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:

No, I was answering @merefield’s question about RSS to topics.

@frold, if you follow @Stephen’s advice and let us know what you’ve done, we may be able to assist in a timely fashion.

Discourse Chat is still undergoing a lot of development and changes could still happen. Once the plugin has been released and stable, I’m sure the guides will be forthcoming. :slight_smile:

I’m still looking for a solution to automatically post content from an RSS feed to a chat channel. This way, the chat channel could work as a “news central” - instead of “spamming” the forum. The forum is not that active yet - so normal topics would get lost in the content if too many feeds were used for RSS Polling.
