You can send a message to a webhook you’ve made for a given channel. There is a section of the Chat topic that covers it: Discourse Chat Any kind of hosted services platform (such as make.com) will be able to generate a webhook, use that to send a message to the webhook you’ve created on your Discourse site. :+1:
