For some launch methods there is also an option with the “passive_” prefix.
The difference between passive and standard methods is the part of UI the user has launched the game from. The non-passive option is a notification, recommendation, etc. that pops up regardless of the user’s actions, whereas the passive one is the case when the element is not specially marked for the user and is launched in the standard way.
For example:
passive_friend_suggest 
friend_suggest
