Managing Badge Recipients

Manage badge recipients in Navigatr: see what each badge status means, revoke, fix failed deliveries, resend, and export from the Recipients tab.

Written by Support Desk

The Recipients tab on any badge shows you everyone who has been issued that badge, their current status, and the actions available for each person. This is where you track progress, fix delivery problems, and manage records.


Finding the recipients tab

In your admin dashboard, go to Content > Badges. Select the badge you want to review. On the badge detail page, click the Recipients tab.

What you can see

The Recipients table has seven columns:

  • Recipient: The earner's name and profile picture.

  • Email: Their email address. Click it to copy.

  • Status: Where the badge is in the process. See below for what each status means.

  • Issue Date: When the badge was issued.

  • Issued By: The provider or organisation that issued it.

  • Issue Method: How the badge was issued. See the list below for what each value means.

  • Actions: The available actions depend on the recipient's current status.

Use the search box above the table to find a specific person. You can search by name, email address, or any other visible detail.

The Status column can show any of the following:

  • Pending: The badge has been issued but the recipient has not signed up to claim it yet. Ask them to click Claim in their email and create an account.

  • Claimed: The recipient has claimed the badge. It now appears on their profile.

  • Revoked: The badge has been revoked, usually because it was issued in error.

  • Failed: The claim email could not be delivered. Check the recipient's email address is correct, then update it and reissue if needed.

  • Complained: The recipient marked the claim email as spam. It helps to let recipients know in advance to expect an email from Navigatr and to check their spam folder.

  • Expired: The badge has passed its end date and no longer verifies as valid. For imported badges, Navigatr also re-checks the original issuer's expiry.

  • Deleted: The badge record has been deleted by an admin and is no longer available to the recipient.

The Issue Method column can show any of the following values:

  • Email: Issued by entering the recipient's email address.

  • Activity: Awarded automatically when the recipient completed a linked activity.

  • Autobadge: Awarded automatically by an Autobadge rule.

  • Bulk: Issued via CSV upload to a list of recipients.

  • API: Issued by a system integration calling the Navigatr API.

  • Pushed: Pushed in from an external system.

  • Migrated: Transferred from another badge platform.

  • QR: Claimed by scanning a QR code.

  • Library Card: Claimed using a library card lookup.

  • Riddle: Awarded on completing a Riddle quiz.

  • Typeform: Awarded on submitting a Typeform.

  • Zoho Forms: Awarded on submitting a Zoho form.

  • Imported: Imported from a third-party badge wallet.

  • Pathway: Awarded automatically when the recipient completed a pathway.


Actions you can take

The actions available for each recipient depend on their status. Find the right one below.

Revoke a badge

Available for: Claimed recipients.

Use this when a badge was issued in error, or when the recipient is no longer entitled to hold it.

  1. Click the Revoke icon next to the recipient.

  2. Optionally, enter a reason. The recipient will receive a notification and the reason will appear on their record.

  3. Click Revoke to confirm.

The status changes to Revoked and the badge is removed from the recipient's profile.

Fix a failed delivery

Available for: Failed recipients.

A Failed status means the claim email could not be delivered. This is usually a typo in the email address. Use Amend and Retry to correct it and resend.

  1. Click the Amend and Retry icon next to the recipient.

  2. Enter the correct email address.

  3. Click Issue. The claim email is sent to the new address.

Resend a claim email

Available for: Pending recipients who haven't claimed their badge yet.

If a recipient says they never received their claim email, work through these steps in order:

  1. Ask them to check their inbox and spam folder for an email from Navigatr.

  2. If the address on the record is wrong, use Amend and Retry to send the email to the correct address (see above).

  3. If the address is correct and the email still hasn't arrived, contact [email protected] to ask for a resend to the same address.

Delete a badge record

Available for: Pending, Revoked, Failed, and Complained recipients.

Deleting a record removes it from the system entirely. The recipient is not notified. Use this to clear records that were issued in error and have not yet been claimed.

Important note: For badges that have already been claimed, revoke first rather than delete. Revoking notifies the recipient and removes the badge from their profile; deleting silently erases the record.

  1. Click the Delete icon next to the recipient.

  2. Click Delete to confirm.

View the public badge assertion

Available for: Claimed recipients.

Click the View Assertion icon next to a claimed recipient to open their public badge page. This shows exactly what anyone sees when the recipient shares their badge.


Export and copy

Two options are available below the recipients table.

  • Export as CSV: Downloads a spreadsheet with all recipients, including name, email address, status, issue date, and issuing provider. Use this for reporting, auditing, or sharing data with colleagues.

  • Copy email addresses: Copies all recipient email addresses to your clipboard in one click. Useful for sending follow-up communications outside Navigatr.

Tip: If you have any questions about managing your badge recipients, contact [email protected].
