Scan Confluence pages with the REST API for inactive page owners

Description

Scan Confluence pages for inactive page owners

This workflow scans selected Confluence spaces, resolves page ownership and filters pages with inactive owners, helping teams maintain clear ownership and prevent orphaned documentation.

What it does

Scans Confluence pages across selected spaces.

Resolves page owners and checks their account status**.

Filters pages where the owner is inactive** (owner.accountStatus !== active).

Uses Confluence REST API v2 to fetch spaces, pages, and user data.

Resolves page owners efficiently via the users-bulk API.

Produces a consolidated report containing:

Page title

Owner email

Owner account status

Last updated date

Direct page URL

Useful for documentation governance, ownership audits, and cleanup initiatives.
How it works

A Set Variables node defines:

Atlassian domain

Space keys to scan

Get Spaces (v2)** retrieves matching spaces and extracts their IDs.

Get Pages (v2)** fetches all pages from the selected spaces.

Unique page ownerIds are collected and resolved using Bulk User Lookup (v2).

Page metadata is merged with user account data (ownerId ↔ accountId).

Pages are filtered to include only those with inactive owners.
Setup

Configure the Set Variables node:

atlassianDomain → your Confluence base URL

spaceKeys → comma-separated list of space keys (e.g. ENG, HR)

Create an HTTP Basic Auth credential:

Atlassian email + API token

Assign it to all HTTP Request nodes

Optional enhancements:

Add pagination if spaces contain many pages.

Extend the workflow with email notifications, Slack alerts, or CSV export.
Notes

Requires permission to read Confluence spaces, pages, and users.

Pages are flagged when owner.accountStatus !== active.

Current page fetch limit is 50 items per request.
