Is it possible to create a Confluence page by uploading a markdown file?

I used the Obsidian note-taking app for creating product requirements. The files the app produces are .md (markdown). I like the content I've created and the organization between files, but my team uses Confluence and won't switch to Obsidian. 

I want to avoid having to copy/paste the content of the markdown files into Confluence pages to share with my teammates because there are a lot of files. Uploading the files as attachments to a page is not useful because my teammates will have to open files individually. 

Is it possible to create a Confluence page from a markdown file?

Hi @Corey,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Yes, it is possible, but you would need an app in order to do it. There are multiple ones in the Marketplace. A couple of our engineering teams is doing this and we are using the Render Markdown app together with a script that extract the .md file in GitHub and generates pages for each repository.

Thanks @Mikael Sandberg . Not what I was hoping for, but I guess it's something I'll have to dig into further to figure out how to set it up for us. Thank you.

I just copied the preview content of the markdown (as opposed to markdown code), in a markdown viewer, and pasted in the confluence new UI. It worked flawlessly.

I'm also one of the guys that have created a markdown to Confluence tool.

I really like the Material for MkDocs markdown format, and use it all the time in my everything-as-code development setup. So I like to recreate as much of the Material for MkDocs look and feel in Confluence, because Confluence is a good Developer Portal platform :).

I think I have something that is pretty feature complete, support almost any Material for MkDocs syntax - https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/

I'm also going to ensure that my tool will support the next version (Zensical) when it comes out of beta :)

If this sounds interesting, have a look at my GitHub repo - https://github.com/jeckyl2010/mkdocs2confluence

If you find it useful, or lacking some features, please let me know.

Have an awesome day.
