How to connect Discourse and NetSuite
Create a New Scenario to Connect Discourse and NetSuite
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 NetSuite will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Discourse or NetSuite, 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, NetSuite, 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 NetSuite integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Discourse and NetSuite (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 NetSuite
Discourse + NetSuite + Slack: When a new topic is created in Discourse, especially those tagged as critical support issues, a corresponding support case is automatically created in NetSuite. Subsequently, a notification is sent to the support team's Slack channel to ensure immediate attention and resolution.
NetSuite + Discourse + Gmail: When a new customer record is created in NetSuite, a welcome topic is automatically created in Discourse to foster community engagement. Simultaneously, the new customer receives a personalized welcome email via Gmail, enhancing their initial experience.
