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 overall I am a real beginner with them. I read the page about webhooks and creating a bot in git, but I didn’t really understand how to relate it to Teachable.
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:
@mpalmer Teachable is not-so-strong on SSO, so we currently use the Teachable webhooks to invite people over to Discourse.
@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.
The New Enrollment event does need some additional configuration on Discourse side:
When a user enrolls in your course, they will be added to the group (which will grant them access to the category), and invited to the welcome topic of the category.
You can use the New Enrollment webhook next to the New User webhook, but you can also choose to use the New Enrollment webhook only.
¿Alguien ha tenido éxito encontrando una solución al problema de SSO entre Teachable y Discourse o una forma de registrar usuarios automáticamente?
La solución de Communiteq (anteriormente DiscourseHosting) parece que funcionaría, pero ya estoy alojado en otro lugar. Cualquier ayuda será apreciada.
De hecho, funciona bastante bien y también hace la incrustación.
Podemos ayudarte a mudarte 
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.
¿Existe alguna forma de usar este webhook y SOLO agregar personas a un grupo? Tenemos personas de diferentes cursos que queremos incluir en la misma Categoría.
Queremos usar este webhook para agregar personas a grupos y nos encargaremos del resto.
¿Hay alguna manera de hacerlo??
