Smart Announcement Banner for Confluence
Share targeted, scheduled announcements as a banner on Confluence pages, and see who has read them.
Overview
Publish announcements for your whole Confluence site or for a single space. The top announcement appears as a banner above page content, and the full list is available on Announcements pages and on Confluence Home.
Space administrators can publish to their own space without involving a site administrator. Also available for Jira and Bitbucket.
Features
Five announcement types
Critical, Warning, Information, Success and Tip, each with its own colour and icon. Set a priority, pin it, or add a button link.
Scheduling
Set start and end times in your own timezone, or pause an announcement and resume it later.
Audience targeting
Show an announcement to everyone, or include or exclude specific people or groups.
Acknowledgement tracking
Ask readers to acknowledge, let them dismiss or snooze, or keep a notice always visible.
Delegated publishing
Administrators at each level publish to their own audience, without needing a site administrator.
Insights
See acknowledgements, dismissals and how many people each announcement reached.
How to use
Site console
Confluence administration → Settings → Apps → Smart Announcement Banner
Space console
Space settings → Apps → Smart Announcement Banner
Where readers see it
The banner above pages, the Announcements page in a space, the panel on Confluence Home, and Apps → Announcements
-
Open the right console
Open the console for the level you want to publish at. Site reaches everyone; Space reaches people reading pages in that space.
-
Write the announcement
Click New announcement, add a title and message, and choose a type and priority. The live preview shows exactly what readers will see.
-
Choose how readers clear it
Pick Require acknowledgement, Dismissible (with an optional snooze) or Always visible.
-
Choose who sees it
Choose everyone, or include or exclude specific people or Confluence groups. Targeting never reaches beyond the console’s own site or space.
-
Set a schedule
Optionally add start and end dates with the calendar picker, and check the summary line below the fields before saving.
-
Publish and follow up
Save to publish, or save as paused for later. Use Insights to see who has read it, and Reset reads to show it again after an important update.
Good to know
- Each console holds up to three announcements and runs one at a time.
- Pause hides an announcement and keeps its read history. Delete removes both permanently.
- The page banner shows one announcement at a time: pinned ones first, then by priority. All others appear on the Announcements page.
Privacy
- Stores your announcements and which readers acknowledged or dismissed them, using Atlassian account IDs.
- Recent reader activity is kept for 90 days.
- Supports Atlassian’s personal data reporting, so data for closed accounts is erased.
- Data is kept in Atlassian Forge storage. The app makes no connections outside Atlassian.
Our privacy policy covers every AryonForge app.
