I’m trying to extract information from within our confluence setup, using field agents to locate specific piece of information from a specified page (via URL). I got it to work once, but now it just says it cannot access the page, as if it has no authentication (which is probably true). Is there a way to provide it with authentication to go do what it needs to do? Curious how I got it to work the first time too

Ai field agent extracting information from a confluence page

Hey
Following Rob’s suggestion above, you might want to use automation tools such as Zapier, Make or n8n (I would personally go with n8n). At least in Make’s case, they already have some pre-set modules for Confluence for you to work with. You can check their documentation here.

+8Hey Graham, if I were you, I would just stick to getting the information from Confluence using their API and then using a field agent on the actual data itself as opposed to trying to extract the data from the Confluence. My guess is that Atlassian is using some sort of service like Cloudflare to ensure that agents, web scrapers, etc. aren't overloading their endpoints. Here's a link to the Atlassian API, and if it were me, I would just have Claude Code write a script in an automation step to get the information whenever you need.
+6Yes I did wonder if I needed to just copy/paste the information into a field and then act on it locally. It’s weird that it did work for a moment!

+8You might even be able to set up a webhook on your confluence, that could trigger an Airtable automation to create or update records. Especially with Airtable’s now ability to have embedded advanced automation actions, this could work!
