Integrating an achievement with Credly will automatically issue the Credly badge whenever the achievement is awarded on Riipen.

General

Prerequisites

Your portal must have the Credly portal integration configured. Please see our Credly portal integration documentation for details.

Issuing badge data

When an achievement is awarded on Riipen, the integrated Credly badge will automatically be issued with the following data:

  • Recipient email: the user's primary email who was awarded the achievement

  • Issued at: the timestamp when the achievement was awarded

  • Issued to first name: the user's first name who was awarded the achievement

  • Issued to last name: the user's last name who was awarded the achievement

Additional badge data

When an achievement is awarded on Riipen, additional information an be passed from Riipen to Credly as support evidence.

  • User evidence - when enabled, will additionally send user's name and link to their Riipen profile

  • Company evidence - when enabled, will additionally send the associated company's name and link to their Riipen profile

  • Project evidence - when enabled, will additionally send the associated project's name and link to it on Riipen

  • Portal evidence - when enabled, will additionally send the associated portal's name and link to it on Riipen

Each additional piece of evidence can be further configured with:

  • A static name override

  • A static description override

If associated data is not applicable to the particular achievement, then the evidence is not sent. For example, if Project evidence is configured to be sent, but the achievement in question does not involve a project, then no evidence is sent when the Credly badge is issued.
