Sometimes you want to skip the whole “complete challenges to earn rewards” dance and just shower your community with gifts. That’s where Gift Rewards comes in - the admin equivalent of making it rain.
Perfect for: Welcome packages, event appreciation, milestone celebrations, and those “sorry our servers were down” moments.

​
Gift Rewards: The Generous Admin

Sometimes the most powerful rewards aren’t earned through challenges—they’re given directly to recognize exceptional contributions, celebrate milestones, or surprise deserving community members.

​
How It Works

1

Pick Your Recipients

Gift Rewards User Selection Interface
Search and select users manually, or use the upcoming CSV upload feature for bulk gifting (because who has time to click 500 individual users?).
2

Choose Your Gifts

Gift Rewards Distribution Configuration
Mix and match XP, points, and reward assets. Want to give everyone 100 XP, 250 points, AND a “Community Champion” badge? Go wild.

Hit Send

Review your generous gesture and confirm. Unlike that regrettable text you sent at 2 AM, this one actually makes people happy.

​
Quick Access

Navigate to Admin Panel → Engagement → Rewards → Gift Rewards button. You’ll need a community selected first - the feature won’t let you accidentally gift rewards to the entire internet.

Key Considerations

The most impactful gifts come with personal messages that specifically acknowledge what the recipient did to earn recognition.
