O que o webhook do Teachable pode fazer?

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:

  • You’ll need to create a category with the same name as your course;
  • don’t forget to edit the welcome topic for the category!
  • then you’ll need to create a group with the same (full) name as your course
  • go to the category security permissions and add that group with create/reply/see permissions (and you will probably want to remove the permissions for the ‘everyone’ group).

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.

Alguém teve sucesso ao encontrar uma solução para o problema de SSO entre Teachable e Discourse ou uma maneira de registrar usuários automaticamente?

A solução da Communiteq (antiga DiscourseHosting) parece funcionar, mas eu já estou hospedado em outro lugar. Qualquer ajuda é apreciada.

Na verdade, funciona muito bem e também faz a incorporação.
Podemos ajudar você a migrar :slight_smile:

:grin: Vou conversar com a equipe e considerar isso. Para esclarecer: este plugin apenas cadastra e convida usuários, ou mantém os usuários logados quando o fórum é incorporado?

Ele não mantém os usuários logados (não mais do que o Discourse já faz). Infelizmente, o Teachable não oferece suporte a isso.

O plugin também atribui os usuários a um grupo correspondente a um curso específico, permitindo que você tenha categorias diferentes para cursos diferentes.

Existe alguma maneira de usar este webhook e ADICIONAR APENAS pessoas a um grupo? Temos pessoas de diferentes cursos que queremos na mesma Categoria.

Queremos usar este webhook para adicionar pessoas a grupos e a partir daí cuidaremos do resto.

Há alguma maneira de fazer isso??
