Notion is the drafting desk.
Confluence is the company wiki.
Moving text between them should feel instant.
The guide below shows three fast routes that all finish in under five minutes.
Why sync Notion to Confluence
100 million creators rely on Notion [1].
75 000+ teams pay for Confluence Cloud [2].
Knowledge workers lose up to 20 % of the week rewriting docs [3].
A live bridge cuts that waste and keeps one source of truth.
Method 1: Instant Embed with Confluence Smart Links
Confluence Cloud can render any public Notion URL inside a page.
Steps
Share the page in Notion. Toggle Share to web and copy the link.
Paste the link inside Confluence. A Smart Link card appears.
Switch to Embed view. Click the card ▸ Display as → Embed.
Resize if needed. Drag the blue handles.
Publish the Confluence page. The embed goes live and refreshes every time the page loads.
Best for quick references, meeting notes, and design specs.
Time spent: ≈ 2 minutes.
Method 2: Two‑Way Sync via Unito
Unito keeps full pages updated in both apps.
Steps
Sign in to Unito. Authorize both Notion and Confluence workspaces.
Build a flow. Select Notion → Confluence.
Choose your database and space.
Map fields. Title → Title, Body → Content, Tags → Labels.
Launch the sync. Click Save & Sync.
Edits move both directions every few minutes.
Best for product specs, policies, and docs that multiple teams edit.
Setup time: ≈ 4 minutes.
Backup Option: HTML Macro + EmbedNotionPages
On Confluence Data Center (or Cloud with admin add‑on) you can enable the HTML macro.
Grab an iframe snippet from EmbedNotionPages.
Paste it into the macro.
Save and publish.
The page shows live Notion styling and updates immediately.
Best for private installs or when Smart Links are blocked.
Benefits over manual copy‑paste
Single source – Edit once, everywhere updates.
Zero plugin bloat – Smart Links are built‑in; Unito and iframes run in the cloud.
Version safety – Notion and Confluence each keep their own history.
Consistent formatting – Tables, headings, and images stay intact.
Extra polish tips
Give Confluence readers view‑only links to stop accidental edits in Notion.
Use clear H‑levels in Notion so embeds keep hierarchy.
Add a Page Properties Panel in Confluence to surface key fields like Owner or Status.
Tag synced pages with a “Notion‑Sync” label for easy filtering later.
Final thoughts
Smart Links are fastest for a quick embed.
Unito is deepest for bi‑directional docs.
HTML + iframe works when admins lock down apps.
Pick the route that fits and reclaim the hour you used to spend copying text.
