How to connect Discourse and WordPress.com

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 WordPress.com will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Discourse or WordPress.com, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Discourse, WordPress.com, 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 WordPress.com integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Discourse and WordPress.com (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 WordPress.com
Discourse + WordPress.com + Slack: When a new topic is created in Discourse, check if it becomes popular (e.g., reaches a certain number of replies). If it does, create a corresponding post in WordPress.com and then send a notification to a Slack channel about the new WordPress post.
WordPress.com + Discourse + Mailchimp: When a new post is published on a WordPress.com site, create a discussion topic in Discourse to encourage community engagement. Simultaneously, send a newsletter via Mailchimp to subscribers, highlighting the new blog post and linking to the Discourse discussion.
