Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Instantly, Discourse, and any additional nodes, donโt 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 โRun onceโ and triggering an event to check if the Instantly and Discourse integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Instantly 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 Instantly and Discourse
Instantly + Discourse + Slack: When a new lead is created in Instantly, a topic is created in Discourse to start a discussion. A summary of the new lead and the Discourse topic is then sent to a designated Slack channel.
Discourse + Instantly + Google Sheets: When a new topic is created in Discourse, the details of the topic are added as a new row in a Google Sheet. This new row then triggers a personalized email campaign to the topic creator using Instantly.
