How to Preserve Formatting in Confluence Postmortem Templates
Last updated: May 12, 2025
When creating automatic postmortem pages in Confluence through the integration, there are two methods to ensure formatting is preserved:
Method 1: Use Confluence Template
Create your template directly in Confluence, then reference it in your Rootly workflow:
Create and format your template in Confluence as desired
In your Rootly workflow settings, attach this Confluence template to the automation that creates the retrospective document
Method 2: Use Atlassian Markdown
Create your template in Rootly using Atlassian-compatible markdown syntax:
Edit your template in Rootly
Use Atlassian markdown syntax to apply formatting
The formatting will be preserved when the document is created in Confluence
For reference on supported markdown syntax, consult the Atlassian Markdown Syntax Guide.
