Powerful Integrations for Your Forum

We're excited to announce a comprehensive suite of native integrations that connect your Foru.ms forum to the tools and platforms you already use. Whether you're looking to automate workflows, sync data to your CRM, or notify your team in real-time, these integrations make it easy to build a connected community ecosystem.

What's New

Real-Time Webhooks

Webhooks allow you to receive instant notifications when events occur in your forum. Perfect for:

  • AI-powered moderation: Automatically analyze new posts with your own AI models
  • Custom analytics: Track engagement metrics in your data warehouse
  • Automated workflows: Trigger actions in other systems when threads are created
  • Content distribution: Automatically share popular threads to social media

Available webhook events include:

  • thread.created, thread.updated, thread.deleted
  • post.created, post.updated, post.deleted
  • user.registered, user.updated

All webhooks include HMAC signature verification for security, ensuring that requests are genuinely from Foru.ms.

Slack & Discord Integration

Keep your team in the loop with native Slack and Discord integrations. Get instant notifications in your team channels for:

  • New threads and replies
  • Moderation alerts
  • User registrations
  • Custom events based on tags or keywords

Perfect for community managers who want to stay connected without constantly checking the forum dashboard.

CRM Sync (Salesforce & HubSpot)

Turn your forum into a powerful lead generation and customer engagement tool by syncing user data to your CRM:

  • Salesforce Integration: Automatically create or update contacts when users register or engage
  • HubSpot Integration: Track forum activity as custom events in HubSpot timelines
  • Bidirectional sync: Keep customer data consistent across platforms

Ideal for B2B companies using forums for customer support, product feedback, or community building.

Single Sign-On (SSO)

Simplify authentication with enterprise SSO providers:

  • Okta: Enterprise-grade identity management
  • Auth0: Flexible authentication for any application

SSO makes it easy for your users to access the forum with their existing credentials, reducing friction and improving security.

Why Integrations Matter

Modern communities don't exist in isolation. Your forum is part of a larger ecosystem of tools and platforms. Native integrations allow you to:

  1. Automate repetitive tasks: Let webhooks handle routine notifications and data syncing
  2. Centralize your workflow: Manage everything from your existing tools (Slack, CRM, etc.)
  3. Improve response times: Get instant alerts when important events occur
  4. Make data-driven decisions: Sync forum data to your analytics platform
  5. Enhance security: Use enterprise SSO for better access control
