Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect Discourse and Planable?

Sign up for a free viaSocket account, then authorize both your Discourse and Planable accounts. From there, pick a trigger in one app and an action in the other. Your first workflow can be live in under five minutes.

Does this integration work in real time?

Yes. viaSocket uses instant triggers where available, so data moves between Discourse and Planable as soon as the event happens. Scheduled polling triggers run at a maximum interval of 15 minutes.

Can I control which data gets sent from Discourse to Planable?

Yes. You can map specific fields, apply filters to skip records that do not match your conditions, and transform values before they reach Planable. No coding required.

Can the integration run in both directions?

Yes. You can set up a workflow where Discourse triggers actions in Planable, and a separate workflow where Planable triggers actions in Discourse. Both run independently and in real time.

What happens if a step in the workflow fails?

viaSocket logs every run so you can see exactly what succeeded and what failed. Failed tasks can be retried from the dashboard without re-configuring the workflow.

Is viaSocket free to use?

Yes, there is a free plan that covers basic workflows between Discourse and Planable. Paid plans unlock higher task limits, faster polling, and advanced features like multi-step workflows and conditional logic.

Do I need to know how to code to set this up?

No. The entire Discourse and Planable integration is built through a visual, point-and-click interface. Code blocks are available if you want them, but they are never required.
