Platform actions use your community’s native features—comments, likes, achievements, games—as challenge actions. They feel natural because they are natural. Users aren’t being redirected to take unusual actions; they’re just doing what they’d do anyway, and you’re rewarding them for it.

Clear Instructions

Provide specific, actionable guidance for each platform action

Immediate Feedback

Error Handling

Gracefully handle failed actions with helpful recovery options
Community Health
  • Quality Over Quantity: Encourage meaningful interactions rather than volume
  • Community Guidelines: Establish clear expectations for platform behavior
  • Recognition Systems: Celebrate users who contribute positively
  • Conflict Resolution: Provide tools for addressing negative interactions
Platform actions work best when they align with your community’s natural engagement patterns. Observe how users typically interact with your platform and design challenges that enhance rather than interrupt these behaviors.
Be mindful of over-gamifying essential platform functions. Users should feel that platform actions enhance their experience rather than manipulate their behavior.
Platform actions transform routine community interactions into meaningful challenge experiences, creating deeper engagement while strengthening your community ecosystem.
