Add Discourse Piece

Discourse

As many communities are built on Discourse (such as ActivePieces community), I think it would be great to have a Discourse piece like Zapier does :grinning:

This would allow us to integrate Discourse with other apps, such as sending emails to new users, summarizing threads with ChatGPT or creating a new thread when a user reaches a certain Trust Level.

Actions

Create new post
Create new topic
Change memberā€™s Trust Level
Add member to a group
Send private message to a member

Triggers

New post
New topic
New member
Change in Trust Level
Private message received

Thanks!

Probably, the best way to start would be just having these two Actions/Triggers:

Actions

Create new post
Create new topic

Triggers

New post
New topic

That would be quite enough. I still have to use Zapier for that!

I am from the community and NOT a member of ActivePieces, but I will be working on this integration. This week and maybe the next one. Iā€™ll let you know if I can ā€œreleaseā€ this piece. At least your last postā€™s triggers and actions.

I have created the piece with the 5 actions you requested. I didnā€™t create any triggers because you can consume webhooks within Discourse. I hope they release this piece soon.

That is great, thank you :grinning: I think they released it already, looking forward the triggers as well!

This is an example where I am using the triggers in Zapier. I collect all the posts from my community, and then I send them weekly to ChatGPT to create a summary:

Hello @Verso ! About the triggers, I donā€™t have them in sight right now.

You can use Discourse webhooks in order to trigger actions on your flows.

You only need to create a new flow, use a webhook as the trigger (ā€œCoreā€ tab), get the generated URL and set it up on your community admin dashboard. More on that here.

Hi @PFernandez98

Did you finally do any progress with the triggers? I know it could be done with webhooks, but having the triggers would be really helpful (especially for non-tech people like me).

Anyhow, thanks for your help and altruism :grinning:

Hi man! List the triggers youā€™d want. Iā€™ll try to develop them soon.

Iā€™ll let you know when they become available.

Good day!

(sorry for the late reply, I was out for some days)

That would be awesome @PFernandez98! I think the most important triggers are New Post and New Topic. Thatā€™s it!

Thank you and good day :grinning:

Hi @PFernandez98, I hope you are doing fine :grinning: Did you manage to create the triggers New Post and New Topic for Discourse? If you need anything from me, please let me know.

Thank you!

Just bumping this up to ask if anyone can help in adding triggers (New Post, New Topic) to the Discourse Piece.

Iā€™ve been waiting that for months and I think that would add a great piece to Activepieces. Thank you :grinning:
