Discourse connector for Okou

Read community content and metadata, publish topics or replies, and edit or remove content on a Discourse site.

Communication · API Key

Use Discourse in Okou

Use the Discourse community API to list forum content, categories, tags, groups, private-message topic lists, user activity and administrative metadata, or publish, edit and remove topics and posts on the connected Discourse site.

Once connected, supported Discourse actions can become steps in a reusable workflow alongside the other services your team uses. Run the workflow once, on a schedule, or when an event starts it.

What you can do with Discourse

  • Publish a topic, reply, or private message; may notify members and consume email/storage allowances.
  • Read user-scoped received and sent private-message topic lists.
  • Read badge definitions and user badge awards.
  • Read directory statistics and visible user activity without profile-visit tracking.
  • Read site and public branding/configuration metadata.
  • List backup filenames, sizes, and dates, without downloading archives or issuing links.
  • Edit a post and its associated content; updates provider state.
  • Read visible categories and category details.
