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!
