Latenode

Automatically send Slack messages with new Disqus comments

This template checks Disqus on a schedule, pulls new comments through the Disqus API, and posts each one to Slack.

A JavaScript node holds your Disqus API key and returns comment text, author, and thread link. Slack sends the message in the channel you choose. Connect Slack, then set how often the scenario should poll.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.

  • Calls the Disqus API from JavaScript with the key in that node
  • Posts comment text, author, and thread link to your channel
  • Runs on the schedule you set

How it works

1
Trigger

Run on a schedule

A schedule starts the scenario, for example every 15 minutes.

2
Logic

Fetch Disqus comments

Use a JavaScript node to call the Disqus API with the key stored in that node. It returns new comments with text, author, and thread link.

3
Logic

Each new comment

An iterator walks the JavaScript array so each comment becomes one Slack message.

4
Action

Post to Slack

Slack sends the comment text, author, and link in the channel you pick.

Setup guide

1

Connect Slack

Add a Slack connection and pick the channel that should receive comment alerts.

2

Store the Disqus key in JavaScript

Put the Disqus API key in the JavaScript node (Latenode Secrets). Call the list-posts endpoint for your forum and keep only comments newer than the last run.

3

Map the Slack message

Send a public channel message. Include comment text, author, and the thread link from the JavaScript output.

4

Set the schedule

Run on a schedule. Test with one new Disqus comment before shortening the interval.

Requirements

A Disqus API key stored in the JavaScript node
The Disqus forum shortname you want to watch
A Slack channel Latenode can post to

Common questions about this template

Each run uses credits on your Latenode plan. We charge for processing time (1 credit = 30 seconds). Your actual cost depends on your plan and how long the run takes. See pricing plans for plans and how credits work.
