About crowd.dev
crowd.dev is an open-source community intelligence platform that pulls activity data from developer and user communities across platforms like GitHub, Discord, Slack, Twitter, LinkedIn, Stack Overflow, and forums into a single unified view. It identifies community members, tracks their engagement across channels, and scores them based on activity — giving you a clear picture of who your most active contributors, potential champions, and at-risk members are.
For companies that rely on community-led growth — SaaS products with developer communities, open-source projects, or platforms with active user forums — understanding community health is critical but difficult when activity is spread across a dozen platforms. crowd.dev consolidates all of that into one place with identity resolution, so ‘jsmith’ on GitHub, ‘John S.’ on Discord, and ‘[email protected]’ in your CRM are recognised as the same person.
The n8n crowd.dev node lets you automate actions based on community data. You can build workflows that notify your team in Slack when a high-value community member opens their first GitHub issue, automatically add active contributors to your CRM as leads, trigger personalised outreach when someone’s engagement drops off, or generate weekly community health reports with member counts and engagement trends.
If you are looking to build automated workflows around your community data, our system integration services can help you connect crowd.dev with your CRM, marketing tools, and internal communication platforms to turn community signals into business actions.

How it works
We work hand-in-hand with you to implement crowd.dev
As crowd.dev consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate crowd.dev with integrate and automate 800+ tools.
Step 1
Connect your community platforms to crowd.dev
Set up crowd.dev (self-hosted via Docker or using their cloud service) and connect your community platforms. Add integrations for GitHub, Discord, Slack, Twitter, and any other platforms where your community is active. crowd.dev will begin syncing historical activity and building member profiles with identity resolution across platforms.
Step 2
Configure crowd.dev credentials in n8n
In n8n, create a crowd.dev API credential using your API key from the crowd.dev dashboard. If you are self-hosting, set the base URL to your crowd.dev instance. Test the connection by fetching a list of members to confirm n8n can communicate with your crowd.dev installation.
Step 3
Identify the community signals that matter
Decide which community activities should trigger automated actions. Common signals include: a new member joining (trigger onboarding), a member’s engagement dropping (trigger re-engagement outreach), a member crossing an activity threshold (add to CRM as a qualified lead), or a new organisation being detected (notify the sales team).
Step 4
Build trigger-based workflows
Create n8n workflows that act on your chosen signals. Use the crowd.dev node to poll for new activities or members on a schedule. Add conditional logic to filter for the specific signals you care about — for example, only trigger for members who have been active in the last 30 days and have contributed to more than one platform.
Step 5
Connect to your action systems
Add destination nodes for the actions you want to take. This might include creating or updating contacts in HubSpot or Salesforce, posting notifications to a Slack channel, sending personalised emails through your email platform, or adding members to specific segments or lists. Map crowd.dev member fields to the appropriate fields in each destination system.
Step 6
Build a community health dashboard
Create a scheduled workflow that runs weekly and pulls aggregate community metrics from crowd.dev — total members, new members this week, most active members, engagement trends, and top organisations. Format this data into a report and deliver it via Slack or email to your community team. This gives leadership ongoing visibility into community health without manual reporting.
