Add rows with data to existing page/table in confluence

Maxime GUITTET

Hi,

 

I have a page on confluence which mostly contains only a table with rows. Each row is relative to a certain product update, and gives the following (example):

 

```

| Date              | Name                 | Description                               |

|-------------------|----------------------|-------------------------------------------|

| 2021-04-14 | Saint Maxime  | An awesome day of course! |

| 2021-04-01 | April Fool         | Lorem ips... just kidding.        |

|-------------------|----------------------|-------------------------------------------|

```

 

And so, I would like to be able to update this page by adding a row to this existing table at the top The thing is, I am currently reading your documentation and I am not sure to fully understand how can I achieve such action?

 

Thanks, 

 

Max

Dear @Maxime GUITTET ,

welcome to the community!

You could do with the REST API and write a script around that does following

1. Read (REST) the page with the table
2. Manipulate the body information by inserting a row on top
3. Update (REST) the page with the new body.

You could then call the script for example with:

script 2021-05-01 "Alice and Bob" "The cat is dead"

You could even hide the script behind a webserver so that you could call it with:

https://host.com/script?date=2021-05-01&name=Alice+and+Bob&text=The+cat+is+dead

I recommend PHP for this - its very simple.

So long

Thomas
