Improve your workflow, grow your community, or just make life a little easier. Looking for something not listed here? Anything you can do in Discourse you can also do with its API.
Discourse supports popular social login methods as well as local logins, custom OAuth2, and SAML. You can also integrate Discourse with your website as a single sign-on provider.

Set up rules to see new topics and replies from only the categories you’re interested in. You can even post chat transcripts directly from Slack to Discourse. Learn more about what Discourse can do with your chat provider.
