Atlassian is dropping support for Confluence Server in 2024 and encouraging customers to migrate to Confluence Cloud. The frevvo plug-in is not compatible with Confluence Cloud. Existing frevvo for Confluence licenses will be supported, but frevvo for Confluence will not be available for new customers. Please see the frevvo for Confluence page for details about this announcement and recommendations. |

Using an In-house frevvo server
- Download and install the serverfrevvo server. Instructions for a Windows platform can be found on the Installation Instructions page. Click here for information on other platforms.
- Setup your In-house server frevvo server for Confluence. You must now create a tenant specifically for Confluence.
- See Installing and Configuring the add InstallingandConfiguringtheConfluenceadd-on to complete the installation.
...
- If you change the value of the session timeout in the Confluence tenant created in and in frevvo and the server is restarted, forms/workflows in Confluence become inaccessible until the tenant is edited or the server is restarted once again.
- If you create a user in Confluence, with the role of frevvo.designer, and then try to login to the Confluence tenant on the server frevvo server with this id, an "Invalid username/password" error will display. A password reset on the server frevvo server will have to be performed to reset the random password generated when the user was created in Confluence.
...
If you cannot use UPM, you can download the addfrevvo add-on from the Atlassian Marketplace. There are serveral addseveral frevvo add-on versions available for Confluence. The add-on version required depends on your Confluence server version number. See the the frevvo add-on compatibility matrix for details.
- Click here to download the correct version of the add-on for your version of frevvo.
Then, follow Atlassian instructions for installing the add-on into Confluence. Remember to first uninstall any previous version.
...
You must first configure the add-on before you can use it. The image below shows the potential configurations available for the Confluence frevvo Confluence add-on. The image is large so that the text is readable. In most cases, you will not need to specify these configuration parameters and can leave them blank. Click Configure.
...
This is the scheme, host & port on which the forms server is running. The add-on (installed in Confluence) must be able to access the serverfrevvo server. For example, the URL to your in-house installation might be: http://frevvo.mycompany.com:8082/.
...
In some configurations, the URL used by a browser outside the firewall to access Confluence may be rewritten before it is internally passed on to Confluence. If that's the case, Confluence URLs generated by to frevvo to perform any redirection will be wrong since they will reflect the rewritten internal URL. You can specify the externally visible URL to Confluence here. If not specified, this will be inferred from the HTTP Request received by Confluence.
...
In some configurations, the externally visible URL to the forms server may be different from the above URL, i.e. the URL that a browser outside the firewall uses to access could frevvo could be different from the URL that the add-on (inside the firewall) uses to access frevvo. If that's the case, enter the externally visible URL in this configuration parameter. Your users must be able to access the server frevvo server from their browsers via this URL. When the form, workflow or task list is rendered in the browser, this URL will be used to access frevvo. This URL defaults to the above Forms Server URL if not specified.

Frevvo supports confluence over SSL. If Confluence is running over ssl, you must configure the Form Server External URL in the Confluence add-on to your Server frevvo Server url. This URL will help to render forms/workflows on Confluence pages properly. You also need to configure the 'Confluence Server Url' in the tenant you have set up specifically for Confluence. In the Serverfrevvo Server, edit the tenant and set the 'Confluence Server Url' to your HTTPS Confluence site. See Manage Tenants for more information. With both of these settings configured, you should be able to access/create forms on Confluence pages. |
...
The add-on makes HTTP requests to the serverfrevvo server, which may be remote in order to process your form. If you find that the macros frevvo macros do not work, ask your network administrator if Confluence needs to access the Internet through a web proxy.
...
- All Confluence users who create forms and workflows automatically have their user account created on the frevvo server. In order to login directly to the form server, you must first login as the admin frevvo admin and then use the login as that user feature available to the admin user to next login to the specific user account.
- All forms and workflows are created under Application 1 in the frevvo user account of the same username as the username of the Confluence user who first created the form or workflow.
...
In some browsers forms may not display due to the browser blocking unsafe scripts. Refer to your browser's documentation for details to enable them, or run frevvo over https with a self-signed certificate ( until you have purchased an authority signed certificate.)
