Discourse is $100 a month hosted. But it's also open source and therefore free to download and self host. It's because they have a comprehensive API that they can integrate it with Zapier, so it can create triggers and actions.




A lot of forums are businesses or a part of a business. Businesses operate these days using a plethora of digital tools, and the better they can all integrate with each other using tools like zapier then the faster they can grow, the cheaper they are to run and the easier they are to scale due to the ability to automate triggers and actions.


Forums are a great way for businesses to engage with their customers on their own terms outside of 'normal' social media channels, Zapier integration would enable customers to tightly integrate their community with their other business tools to add features, manage their community using additional 3rd party tools, and make it easier to make money.


If there was a solid Zapier add on with a load of useful triggers and actions, it would be like adding 1,000 new plugins the to resource manager in one.
