🔎 Achievement & Competition Overview

In Engagement Studio, you’ll see all your achievements and competitions organized into three tabs:

✔️ Draft – Still being worked on, not visible to members. ✍️

✔️ Archived – No longer active, but visible for those who completed or participated. 📜

🎨 Creating Achievements

1. Open Engagement Studio and click Create
2. Select Engagement type Achievement
3. Give your achievement a clear name (max 24 characters) and a short description (max 250 characters) to explain the reward or goal to members.

💡 You can also add translations for other languages if needed.

4. Add Visuals: Choose how the achievement will appear on members’ profiles. You can:

• Select an icon or upload image to represent the achievement.
• Choose a shape and color to make it visually distinct and easy to recognize.

5. Choose the Participation Criteria and specify how members can earn this achievement. You can set these triggers:

📊 Tracking Achievements

• 🏅 In Progress – They’re on their way to earning or qualifying.
• ❌ Failed – They didn’t meet the set criteria.
• ✅ Achieved / Won – They completed it successfully! 🎉

Members also receive notifications when they complete an achievement or win a competition.

🎯 Checking Results & Assigning Rewards

How to check results?

• Open the active or archived achievement or competition and go to the Results section.
• Use search & filters to track who’s in progress, who earned it, and who didn’t meet the criteria.

👥 Personalized Rewards? Follow up with manual reward assignments—either individually or in bulk.

🎁 Giving members Personalized rewards

If you’ve set up a Personalized Reward, you’ll need to manually assign it to members after they’ve earned an achievement or won a competition. 🏆

Where to Check?

In Engagement Studio, go to the Results tab of the achievement or competition. You’ll see how many members have completed/won and how many still need their reward.

Manually assign rewards

2. Click Attach next to the member’s name.
3. Enter the reward (message, code, certificate link, etc.).
4. The reward is delivered instantly, and the member receives a notification. 🔔

💡 Manual assignment works well for one-off or unique gifts, such as certificates or personalized vouchers.

Bulk upload rewards

1. Click Batch Upload 📁.

   

2. Download the .csv file of members who haven’t received rewards.
3. Fill in the reward details for each member.
4. Upload the updated file.
