Gifts

Gifts allow users to recognise each other's accomplishments through virtual badges and points. They create a "thank you economy" based on peer-to-peer recognition, providing satisfaction to both the sender and recipient.

How gifts work​

Gifts consist of two main components:

  1. Gift badges - Visual representations that users can send to each other
  2. Messages - Words of encouragement or praise that accompany the gift (configured through gift activities)

Users can also transfer points as gifts if you've enabled this feature. When User A sends points to User B:

  • The specified number of points is deducted from User A's balance
  • The same number of points is added to User B's balance

Note: Points gifting affects all point-based mechanics including leaderboards, KPIs and levels.

Gift ideas and use cases​

Consider creating gifts that recognise specific behaviours or contributions. Here are some examples:

  • Team Player - For colleagues who collaborate exceptionally well
  • Mentoring Star - For those who help develop others
  • Well Done! - For celebrating accomplishments
  • Top Performer - For outstanding individual achievement
  • Thank You! - For expressing gratitude
  • Great Motivator - For those who inspire the team
  • Fantastic Leader - For demonstrating leadership qualities
  • Above and Beyond - For extraordinary effort
