The Scenario
You are a technical writer at a software company. Your engineering lead gave you an Excel workbook on Monday: 40 API endpoint names in column A, descriptions in column B. Each needs a dedicated Confluence page in the Engineering space. Documentation sprint closes Thursday at noon.
It is Tuesday morning. The workbook is in a shared OneDrive folder.
The bad version of the next two days:
- Open Confluence, click "Create page," type the endpoint name, paste the description, save
- Navigate back, create the next page
- By row 15 you are copying without reading
- Wednesday morning, realize you pasted three descriptions into the wrong pages
- Fix them manually, lose 40 minutes
- Submit Thursday with errors you did not catch until a developer asks why GET /users has the POST /orders description.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Excel workbook that reads the columns and creates the Confluence pages for you, without you opening the editor once.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Create a Confluence page in the Engineering space for each row in this workbook, using column A as the page title and column B as the page body. Write the resulting Confluence page URL back into column C for each row.
SheetXAI reads all 40 rows, calls Confluence once per row, and writes each URL back into column C. You spot-check five links and hand the workbook to your engineering lead.
What You Get
A row-for-row result set in the workbook:
- Column C — live Confluence URL for each newly created page
- 40 pages in the Engineering space — exact titles and bodies from the workbook
- A clean audit trail — success or error per row, visible at a glance
The URLs go back into the workbook. Engineers can link to their endpoint pages directly from the workbook, or you can run a follow-up prompt to add all pages to a parent table of contents.
If pages need to be children of specific parent pages, add the parent page ID in a new column and tell SheetXAI to use it.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Documentation workbooks are often assembled by multiple contributors. SheetXAI handles the inconsistencies before it writes to Confluence.
When endpoint names use inconsistent casing
The workbook was built from three exports and column A has a mix of PascalCase, snake_case, and plain English names.
Normalize the endpoint names in column A to title case. Then create a Confluence page in the Engineering space for each row using the normalized name as the title and the content in column B as the body. Write the URL into column C.
When some descriptions are blank
Eight rows have no content in column B. You cannot wait for the engineers to fill them in before the sprint closes.
For rows where column B is blank, write a one-sentence placeholder description based on the endpoint name in column A, then create the Confluence page with that placeholder. Mark those rows in column D with "placeholder." Write all page URLs into column C.
When pages need to be children of different parent pages
Column C has a parent page ID for each endpoint grouping. Some endpoints belong to the Auth section, others to the Data API section.
Create a Confluence child page under the parent ID in column C for each row in this workbook, using column A as the page title and column B as the page body. Write the resulting page URL into column D.
When the workbook has duplicates and deprecated rows
The workbook was built over three weeks and has duplicate endpoint names and rows marked "deprecated" in column D.
Remove any rows where column A duplicates a previous row or where column D says "deprecated." For the remaining rows, create a Confluence page in the Engineering space using column A as the title and column B as the body. Write the URL into column E and the total page count into cell F1.
The pattern: describe the cleanup and the page creation in one prompt. SheetXAI handles both before any Confluence call is made.
Try It
Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open any Excel workbook with page titles and content you need to push to Confluence, then ask it to create the pages. The Confluence integration is included in every SheetXAI plan. For related workflows, see how to bulk-update Confluence page content from an Excel workbook or the Confluence in Excel overview.
