crowd.dev's n8n node supports two types of triggers: New Activity and New Member.
This trigger is activated when a new activity happens in your community platforms connected to crowd.dev. For example, someone starred your repo, sent a message in Discord, etc.
You can make this trigger granular. For example, only activate it when someone opens a pull request on GitHub and mentions a specific keyword. On the other side of the spectrum, you can configure this trigger to be a "catch-all", but this setup is not recommended because it will be quite hard to distinguish between different events. So the recommended configuration is to keep this trigger as narrow as possible.
This trigger is activated when a new member joins your community platforms connected to crowd.dev. In crowd.dev, a member is considered anyone who performed at least one action at your community platforms - e.g., joined a Discord server or did something on GitHub (the trigger is activated only once for each user).
This trigger can be configured as a "catch-all" (all new member activities for all active platforms) or only for specific platforms.

- Create or update activity for a member - takes a member object and information about activity and creates or updates an activity for this member in crowd.dev
