How to connect Caspio and Discourse
Create a New Scenario to Connect Caspio 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 Caspio, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Caspio or Discourse will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Caspio or Discourse, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

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

Set Up the Caspio 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 Caspio, 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 Caspio and Discourse integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Caspio 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 Caspio and Discourse
Caspio + Discourse + Slack: When a new entry is added to a Caspio database, a new topic is created in Discourse. A notification is then sent to a specified Slack channel to alert users about the new forum topic.
Discourse + Caspio + Google Sheets: When a new user joins Discourse, their information is added as a new record to a Caspio database table and also added as a new row in a Google Sheet for tracking and analysis.
