Discourse Automation

[Eloïse_Barrège]

This group can’t be joined freely but as I’m admin, I can add anybody to this group.
The automation work only when I click manually on the button “Trigger now” (whereas it’s supposed to be automatic every 1 minute)

From the settings I can see on your screen I tried the exact same thing and it was called every minute as expected. Do you have anything in /logs ? Where does Discourse store and show logs?

[Eloïse_Barrège]

Nothing happens since 12:14 (it’s 12:30) whereas I just made 2 badges’ attributions, nothing happened. Nobody went to the dedicated group…

Can you give me the ID of your automation please? when you edit the automation it should be in the URL.

I suspect you have another automation which is preventing other automations to run. Sadly I can’t debug further without having access to the instance.

[Eloïse_Barrège]

The other automations are PM sent or adding to a group through custom field.

Would you like to be added as an admin for a while to try to debug it ?

I would like to automatically create a topic every day, but the title and content of the topic should contain things that change, such as the current date.

I can only see a merge tag for creator_username at the moment, are there any other tags available?

Without this, it just would create the exact same topic and title every day which is less than useful.

I’m using both the Discourse Automations Plugin and the Discourse AI Plugin, and I was wondering if it’s possible to have AI automatically reply to a new topic as soon as it’s created. I don’t want to rely on the @ mention trigger—just an automatic reply when the topic is posted.

Do you think this is something that can be set up? If not, is it something that could be added in a future update?

Thanks a lot! Looking forward to hearing from you.

I want a user to select something in the profile field and then be added to a suitable group depending on what he has selected

There is no option to set a group name. You create a dropdown field and the option the user chooses is the same as the group name.

Hi, this has been discussed here and is impossible at the moment:

Discourse Automation

Yes, as the scripts stand at the moment, it doesn’t seem possible to me to include members in a group according to the value of a user field, if this group name is not equal to one of the values of this user field, which poses a problem in a very simple case, if you have a user field which is a question by which the user answers yes or no, the corresponding group would therefore have to be named yes or no. If I understand correctly, this is not satisfactory. We should be able to choose the group…
