Use Run and supply:

```json
{"query":"password reset"}
```

For n8n, replace the tenant in **Query Confluence** while keeping `/wiki/rest/api/search`. Select an HTTP Basic credential using your Atlassian email as the username and an API token as the password. Edit **Search Query**, then run **Run Search**. Another workflow can call **Execute Workflow Trigger** with a `query` string.

## Behavior

The workflow issues one [Confluence CQL search](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/api-group-search/#api-wiki-rest-api-search-get) with `text ~ "your query"` and a page limit of 25. It returns the first hit and does not fetch later pages. Confluence controls search ranking and visibility. [Text search syntax](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/performing-text-searches-using-cql/) still applies inside the search text; quotes and backslashes are escaped for the surrounding CQL string. Blank queries and control characters are rejected before searching.

The result has `found` and `response`. A match returns a text block with `Title`, `Link`, and `Content`. The excerpt is kept as supplied, including any highlight markup. As in the source, the response ends with a consumer hint about sharing the article link for password-reset questions. Its action is document search and link retrieval.

No matches return `found: false` with a short message. A failed search or malformed first result stops the run. The workflow uses a 30-second request limit and has no workflow-level retry or persistent state. Repeating a run performs another search.

## Changes to the source

*   Replace the source tenant with configuration placeholders and use the platform’s Confluence connector in Open Flow.
*   Escape the query’s CQL string and return an explicit empty result instead of indexing a missing first hit.
*   Quote titles and links safely in the response text, and make timeout and redirect handling explicit.
*   Add a manual n8n entry while preserving the callable workflow entry, and document the actual search steps.
