Let's explore our most popular features
Listeners
A listener waits (or listens) for an event and then automatically executes an action in response. By default, a listener runs in all spaces, but you can specify which space it applies to and which user the listener runs as.
Jobs
Jobs are used to perform automated tasks on regular intervals. By automating your maintenance tasks, you can keep your instance tidy while freeing up time for other work.
Fragments
Use Script Fragments to customise the User Interface. For example, you can add buttons to the page or display an announcement banner.
Script Console
Using the script console, you can copy and paste or write a custom script to run in Confluence. The script console is useful for testing scripts or performing operations that you only want to do once.
Built-in scripts
We have developed numerous built-in scripts that you can use to automate and customise your Confluence space. With these no-code scripts, the hard work is already done, you just have to fill in any parameters and run the code with the click of a button!
Macros
Macros are widgets that improve both the management and appearance of your pages. Choose from ready-to-use built-in macros, or create your own custom, static macro that offer complete flexibility to your pages and can be used by your users as well.
