The easiest way to grant a badge based on activity that occurs outside of Discourse would be to create a custom badge on Discourse through the UI, and then grant the badge through the Discourse API. See [Grant a custom badge through the API](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-grant-a-custom-badge-through-the-api/103270) for details.
