FAQ

Questions about Gmail + Discourse.

How long does it take to connect Gmail and Discourse on Tiny Command?

Under two minutes. Authorize Gmail and Discourse once each, drop the Gmail trigger and Discourse action onto a workflow canvas, map a couple of fields, and publish. No code, no glue.

Is the Gmail ↔ Discourse integration real-time?

Yes. Both Gmail and Discourse expose webhooks, so events from one fire workflows in the other within seconds rather than on a polling interval.

Can I filter or transform data between Gmail and Discourse?

Yes. Add a Filter node to only pass through matching events, a Switch node to branch by value, or an AI / Code node to transform payloads before they hit Discourse.

What Gmail events can trigger a Discourse workflow?

Any of the 1 Gmail triggers, including "New Email". Each fires in real time when the matching event happens in Gmail.

Do I need a paid plan to use Gmail with Discourse?

No. There's a free tier that covers most Gmail+Discourse use cases without a credit card. Paid plans unlock higher run volumes and team features when you outgrow it.

What if I want Discourse → Gmail instead?

Build it the same way, in reverse. There's a dedicated /integrations/discourse/with/google-gmail page with the reverse-direction triggers and actions.
