FEATURE: Add workflow whisper post creation (#41017)
Allow the workflows post node to create whisper replies when the author
has whisper permissions, and expose post_type in serialized results so
callers can identify whisper posts.

Fix the boolean expression configurator to preserve boolean values when
switching between plain and dynamic modes.

You can self-host Discourse on your own infrastructure. But if you'd rather skip the setup, maintenance, and server management, we offer official Discourse hosting.

👉 Learn more about Discourse hosting

Discourse is a 100% open-source community platform for those who want complete control over how and where their site is run.

Our platform has been battle-tested for over a decade and continues to evolve to meet users needs for a powerful community platform.

With Discourse, you can:

  • 💬 Create discussion topics to foster meaningful conversations.

  • Connect in real-time with built-in chat.

  • 🎨 Customize your experience with an ever-growing selection of official and community themes.

  • 🤖 Enhance your community with plugins, from chatbots powered by Discourse AI to advanced tools like SQL analysis with the Data Explorer plugin.

To learn more, visit discourse.org and join our support community at meta.discourse.org.

Here are just a few of the incredible communities using Discourse:
