Auto-Generate Code Documentation from GitHub → Codex → Confluence
Automatically extract code from GitHub repositories, generate comprehensive documentation using Codex, and publish it to your team's Confluence wiki.
Workflow Steps
GitHub
Trigger on new commits
Set up a webhook in your GitHub repository to trigger when new code is pushed to main branch. Configure it to send repository data including file paths, commit messages, and code changes to the next step.
Zapier
Process GitHub webhook data
Create a Zap that receives the GitHub webhook and formats the code files and commit information. Extract the relevant code snippets and prepare them for documentation generation.
Codex
Generate documentation
Send the formatted code to Codex with a prompt to generate comprehensive documentation including function descriptions, parameter explanations, usage examples, and API references. Configure Codex to output in Confluence-compatible markdown format.
Confluence
Publish documentation
Automatically create or update a Confluence page in your designated documentation space. Use the repository name and commit date to organize pages, and include links back to the GitHub source code.
