IntellinQ

Dynamic links that build themselves — configure once, use everywhere.

IntellinQ — configure systems with name, prefix, and base URL

What it does

IntellinQ solves a different problem from Confluence Mapping. Teams reference document numbers like PDL-423, CHG-4521, or INC-9032 across runbooks, wikis, and incident playbooks. Without IntellinQ, those references are either plain text or hand-copied URLs that break the moment a base URL changes.

With IntellinQ, an admin configures your numbering systems once. Editors then drop the IntellinQ macro into any Confluence page, type a document number, and the right URL is resolved automatically — every time.

Example

Key benefits

• No copying and pasting of URLs
• No broken links when base URLs change
• Consistent linking patterns across all pages
• Systems organised in folders for easy management
• Each folder can be downloaded as CSV

Add New System — name, prefix, base URL

Steps

1. Open Link-a-Link admin → IntellinQ
2. Find the "Add New System" form
3. Fill in the three fields:
   • System Name — display name (e.g., "ProductDocs")
   • Prefix — the document ID prefix (e.g., "PDL")
   • Base URL — the URL pattern (e.g., "docs.yourcompany.com/")
4. Click Add System

Changing a base URL

When you need to update a base URL — for example, after a domain migration — edit the system in the admin panel and save. Every Confluence page using that system's prefix automatically resolves to the new URL on next view. No re-editing of pages required.

Using the IntellinQ macro

Editor guide for inserting dynamic links into Confluence pages.

Steps

1. Open any Confluence page in edit mode
2. Type /IntellinQ or find the macro in the macro browser
3. Select the System from the dropdown (configured by your admin)
4. Enter the Document ID (e.g., PDL-423)
5. Click Insert

The macro renders the resolved URL directly in the page. When the base URL is updated by the admin later, the macro automatically reflects the new URL — no re-editing required.
