Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Atera, Discourse, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Atera and Discourse integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Atera and Discourse (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Atera and Discourse
Atera + Slack + Discourse: When a new or updated customer is created in Atera, a message is sent to a designated Slack channel to alert the support team. Subsequently, a summary of the customer information is posted to a relevant Discourse channel for broader awareness.
Discourse + Atera + Google Sheets: When a new topic is created in Discourse, its title and URL are added as a new row in a Google Sheet. The ticket number is extracted from the post and the corresponding Atera customer is found. The Google Sheet tracks the URL, Discourse post title and customer information.
