Practical ways you can use Discord and Discourse
Bridge conversations from Discord to Discourse
Streamline your community discussions. When a new conversation starts in Discord, Zapier automatically posts it as a topic in your Discourse forum. This creates a centralized archive for important discussions, improving content accessibility and reducing fragmented communication.

Log Discord updates into Discourse forums
Sync updates across tools. When a new message is posted in a specific Discord channel, Zapier creates a forum post in your Discourse platform. This prevents key project updates or discussions from getting lost, ensuring clear documentation and better accessibility.
EngineeringShare new Discourse topics with Discord members
Keep your community engaged across platforms. When a new topic is created on your Discourse forum, Zapier sends an announcement message to a selected Discord channel. This ensures consistent updates and boosts collaboration between forum discussions and chat activity.

Frequently Asked Questions about Discord + Discourse integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Discord and Discourse
How do I set up a new integration between Discord and Discourse?
To set up a new integration, you need to use our platform where you can create a Zap. Start by selecting Discord as your trigger app and choose the specific event, such as 'New Message Posted'. Then choose Discourse as your action app, where you can select actions like 'Create Post'. Follow the guided steps to authenticate both accounts.
Can I automatically post new topics from a Discourse forum into a Discord channel?
Yes, you can set this up by creating a Zap that uses Discourse's 'New Topic' as the trigger and Discord's 'Send Channel Message' as the action. This will automatically post any new topics from your specified Discourse forum into the selected Discord channel.
Is it possible to notify my Discord server about specific tags used in Discourse?
You can filter and customize your Zap to monitor specific tags in Discourse. Set 'New Topic' in Discourse as the trigger, filter by tag, then use 'Send Channel Message' in Discord to alert your members when posts with those tags are created.
What if I want all messages from a particular Discord channel to appear on my Discourse site?
Set up an integration where the trigger is 'New Message Posted in Channel' on Discord. For each message that passes through this filter, use the action 'Create Post' on your desired Discourse site. This ensures each message appears on your forum automatically.
Can I restrict the integration to only work with certain users or roles within my Discord server?
Currently, our platform does not support restricting integrations by user roles or specific users directly. All triggers are based on events at the server or channel level regardless of user permissions.
How often does the integration check for new data between Discord and Discourse?
Most zaps, including those between Discord and Discourse, check for new data every 5-15 minutes depending on your account type and settings you've chosen during configuration.
Are there limitations on how much data can be synced between Discord and Discourse using integrations?
The primary limitations come from rate limits set by both APIs. We recommend reviewing both platforms’ API documentation to understand these constraints fully before setting up high-frequency data sync zaps.
