Reply to a Page Comment Thread

Works with AI assistants

Post a threaded reply to an existing footer comment on a Confluence page.

  1. List the footer comments on the page in storage format so the caller can see the thread it is about to join.
  2. Read the comment being answered to confirm it exists, is still current, and is anchored to the page the caller supplied.
  3. Create the reply as a footer comment nested under the parent by supplying both the pageId and the parentCommentId.
  4. Read the parent comment's children to confirm the new reply is attached to the thread rather than orphaned at the page level.
What you'll need to have ready
  • pageId: The id of the page carrying the comment thread.
  • parentCommentId: The id of the comment being replied to.
  • replyBody: The reply body in Confluence storage format (XHTML).
