In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step

Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Discourse, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Discourse or Wave will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Discourse or Wave, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Discourse, Wave, 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 Wave integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Discourse and Wave (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 Wave
Discourse + Wave + Slack: When a new topic is created in Discourse, specifically mentioning project financials, a notification is sent to a designated Slack channel.
Wave + Google Sheets + Discourse: When a new invoice is created in Wave, the details are added as a new row in Google Sheets. A new topic is then created in Discourse to discuss any payment-related questions concerning the invoice.
