How it works

• Each time a new member is created in Discourse, the workflow runs (powered by Discourse's native Webhooks feature).
• After filtering out popular private email accounts, we run the member's email through Clearbit to fetch available information on the member as well as their organization.
• If the enriched data meets certain criteria, we send a Slack message to a channel. This message has a few quick actions: Open LinkedIn profile and Email member
