About the Discourse integration

When conversation happens in your Discourse community, you can reach members instantly over SMS. The forum creates rich discussion, but important updates and urgent notifications need to hit people where they're active - their phone. By connecting Discourse to Mobile Message through Zapier, you turn forum activity into direct SMS notifications without leaving either platform.

Community moderators use this to alert members about time-sensitive discussions, important announcements, or messages that need immediate attention. When a new post triggers an SMS, members see the alert, engage faster, and discussions move forward instead of getting buried in inboxes. The text arrives instantly, so members can act on time-sensitive topics before decisions are made without them. Your community stays connected and responsive, even when members aren't actively browsing the forum.

Discourse + SMS: common questions

How can I send SMS when someone posts in Discourse?

Set up a Zap triggered by New Post and choose Send SMS as the Mobile Message action. You can filter by category or other post details, so only certain posts trigger the SMS.

Can I add Discourse users to my Mobile Message contact list?

Yes. When a new post is created, use the Create Contact action to add the poster to your contacts, then set up another Zap to add them to lists or send messages.

What's the easiest way to get started linking Discourse and Mobile Message?

In Zapier, connect both your Discourse and Mobile Message accounts, choose your Discourse trigger, pick your Mobile Message action, and map the fields. No technical skills needed.
