Automation Rules

[Basenotes]

Can we have some sort of automation rules that we could make somewhere in admin.

There could be a bunch of triggers you can choose from and a bunch of actions (like IFTTT or Zapier)

Examples

• if thread has prefix X and is older than Y days then move to forum Z
• if thread has not been replied to for 2 years then post a message to the thread and lock the thread.

I’m sure there could be lots of uses

So take the Batch Update feature, make one that you save and run via cronjob?

Yeah basically that.

Also would be good to include a webhook payload reader, as something that can be automated:

• If a member signs up to your Patreon with a matching email address, move them to a Patreon usergroup
• If a bug report if closed on Github, then the corresponding thread is closed on the forum
• etc
