Hello! First time poster, please notify me if I’m breaking any convention in my question 😁
My team is currently using [Nolt](https://nolt.io/) 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](https://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Posts/operation/createTopicPostPM)

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 😁

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.

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

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.
