I have this SQL in the settings of a badge and it awards a badge to anyone that gets added to the `beta-testers` group:

```plaintext
SELECT u.id AS user_id, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP AS granted_at
FROM users u
INNER JOIN group_users gu ON gu.user_id = u.id
INNER JOIN groups g ON g.id = gu.group_id
WHERE g.name = 'beta-testers'

```

Can I modify that to also link the badge to a specific topic ID? 🤔
