Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Contacts+, 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 Contacts+ and Discourse integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Contacts+ 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 Contacts+ and Discourse
Contacts+ + Google Sheets + Discourse: When a new contact is added to Contacts+, their information is added to a Google Sheet, and a new topic is created in Discourse to welcome them to the community.
Discourse + Mailchimp + Contacts+: When a user achieves a specific trust level in Discourse, they are added to a Mailchimp list to receive exclusive content. Their contact in Contacts+ is then updated with a tag indicating their membership in this list.
