Can the Confluence connector create folders and edit complex pages?
Hi Dust team, We are attempting to move some of our Confluence workflows from Claude to Dust, but we can’t get the same results in Dust. Compared with the Claude connector, the Dust Confluence connector doesn’t seem able to:
- 1.
Create folders and place pages in them.
- 2.
Edit complex pages with tables and icons.
When we asked a Dust agent why, it gave this assessment:
Folders: the connector only offers page tools (read, search, create, update, labels). There’s no tool to create, list or move folders, and create_page can only create pages. Claude’s Atlassian connector has a general createConfluenceContent tool that accepts contentType: "folder".
Complex pages: get_page with includeBody: true returns simplified text instead of the original Confluence format. Tables are flattened, Jira macros become plain text and status icons become image links. update_page replaces the whole page, so the agent would have to rebuild it from that simplified text and would lose the formatting. One page where this happens is “SightCall V3 Feature list” (page ID 3373498369).
Cause: we get no permission errors, so this looks like a limit of how the connector is built rather than a setting our admin can change.
Could you please look into this? Product teams depend heavily on this connector. Thanks!
