How do I award my players badges?
Badges on Rise allow you to award badges based on performance either in terms of rank or scores to your players. For every release, when a player meets a badge criterion, an email notification (from Credly) is sent to the player awarding them the badge. These badges can then be highlighted on many different social media network profiles such as Rise, LinkedIn and shared on social network streams such as Facebook and Twitter.
You can also award badges manually by sending them in bulk via the Badges menu, found under the Releases menu.
Badges can be awarded for:
- achieving a certain rank on a leaderboard
- achieving a certain score on a leaderboard
- achieving a certain score on any metric on a leaderboard
To send out badges to your players via email you will need to:
- Create a Credly account.
- Create a badge on Credly
- Add the badge to your leaderboard and set the eligibility criteria
- Decide whether to send the badge automatically with each release or manually
To send out badges to your players via twitter you will need to:
- Create a Credly account.
- Create a badge on Credly
- Set the badge as claimable by anyone with a claim code
- Add the badge to your leaderboard and set the eligibility distribution criteria
- Preview and tweet out the badge claim code to your players [note that you cannot send bulk tweets to players automatically as per twitter rules]
