Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Google Ads, Discourse, 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 Google Ads and Discourse integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Ads and Discourse (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.

Most powerful ways to connect Google Ads and Discourse

Google Ads + Discourse + Slack: When a new Google Ads campaign is created, a discussion topic is automatically created in Discourse to gather feedback. The marketing team is then notified in Slack about the new topic.

Discourse + Google Ads + Google Analytics: When a new topic is created in Discourse, create a corresponding campaign in Google Ads. Track the number of new users who click on these ads and visit the Discourse forum by setting up a Key Event in Google Analytics.
