Summary

HTML macros are disabled by default

The HTML macro will only be available if it has been enabled by an administrator. Enabling these macros can make your Confluence site vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks.

For more information and to enable the HTML Macro please see our documentation

The article will provide some steps to embed Smartsheet in a Confluence page using the HTML Macro.

Solution

  • Enable the HTML Macro

  • Publish your Smartsheet by following the guidelines. You should end up with a publicly accessible URL

  • Log in to Confluence and go to the page where the Smartsheet needs to be included

  • Edit the page.

  • Add an HTML Macro on the page and add the following iFrame, making sure to change the URL you got in the previous step to the SRC parameter:

    <IFRAME WIDTH=1000 HEIGHT=700 FRAMEBORDER=0 SRC="insert publish view link from smartsheets"></IFRAME>

    You can change the width and height you want the Smartsheet to use by changing the WIDTH and HEIGHT parameter.
