This page explains how SharePoint Connector for Confluence connects Confluence and SharePoint, and how the AI features process data. It helps admins understand the architecture before installing or configuring the app.
Built on Atlassian Forge
The app runs on Atlassian Forge, so Atlassian hosts it, and the architecture is fixed. You don't run or maintain any server components yourself.
Confluence and SharePoint
All communication between Confluence and SharePoint Online happens in the end user's browser. There is no direct server-to-server connection between the two systems. Every request to the Microsoft Graph API runs in the context of the signed-in user, so each person reaches only the content they are already allowed to open in SharePoint.
AI features
The AI features use the Azure OpenAI Service in Microsoft Azure, configured with the GPT-4o-mini model. An Azure function serves as a proxy between the Confluence macro and the Azure OpenAI Service. It is protected by JWT authentication and stores no data between requests.
No data is stored in the app backend or in the Azure OpenAI Service. Chat history is not supported, and prompts are cleared when the dialog closes.
