I was wondering if there is any plugin available to create a new topic via email.
I’m using a contact form which I would also like to use to auto-create a topic containing the same information which was sent to me by email.

So I thought about connecting the email-account to bbpress, so anything is posted automatically to bbbpress as well.

Hi,

Hi,

The solutions mentioned in the shared URL is related to reply on a topic/post via email instead of creating a new topic/post.

We have checked this but it does not seems a complete solution to create a bbpress topic via email. Can you please help us out how a topic can be created using postmark email API?

On the bbPress side, you’ll probably want to use bbp_insert_topic(). Usage is near-identical to wp_insert_post() – see here if you’re unfamiliar with this:

wp_insert_post()

I’ll leave interaction with the Postmark API for you to figure out 😉
