Example Use Cases#
Community Engagement Tracker: Build a workflow that monitors community contributions across platforms. Whenever a new issue is created or a pull request is merged, trigger an automated thank-you message via Discord or Slack to the contributor, fostering a positive and engaging community.
Weekly Digest Generator: Construct a workflow that compiles a weekly digest of community activity, including new issues, pull requests, and active discussions. Use the data gathered from Crowd.dev to generate a markdown report and automatically email it to the development team using a service like SendGrid or Mailgun.
Contributor Recognition System: Develop a system that uses Crowd.dev to track contributions and identify top contributors each month. Set up a workflow to send personalized rewards such as digital gift cards or swag through an integration with fulfillment services or via a custom webhook to your merchandising system.
