How to connect Captions and Discourse
Create a New Scenario to Connect Captions and Discourse
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Captions, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Captions or Discourse will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Captions or Discourse, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Captions Node
Select the Captions node from the app selection panel on the right.

Set Up the Captions and Discourse Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Captions, 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 Captions and Discourse integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Captions 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 Captions and Discourse
Captions + Discourse + Slack: When a new topic is created in Discourse, this automation summarizes video captions and posts them as a comment on the new topic. Then, a message is sent to a designated Slack channel notifying users about the new Discourse topic and the summarized captions.
Discourse + Captions + Google Docs: This automation triggers when a new post is created in Discourse. It then appends the content of the new post, along with a summary generated from video captions, to a specified Google Docs document, archiving the discussion and associated video context.
