How to Issue Badges via Autobadges

Modified on Wed, 18 Dec, 2024 at 1:18 PM

Autobadges offer a seamless way to issue badges automatically to community members who meet predefined skill requirements. This method eliminates manual steps, ensuring that badges are issued promptly and consistently.


What Are Autobadges?

Autobadges work by using predefined skill rules to determine who qualifies for a badge. Once a community member satisfies the set criteria, the badge is issued automatically and added to their profile. Autobadges are particularly useful for recognising achievements at scale.

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.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Log in to Navigatr
  2. Navigate to Automation
    • From the admin dashboard, go to Automation > Autobadges.
    • Note: If you don’t see this option in your dashboard, contact [email protected] to enable Autobadges for your community.
  3. Create or Edit an Autobadge
    • Click + NEW to create a new Autobadge, or select an existing Autobadge to edit.
  4. Define Skill Rules
    • Specify the skills and the required counts for each skill that a user must acquire to qualify for the badge.
  5. Select the Badge
    • Assign the badge that will be issued automatically when the skill criteria are met.
  6. Enable the Autobadge
    • Tick the Enable Autobadge option to set it to Running.
    • The system will now begin issuing the badge to members who meet the criteria.
  7. Preview Qualified Users
    • Use the Preview section to see how many members currently meet the skill requirements and will be issued the badge.

Important Notes

  • 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.

Why Use Autobadges?

Autobadges simplify the process of recognising achievements at scale. They’re particularly effective for communities with dynamic tagging frameworks, helping admins automate recognition and engagement.
