ID generator

[Schewtschuk_ Ilya]

Is there an easy way to embed a small macro into a confluence page?

For example I would like to have an ID-generator - a tiny web application embedded into a confluence page with a single button. If pressed, ID-generator would take the current date & time and converts it into a 32-based number.

Hi @Schewtschuk_ Ilya , I am developer at Wombats Corp.
I`ve tried to find some built-in solutions in Confluence, but as @Aron Gombas _Midori_ said it isn`t allowed. 
For this case i have created ID Generator macro, using our app User Macro for Confluence Cloud. This macro generates base32 ID based on current time and date. Unfortunately i couldn`t add copy button to this macro due to restriction to clipboard api(

Macro is available in our Library along other very useful and ready to use User Macros.

Hi @Schewtschuk_ Ilya ,
I`ve been thinking about that copy button, which is very important for that macro, I believe. Even with those restrictions I came up with this version with copy button, so it is much more useful now. Macro is available in our Library.

Thank you very much, @Adriian Semotiuk _Wombats Corp_ ,

unfortunately, the User Macro for Confluence Cloud is also not available in my organisation. At the end of the day, I used Microsoft Power Apps as a workaround and I was also able to embed the mini-app into the Confluence pages I wanted. But it is still still quite slow and clumsy, and the user rights management is decoupled from the confluence user rights management.

Confluence Cloud doesn't allow embedding arbitrary external web applications, due to security reasons. At the same time, it allows adding external content like a Google Spreadsheet to the content table.

If I were I would consider these approaches:

1. If the ID generator can be transformed to a spreadsheet, then I would convert it to a GSheet and add that to Confluene.
2. Otherwise look for an app that allows embedding HTML. There are many of these.

Thank you, @Aron Gombas _Midori_ ,

I'll take a look on the HTML-based embedded apps.
