Google Sheets for Confluence allows you to easily embed Google Sheets files into your Confluence page.

 How to retrieve a Google Sheet’s URL
 Embed the document with the editor's interface

  1. In your Google document, click on Share in the upper right corner of the screen.

  2. Set your desired access options, then click on Copy.

Embedding Google documents with restricted access

Viewing Google documents with organization or restricted access requires an authorized Google account and consequently, the ability to log into such account.

However, Google’s support to external authentication is currently limited.

If a user tries to view a restricted document through an embedder app and they’re NOT logged into any Google account, Google’s login screen won’t show up and instead a generic error will be displayed.

To fix this:

  • open a separate tab and access any Google product

  • log into your Google account

  • go back to Jira/Confluence or monday.com and refresh the page

Once you are logged in, it will also apply to other Google Workspace embedders you use.

Aggressive cookie-blocking systems (like the default options in Brave browser) will prevent the embedder app to keep your authentication. Disable them in order to correctly log into your Google account. Deleting cookies will cancel your authentication.

 Embed the document without the editor’s interface (Google Sheets and Google Docs only)

  1. In Google Sheets and Google Docs, click on File > Share > Publish to web.

  2. If not published, set your desired publishing settings and click on Publish.

  3. Copy the displayed URL in the Link tab.

How to use

Unable to render {include} The included page could not be found.

Auto mode

  1. Copy the public URL address of your Google Sheets file

  2. Paste it into your Confluence editor

  3. (Optional) Edit the viewer settings

Manual mode

  1. Copy the URL address of your Google Sheets file

  2. Open the Google Sheets macro in Confluence typing /sheets

  3. Paste the URL of the file into the corresponding section

The recommended minimum width is 1350 px. You should set your Confluence page to full width since fixed width is 760px.

If you click on the Google Sheets icon in the embedded viewer, the application may crash. Please refresh your browser page if this occurs. We are aware of this issue but since it is caused by a limitation of the Google platform it can’t be fixed at the moment.
