## What the story says

ProjectDiscovery uses Common Room to unify identities and activity from its open-source community across GitHub, Discord and social channels into single profiles. It verifies Discord users, receives GitHub activity alerts in Slack, and identifies large organizations that may be fits for its enterprise product.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Common Room and ProjectDiscovery, not ours.

> Currently we have a workflow where users can only unlock the rest of the server after going through Discord verification through Common Room,” Pj said. “We were able to gather emails and connections to community members we didn’t know about before. To date, around 500 people have used the verification.

> The most valuable discovery that Common Room helped us make was understanding which large organizations have been using and are most engaged with our tools. They adopt us because we work for their needs and their workflows—and enterprises may be willing to pay for a premium version tailored to their organization. Common Room allows us to spot those opportunities and follow up accordingly.
