How to connect Discourse and Mailhook
Create a New Scenario to Connect Discourse and Mailhook
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 Mailhook will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Discourse or Mailhook, 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.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Discourse, Mailhook, 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 Mailhook integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Discourse and Mailhook (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 Mailhook
Discourse + Mailhook + Slack: When a new post is created in Discourse, Mailhook receives the post content. If specific keywords are found, Mailhook triggers sending a message to a designated Slack channel.
Mailhook + Discourse + Google Sheets: When Mailhook receives a new submission containing an email address, a new topic is created in the Discourse forum with the email content. The email address is then added as a new row in a Google Sheet.
