Step 1: Set Up Your FlutterFlow Project
- Create or open a FlutterFlow project: Log in to your FlutterFlow account and either create a new project or open an existing project in which you aim to integrate Confluence.
- Ensure your project is ready: Double-check that your project components, such as pages, widgets, and models, are correctly configured and ready for integration.
Step 2: Prepare Confluence for Integration
- Access your Confluence instance: Log in to your Confluence account. Make sure you have the necessary permissions to create and configure macro or API integrations.
- Setup API Tokens (if needed): Some integrations may require the use of API tokens. Navigate to your Confluence profile settings and generate an API token if required.
Step 3: Understand FlutterFlow’s External API Integration
- Examine FlutterFlow’s API capabilities: FlutterFlow provides a feature called “API Calls” for integrating external APIs. Understand the structure and requirements of making an API call within FlutterFlow by reading the relevant FlutterFlow documentation.
- Prepare Confluence API Documentation: Fetch the REST API documentation for Confluence to understand the endpoints and their functionalities you may need for the integration.
Step 4: Configure an API Call in FlutterFlow
- Navigate to API Calls section: In your FlutterFlow project, go to the `API Calls` tab located in the left menu.
- Add new API Call: Click on `+ Add API Call` to create a new API integration.
- Name the API call: Choose a descriptive name for the API call that indicates its purpose, such as `Confluence_GetPage`.
- API URL Endpoint: Enter the Confluence API endpoint URL that you will be interacting with. For example, to fetch a page, it might look like `https://your-instance.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content/{pageId}`.
- HTTP Method: Select the HTTP method based on your operation, such as `GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, or `DELETE`.
Step 5: Configure API Headers & Parameters
- Authorization Header:
- If you're using Basic Auth: Add an `Authorization` header with the value `Basic base64(user:token)`.
- If you're using Bearer Token: Add an `Authorization` header with `Bearer your-api-token`.
- Content-Type Header: Ensure you set the `Content-Type` as `application/json` if you are dealing with JSON data.
- Query/Path Parameters: Add any required parameters for the API call. For a `GET` request to fetch a page, you might need to specify the `pageId`.
Step 6: Test the API Call in FlutterFlow
- Test the API Call: Before using the API call in the application, use FlutterFlow’s test feature to ensure the API request is successful.
- Set parameters/test data: Provide any required parameters or test data and click on `Test API`.
- Verify the response: Check the response to make sure the API call is returning the expected data from Confluence.
Step 7: Use the API Call in Your Widgets
- Bind the API Call to a Widget: Go to the FlutterFlow page or widget where you want to utilize the data from the API call.
- Select the widget: Click on the widget (e.g., ListView, Text) where you want to display the data.
- Bind data source: Navigate to the Data Source property of the widget and select your configured API call.
Step 8: Retrieve and Display Data
- Set up UI to handle data: Configure the widget to handle and display the data returned by the API call.
- Parsing the response: If the API call returns JSON data, map the JSON keys to your widget properties.
- Testing UI rendering: Preview your FlutterFlow application to ensure that the data from Confluence is properly fetched and displayed in the UI.
Step 9: Handle API Errors
- Error management: Implement error handling in FlutterFlow to manage scenarios where the API call fails.
- Conditional display: Use conditional widgets or state management to display appropriate error messages or retries.
Step 10: Document Integration
- Document the Integration Process: In Confluence, create a new page or update an existing one to document the integration process.
- Description: Include a detailed description of the steps taken, configurations made, and any API calls created within FlutterFlow.
- Screenshots: Attach screenshots of the FlutterFlow configurations to aid understanding.
By following these steps, you will have successfully integrated FlutterFlow with Confluence, allowing you to leverage Confluence's data in your FlutterFlow applications.
