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

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

Add the Google AppSheet Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the Discourse node, select Google AppSheet from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Google AppSheet.

Set Up the Discourse and Google AppSheet 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 Discourse, Google AppSheet, 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 Google AppSheet integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Discourse and Google AppSheet (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 Google AppSheet
Discourse + Google AppSheet + Slack: When a new topic is created in Discourse, a new row is added to a Google AppSheet spreadsheet. A notification is then sent to a designated Slack channel to alert the product team.
Google AppSheet + Discourse + Gmail: When a new record is added to Google AppSheet via a form submission, a new topic is created in a Discourse forum. A confirmation email is then sent to the user via Gmail.
