Your open-source community forum, run by AI agents

ارتباطاتSocialبهره‌وریپشتیبانیDeveloper

Discourse is the open-source forum platform that powers thousands of developer communities, customer support hubs, and public discussion boards — built for long-form conversation at scale. Connect Discourse to Actionist and your agents can triage incoming topics, create and manage categories, provision new user accounts, update posts with resolution notes, and react to webhook events like a new post or a suspended user — all in plain language without an admin panel in sight. Whether you're running a SaaS customer community or an internal engineering knowledge base, the agent handles the repetitive moderation and publishing work so your team focuses on the conversations that matter.

Support ticket lands on Discourse instantly

When a customer emails your support inbox, the agent reads the message, finds the closest matching Discourse category, and creates a structured topic in under 60 seconds — complete with product version, account tier, and a formatted reproduction checklist. The original sender gets a reply linking them to the live Discourse thread where your team is already engaged, cutting average first-response time from hours to minutes.

اتصال

چطور Discourse را به Actionist وصل کنید

روش اتصالی را انتخاب کنید که با محیط کاری شما سازگار است.

The fastest path: install Discourse's MCP server and the agent reaches your forum through a direct, permissioned channel — no API keys to rotate, no admin panel juggling.

1
Open the Apps tab

Find Discourse in the Apps library and click Connect. MCP is selected by default as the recommended method.

2
Enter your Discourse instance URL

Provide the base URL of your Discourse forum (e.g. https://community.yourcompany.com) so the MCP server knows which instance to talk to.

3
Authorise with an API key

In your Discourse admin panel, navigate to Admin → API Keys and generate a system-user API key. Paste it into the Actionist connection dialog.

4
Test the connection

Actionist runs a read-only call to confirm the MCP server can reach your forum. A green tick means you're ready.

پرسش‌ها

پرسش‌ها درباره Discourse + Actionist

How do I connect my Discourse forum to Actionist?
Open the Apps tab, find Discourse, and click Connect. You'll need the base URL of your forum (e.g. https://community.yourcompany.com) and an API key generated from Admin → API → API Keys. Create a dedicated system-user key — not a personal account key — so you can scope permissions cleanly and revoke without disruption.
What API key permissions does the agent need?
For full read and write access across categories, groups, posts, and users, create a Global API key scoped to a dedicated system user account. If you prefer least-privilege, Discourse lets you scope keys to specific endpoint groups — create separate keys for read-only reporting agents and write-capable action agents and use the right one per workflow.
Can the agent combine Discourse with my CRM or helpdesk?
Yes — that's exactly where Discourse automation pays off. A typical pattern: new Discourse post triggers a Zendesk ticket, agent posts an acknowledgement reply in the forum thread, and logs the conversation link on the HubSpot contact record. The agent coordinates all three systems in one workflow; you define the routing logic in plain language.
What are the most common Discourse automation patterns?
The four highest-leverage patterns are: (1) routing new topics to the right category and notifying the right team; (2) provisioning Discourse accounts and group memberships when users sign up or upgrade; (3) publishing release notes and weekly digests automatically; and (4) reacting to webhook events — suspended user, post edited, topic recovered — to keep downstream records in sync.
Does the pricing model affect how I run Discourse workflows?
Actionist is not — there's no per-operation charge. You connect Discourse directly via the MCP server or API key and the agent executes as many reads and writes as your workflow needs. High-volume patterns like nightly user audits or per-post digest builders run without incremental cost per Discourse API call.
How do I avoid trigger loops when the agent posts to Discourse?
Two safeguards: first, use a dedicated system-user API key for agent-created posts — most Discourse webhook consumers let you filter by author so events from the system account don't re-fire the trigger. Second, add a condition step that checks whether the topic or post was created by the system user before the agent acts, short-circuiting the loop at the workflow level.
Which Discourse objects can the agent read and write?
The agent covers four resource types: Categories (create, list, update), Groups (create, read, list, update, add member, remove member), Posts (create, read, list, update), and Users (create, read, list). For actions beyond these — such as tagging, badges, or bulk moderation — use a direct API call via the HTTP action with the same credentials.
What happens if I disconnect Discourse from Actionist?
Active trigger listeners are removed immediately and no new events are processed. Workflows that include Discourse actions will fail at the Discourse step and surface an error — no silent data loss. Reconnecting restores functionality; any events that fired during the disconnection window are not replayed, so time-sensitive triggers may miss events that occurred in the gap.
