Overview

The Crowd.dev Node for n8n allows you to interact with the Crowd.dev platform, specifically to create new organizations. This node is useful in scenarios where you want to automate the onboarding of organizations into your Crowd.dev workspace, such as syncing data from other CRMs, registering new partners, or integrating with signup forms.

Practical examples:

Automatically add a new organization to Crowd.dev when a company signs up on your website.
Sync organizations from another database or CRM into Crowd.dev.
Batch import organizations and their members via workflow automation.

Properties

Name	Type	Meaning
Name	String	The name of the organization. (Required)
Url	String	The URL of the organization.
Description	String (multi-line)	A short description of the organization.
Logo	String	A URL pointing to the organization's logo.
Employees	Number	The number of employees in the organization.
Members	Collection (Array of Strings)	List of member IDs associated with the organization. Each entry is a member ID.

Output

The node returns a JSON object representing the created organization. The exact structure depends on the response from the Crowd.dev API, but typically includes fields such as the organization's ID, name, URL, description, logo, employee count, and associated members.

If the API call does not return any data, the output will be:

{
  "result": "success"
}

If multiple items are returned (rare for a create operation), each will be output as a separate item.
