Hello! First time poster, please notify me if I’m breaking any convention in my question :grin: My team is currently using Nolt for our product’s user feedback and feature requests. We would like to create a thread on our Discourse community where, whenever new feedback is posted on our Nolt board, it automatically writes a new comment on that thread as well. Currently, Nolt has a webhooks feature that I think we could use to make this happen, but I’m not sure where to go from there. Am I meant to POST that data to the Discourse API via a bot hosted on Heroku, for example? I’d like to know if there are any core resources to building something like this because I’m lost as to where to start. Our Discourse community is self-hosted, if that helps.

You will need something to receive the Nolt webhook, massage the data, and execute a Discourse API call. A lot of people use Zapier and similar tool for doing that, but you can also use a serverless service, or a bot on Heroku as you said. The docs on creating new posts on Discourse via API calls live at Discourse API Docs

I did check out Zapier and was considering it as an option, I do find troubleshooting to be really frustrating with it sometimes though. Do you by any chance have any specific recommendations for the serverless services you mentioned? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of any. The link to the API Docs is very helpful! I was looking for it. Thanks for the response :grin:

The other solution if you can install plugins, is a plugin that will accept the webhook calls from nolt directly. It’s probably not much harder to do and won’t have to have another service involved.

If you need help and have a budget, you can contact me or ask in #marketplace. If you’re looking for examples, what I recommend is getting the all-the-plugins repo from github/discourse and find one that adds a route.

I think we’re able to. That sounds like a great option - would love to keep things within Discourse Thanks for the info!
