There are immediate upsides for teams that integrate Github with Confluence, they are able to immediately increase efficiency, and productivity and streamline their project management process. But in setting up the integration between both platforms, there are occasional issues teams encounter.
Here are some frequently occurring issues and how to troubleshoot them.
Incorrect Repository URL: One common issue is an incorrect repository URL. To fix this, ensure that the GitHub repository URL is accurate and properly formatted. Double-check for any typos or missing characters, such as slashes or periods. If the URL includes a subdirectory, ensure it is included as well. Correcting the repository URL will ensure that the link points to the correct GitHub repository, allowing seamless integration with Confluence.
Insufficient Permissions: Another common cause of integration issues is insufficient permissions. Make sure that the user account connecting Confluence with GitHub has appropriate access rights to the repository. Also, verify that the account has the necessary permissions to view and link to the repository in question. Granting the account adequate permissions will enable successful integration between GitHub and Confluence.
Connection or Network Issues: Connection or network issues can disrupt the integration process. Check your network connection and ensure that there are no firewalls or proxies blocking the communication between Confluence and GitHub. Additionally, verify that the GitHub service is operational. Troubleshooting network and connection issues will help to identify and resolve any hindrances to the integration.
As little as these issues may seem, they are actually quite common and taking the right steps to troubleshoot would save a lot of time.
