Showcase Your Ranks and Badges

Heather Wendt

Hey everyone! So gamification (done well) can be such a critical driver of the behaviors you want to see in your community. But what does that look like?

I have shared the Gain Grow Retain Rank and Badge strategy in our Vanilla Community Manager Academy to get us started.

What campaigns are you running? What clever rank naming system did you use? How are you using Rank Permissions to reward engagement? Drop your screenshots and explanations in a comment! Let's create a strong repository of ideas to help spur each other on!

Our top 2 ranks each get auto-invited into their own private Rank Group when they achieve that rank, with a personalized Direct Message inviting them in and saying congrats (we used the API to configure this).

The private Groups are a great way to keep track of who is levelling up over time as well as send announcements + give rewards etc.
