AI-generated summary

To get the Reply by email badge, one must reply to an email notification from a Discourse site that has reply via email configured. Gavin asked for help, and Chaboi_3000 explained that replying to the email will post the response on the site. The process involves clicking the “reply” button in the email, typing a message, and sending it. Stephen added that the site handles email responses as if they were posted on the site. However, Stephen later clarified that the specific site Gavin was trying to reply to does not have reply via email configured, which is why it wasn’t working. To confirm if a site has reply via email, look for the “or reply to this email” text in the email notification.

You should get an email from getting a reply. Discourse lets you reply by email by replying to the email that you received from that particular reply.

I said you reply to the email. If you didn’t notice the button, that’s where you click:

Yes, it handles a response via email as if it was a response on the site.

By any chance could it be turned off for the site? I tried responding on a few different posts but it never worked

Looking at that site they don’t have reply via email configured. Apologies, you were misled earlier.

You can tell if a site is enabled for reply by email as it will say:

The “or reply to this email” is specific to mail-enabled discourse instances.
