Issuing Badges via AutoBadges

Use Autobadges in Navigatr to issue badges automatically when members meet skill rules. Set up criteria once and let badges flow to recipients.

Written by Support Desk

AutoBadges issue badges automatically to community members who meet predefined tag-based rules. This method eliminates manual steps, ensuring that badges are issued promptly and consistently.


What are AutoBadges?

AutoBadges work by matching predefined tag rules against the tags a member has accumulated — whether those tags come from completing activities or from tags declared on their profile. Once a community member satisfies the rules, the badge is issued automatically and added to their profile. AutoBadges are particularly useful for recognising achievements at scale and simplify the process for communities, helping admins automate recognition and engagement.

Key benefits

  • Automation: Badges are issued without manual intervention.

  • Consistency: Ensures badges are issued based on clear, standardised criteria.

  • Scalability: Ideal for larger communities with extensive member bases.

Important notes

  • Preview qualified users: Use the Preview section to see how many members currently meet the tag rules and will be issued the badge.

  • Badge dependency: AutoBadges rely on published badges. Make sure your badge is created and published before linking it to an AutoBadge.

  • Automatic issuance: Badges issued via AutoBadges are automatically claimed and added to the member’s profile. No additional steps are required from the recipient.

  • Tracking: Use the AutoBadge dashboard to monitor the number of times each AutoBadge has been triggered and the last issuance date.
