Hi everyone, I’m new to Discourse: it looks fantastic. I want to create a forum for an online course I’m running on Teachable. Can I do something clever with the webhook to automatically register my students for the forum, or something like that? PS I’ve created webhooks before, with Zapier, but o…

If you want to have users from Teachable in Discourse, you’re best off just implementing single sign-on (SSO), which Discourse is very strong on. There are a variety of protocols for it, you’d need to dig into Teachable to see what it’s capable of.

We have a Teachable endpoint on a plugin available at our hosting, here is how to set it up: [image] Integrating Teachable with Discourse - Communiteq The integration consists of two steps; automatically inviting new Teachable registrants to join your Discourse forum (no additional forms …

@danielw I’m curious if you found a solution that works for you. I’m asking because I will have to do same thing soon…

Do you have a similar plugin for Thinkific?

No - we could develop one as a bespoke project. It would be a bit limited though since Thinkific lacks webhooks for some events, like customer cancellation. If you’re interested, please send me a PM.

We have now added support for the New Enrollment event, which can be set up in the same way as described on our site .

Has anyone had luck finding a solution to the teachable/discourse SSO issue or a way to auto-register users? Communiteq (formerly DiscourseHosting)'s solution sounds like it would work but I’m already hosted somewhere else. Any help is appreciated.

:grin: I’ll talk to the team and consider it. For clarification does this plugin just sign up and invite users or will it keep them signed in when the forum is embedded.

It does not keep the users logged in (not any more than Discourse already does). Teachable does not support that, unfortunately. The plugin also assigns users to a group corresponding to a specific course, so you can have different categories for different courses.

What can the Teachable webhook do?
