What are the latest Discourse topics?

Short answer: You can list latest topics in Discourse by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Discourse List Latest Topics action to a workflow, map its 0 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about List Latest Topics.

What does the List Latest Topics action do in Discourse?
Returns recent topics across the forum or filtered to a category. Useful for "what's active in our community this week" digests and for "any unanswered support topics?" maintenance workflows.
What inputs does List Latest Topics require?
List Latest Topics has no required inputs. Sensible defaults are applied if you leave fields blank.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Discourse returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does List Latest Topics support batch operations?
Yes. Run List Latest Topics inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles Discourse's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
