Discourse automation plugin install

[robe]

I was liking this autotagging of email comming thru trac, but it's somewhat limited in that it can't do retroactive so for example if write a response, it won't tag.

I discovered this plugin Discourse-Automation which seems to allow to do such things and other useful things

One the cool options I see there is:

Auto Responder :black_small_square:Post edited/created :black_small_square:PM created Given a series of keywords and associated replies, automatically respond with the corresponding reply

Which maybe we could use for mantra even.

I'm going to install on staging to test out it's capabilities.

I installed in ​https://discourse.staging.osgeo.org but haven't explored it

Accessible from ​https://discourse.staging.osgeo.org/admin/plugins/discourse-automation

at first glance the auto tag feature doesn't seem to allow me to specify search on certain words so may not be usable for my initial use case.

more details here creating custom automation. Might still be a new thing.

I see the Data Explorer plugin ships with its own that show as an option via this plugin.

So at the very least this automation can be used to schedule custom reports without any coding beyond the SQL to write the data explorer reports.
