Integration
Connect Discourse and RunSignup
When New Post fires in Discourse, your agent runs Get Participant Counts for a Race (All Events) in RunSignup, or New Donation in RunSignup to Create Post in Discourse. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
Build solutions, not workarounds.
What do you want Discourse and RunSignup to do together?
Ask the assistant
Connect your AI client
Give your AI client this address.
https://mcp.apiant.aiOne connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser.

Questions
Discourse and RunSignup, answered
What can start an automation from Discourse?
Any of Discourse's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New Post and New Topic. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in RunSignup when something happens in Discourse?
Any of RunSignup's 10 actions, including Find Fundraiser by ID, Get Participant Counts for a Race (All Events), Get Participant Counts for a Race (Single Event Only) and Get race. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from RunSignup to Discourse?
Yes. When something happens in RunSignup, your agent can act in Discourse too. This page covers both directions: RunSignup's triggers and Discourse's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Discourse or RunSignup?
No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running.
Can my AI client use Discourse and RunSignup without building an automation?
Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both.
What happens when something fails?
Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
