Auto Post New Topics to Social Media

[MorphZan]

Hi Guys

Is there anyway that when a new topic is created it the link can be automatically posted to either Twitter, Facebook and/or Telegram

as @pfaffman stated - zapier is a good option and quite a few are using it now -

Trigger a Zapier task with Discourse Webhooks

Would it be possible to use native webhook functionality to push a webhook, have IFTTT listening for said hooks and make a social media post?

Would seem easy and free

This is a good way to get your social media account suspended, I had this happen to one of my Twitter accounts for a website (build on Wordpress) I was working on that had a plugin which auto posted new posts on Twitter. You could get away with this if the amount of new topics/posts where limited (the social media platform will decide on what it considers “a lot” of new auto posts).

As said in the discussion, you can do it with Zapier. I did it with Zapier, and it works fine, but I do not know how to send only topics to SM, and not answers to this topic.
