# Confluence Connector

> Learn about our Confluence connector.

As mentioned in the Data-Synchronisation article, the setup of data system in Genow is being done in two steps. For the Confluence connector this means:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select and connect your system">
    You will need the following things to set up and connect Confluence:

    * Authentication type: choose between Token Authentication or Basic Authentication
    * Server URL: the URL of your Confluence instance (e.g., [https://company.atlassian.net/wiki](https://company.atlassian.net/wiki))
    * API Token
    * User: the e-mail of the user associated with the API token. This is only required when you use Basic Authentication.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select your scope">
    For this step a **CQL statement** is needed. They mostly consits of three parts:

    1. Field: The item you want to search for (e.g., space, title, type).
    2. Operator: How to compare (e.g., =, \~ for "contains").\\
    3. Value: The term you're looking for (e.g., "Meeting Notes").

    Example: space = ABC AND type = page

    The CQL statement is optional. If you leave it empty, all supported content is synchronized.\
    You can extract your CQL statement after setting the filters from your url.
  </Step>
</Steps>

We support attachments and images.

<Warning>
  If you are using a customized Confluence system that  differs from the standard, we recommend planning in a testing period before the rollout.
</Warning>

Before the setup please identify relevant custom fields. Custom extensions of Confluence can sometimes cause problems. Please contact us if this is the case.
