Integrating Bamboo with Confluence
Integrating Bamboo with Atlassian's Confluence combines Bamboo's continuous integration capabilities with your wiki to give you a unified view of your software development project.
When Bamboo is integrated with Confluence, you can add the following Bamboo gadgets to a Confluence wiki page:
Configuring Bamboo and Confluence to work together simply requires you to set up an application link (two-way) between Confluence and Bamboo.

Before you begin
From Confluence 9.0, Bamboo integration with Confluence using any gadgets including Charts, Plan Summary Charts, and Plan Status will no longer be available.
See the Confluence 9.0 upgrade notes for more details.
Version Requirements
Application | Version Requirement |
|---|---|
Bamboo | Version 5.2 or later |
Confluence | Version 3.5.9 to 8.9 |
Set up an application link
Before you begin:
- Security Considerations — The instructions below recommend setting up authentication for the application link between Confluence and Bamboo. Please ensure that you read the Security implications for each authentication type (Applinks documentation). For example, if you use basic HTTP authentication for the Confluence to Bamboo link, you must specify a user that Confluence uses to log in to Bamboo. Hence, this user's Bamboo permissions will be used (not the Bamboo permissions of the user who is currently logged into Confluence).
Follow the Linking to Another Application instructions to configure the application link in Confluence.
- You will need to set up a two-way link, i.e. select the Create a link back to this server option when adding the application link.
- You will need to configure either OAuth or Trusted Apps authentication for your application link. See Linking to Another Application for instructions.
Congratulations! You have successfully integrated Bamboo and Confluence.
