Reply to a Page Comment Thread
with Confluence
Works with AI assistants
Post a threaded reply to an existing footer comment on a Confluence page.
- List the footer comments on the page in storage format so the caller can see the thread it is about to join.
- Read the comment being answered to confirm it exists, is still current, and is anchored to the page the caller supplied.
- Create the reply as a footer comment nested under the parent by supplying both the pageId and the parentCommentId.
- 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).
