I know Christ instituted confession but when was confession a sacrament of the church. Was it at the council of Trent?

The Didache, which I would call the Church’s first Liturgical guidelines, written in the late first century A.D. says this:
“Confess your sins in church, and do not go up to your prayer with an evil conscience. This is the way of life. . . . On the Lord’s Day gather together, break bread, and give thanks, after confessing your transgressions so that your sacrifice may be pure” (Didache 4:14, 14:1 [A.D. 70]).
Confession of sins to the Church, a priest, has been a practice of the early Christians from the very beginning. For a list of what the early Church Fathers had to say about the Sacrament click here.

Well before the Council of Trent. 1211 I think is when it was adopted into the church as we have it now, but Christ gave us the 7 sacraments and we have always had 7 sacraments and it will not change

Private confession was later, but confession itself is straight up New Testament.
