Confluence Cloud Macro Parameters

[Lee Parvin]

Hi there

Im learning creating Macros for Confluence Cloud, starting with the Hello World example under the Forge section.

Im now wanting to add parameters to the macro. I already have working REST API code that updates Confluence pages, and I now want to call my macro (with parameters) from within the REST API.

So for example, I have the Hello World macro on a page, which says 'Hello World'. I now want to update to the macro to display 'Hello Lee', ideally using the markdown syntax eg {LeeMacro:param1=Hello Lee{LeeMacro}

Is this possible?

Hi @Lee Parvin ,

All options the macro gives you using the gui, can be used using the API. If you create a page with macros using the gui, then use the rest api to view/download the page, you will see how the options are included in the macro at the page.

Hi Bert

Using the Pets Macro example, I have created the macro and added it to a Confluence Page, and it works well.   However, if I try to get the macro details using the REST API using (https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/api-group-content---macro-body/#api-group-content---macro-body), I keep receiving the error Status 404 No Macro found on content ID..... 

The Macro ID I use was set in the Manifest.yml ie app id, and the Page ID is taken from the page that runs the macro.

Looking at the REST Response I get from calling ?expand=body.atlas_doc_format, it apprears that the Macro ID is different.

Thanks
