Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Discourse, Ghost, 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 Discourse and Ghost integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Discourse and Ghost (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.

Most powerful ways to connect Discourse and Ghost

Discourse + Ghost + Slack: When a new popular topic is created in Discourse, a draft post is created in Ghost. A notification is then sent to a Slack channel to alert reviewers of the new draft.

Ghost + Discourse + Twitter: When a new post is published on Ghost, a new topic is created on Discourse to promote the content, and then a tweet is sent on Twitter. Note: Twitter integration is not available, therefore it is omitted.
