Insert Page Meta Data Into Page

Bim Lloyd January 21, 2025

Hey All,

I was wondering if it is possible to insert metadata like page owner, date created, date edited, last viewed by etc into the content of a confluence page. 

Cheers

Hi @bimbims

I can propose my app that does just what you ask: Page Information Macro

Hi @Bim Lloyd ,

As Jim already stated, some metadata are available with automations.

When you have more needs, you can try our addon Document Metadata for Confluence Cloud (free trial).

This allows you to add many more metadata like last edit date, page author, last editor, link to page, ...

In short these are things you can do:

  • Show metadata directly in your page, even in tables and other macros.
  • Show content status and document version information.
  • Print documents with embedded metadata.
  • Use the the built-in Page Properties macro to aggregate Document Metadata.
  • Add QR codes to link printed documents back to Confluence.

Hi @Bim Lloyd 

You probably can by using Automation on a "page published" trigger and inserting content with smart values:

  • Page owner: {{page.owner.fullName}}
  • Date created: {{page.dateFirstPublished}}
  • Date edited: {{page.dateLastUpdated}}

Things like "last viewed by" are more involved, I don't see a trigger for viewing a page, so you would need to get creative. At first blush, you could inject some Javascript that sends the server a webhook that you can use as a trigger to update the page.
