Wordpress Notification when you get Discourse Notification

Development

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around integrating Discourse notifications with a Wordpress site using the WP-Discourse Plugin. LKNickname is trying to achieve this, specifically with the Ultimate Member plugin, and is considering using webhooks. simon agrees that webhooks are the best approach and mentions that the WP Discourse plugin can handle webhook events, but currently lacks an action hook for other plugins to use this functionality. simon promises to add an action hook, but LKNickname, NiallG, and squarepants inquire about the status of this update.

I am currently trying to integrate Discourse within my existing Wordpress-Installation and so far it is working well (love the WP-Discourse Plugin and SSO btw.).

But right now I’m in a bit of a standstill…

I am using the Wordpress Plugin “Ultimate Member” for handling Social/Community-Interaction and Features on my Wordpress-Site.
However the forum is entirely realised through Discourse and I refuse to “Downgrade” on bbpress.
Nontheless I need to notify my users within Wordpress if something happens on their Discourse.

Ideally I want every notification that is send through discourse (New answer, badge etc.) to also pop-up in the Wordpress frontend.
I figured that I may have a chance using webhooks but I am lacking the best way of approchaing this in detail tbh.

Maybe some of you guys already have some experience in integrating Ultimate Member and/or Buddypress and are willing to help?

Would greatly appreciate that :slight_smile:

Yes, I think this is the best approach. I’ve been playing around with the idea today. It can be made to work for any events that Discourse sends a webhook for.

The WP Discourse plugin is setup to handle webhook events, but it doesn’t currently have an action that can be hooked into to let other plugins use this functionality. I will add an action hook for that this week.
