How do I add a google drive macro to a confluence page

Lisa Curnow November 22, 2017

I have followed the instructions on this page: https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/google-drive-macros-737182322.html 

 

to add a google sheet into a confluence page.

When I add, all I get is an image. I am unable to click through to the google sheet

Ideally I want to embed the google sheet into the confluence page if possible

 

The instructions mention:

Show link to open in Google Driveyes

 

But I don't see that option on the macro page

 

Is anyone able to help?

 

Thanks

Hi Shannon

 

Yes, that is what I have been doing, Pasting the link to the google drive in the 'Widget Connector' Macro in the field Web Site's Widget URL *

 

Then publish and all I get is 2 cogs icon with docs.google.com

Cheers

Lisa,

Are you on Cloud? The documentation you sent was for Cloud so I want to be sure.

I tested this on my current Cloud instance with a Sheets document and it did ask me to login but other than that, the spreadsheet displayed.

Could you also show us what you're seeing with the 2 gears image?

Kind regards,

Shannon

Hi, 

I am having the same issue. I see only the gears but not the sheet itself.

Hi Deepak,

Your screenshot didn't attach. Could you try to send it again?

Can you also confirm which add-on you're using? The original one doesn't seem to be offered anymore on Marketplace so I want to be sure.

Lastly, can you confirm if you're the author of the document you're trying to embed?

Hi Deepak & Shannon,

I found out the issue was due to the Google sheet I was trying to embed was a locked document.

 

It worked fine with a document that was available for all to see

Cheers,

Hi Lisa,

If you just paste the link to the sheet in Google Drive in the editor, then it will embed a window in Confluence that displays the sheet, along with a button automatically in the top-right corner to open in Google Drive. 

Can you give that a try and let me know how it goes?

Kind regards,

Shannon
