Save and Activate the Scenario

Test the Scenario

Depending on your setup, data should flow between Discourse and Simplybook (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 Simplybook

Discourse + Slack: When a new post is created in Discourse, specifically targeting appointment issues (determined by keywords or forum category), a notification is sent to a designated Slack channel to alert the support team.

Simplybook + Google Sheets + Discourse: Weekly, data from Simplybook bookings (e.g., service popularity) is aggregated and added to a Google Sheet. This data is then used to create a new post in a Discourse forum summarizing popular services.
