Overview

The Crowd.dev Node for n8n enables interaction with the Crowd.dev platform, specifically targeting the "Member" resource. The Find operation allows users to retrieve information about a specific member by their ID. This node is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch details of a community member from Crowd.dev, such as enriching user profiles, automating onboarding workflows, or integrating member data into other systems.

Example use cases:

  • Automatically fetching member details when a new event occurs.
  • Enriching CRM records with up-to-date member information from Crowd.dev.
  • Building dashboards that display member data retrieved via n8n.

Properties

Name Type Meaning
ID String The ID of the member to find in Crowd.dev.

Output

The output will be a JSON object containing the details of the found member. The exact structure depends on the Crowd.dev API response for a member lookup. If the operation is successful, the output will include the member's data fields (such as name, email, etc., as provided by Crowd.dev).

If no data is returned, the output will be:

{
  "result": "success"
}

If multiple items are returned (unlikely for a single ID), each item will be output as a separate JSON object.

Dependencies

  • External Service: Requires access to the Crowd.dev API.
  • Credentials: You must configure the crowdApi credential in n8n for authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or Invalid ID: If the provided ID does not exist, the node may return an empty result or an error from the Crowd.dev API.
  • Authentication Errors: If the crowdApi credentials are missing or invalid, the node will fail to connect to Crowd.dev.
  • API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may trigger rate limiting on the Crowd.dev side.
  • Error Handling: If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the error will be included in the output under the error field; otherwise, the workflow will stop and display the error message.

Common error messages:

  • Invalid credentials: Check your crowdApi configuration.
  • Member not found: Verify the ID is correct and exists in Crowd.dev.
  • Network error or Timeout: Ensure network connectivity and Crowd.dev API availability.
