One of the best ways your users can showcase their skills, achievements, and expertise on a particular subject is through certifications and Credly is globally recognised as one of the leaders in securely storing your collection of certifications while still allowing you to show and share your accomplishments. However, the opposite side of this challenge is keeping your community in sync with the Credly library, which can often require manual updates that are time consuming and can lead to inconsistent results.

To overcome this, 3sides has developed a way of automatically syncronising your users Credly certifications with their Verint community profile, and automatically mirror the certifications as badges. This epowers them to speak with authority on any subject that Credly covers, whether it's about one of your products or the latest development language, you can be sure that if they have the badge they're an expert.

The Credly Certification to Badges Automation ensures that your members’ professional accomplishments are recognised and displayed within your community without extra effort from administrators.

This solution means community admins can:

• Set and forget: Configure the Credly certification provider and refresh schedule once, then keep badges up to date.

• Sync with the Credly API: Use a predefined list, or pull by your organisation, meaning new certifications are automatically included.

• Track new awardees: Identify members who have recently been awarded a certification since the last refresh.

• Assign profile badges automatically: Match certified users against community accounts and display the appropriate badge on their profiles.

• Celebrate success: Allow members to proudly showcase their certifications within the community environment.

Why it matters

Recognising achievements strengthens community culture and encourages engagement. This automation makes recognition simple by linking external certification success with internal community identity, saving you time by eliminating manual badge assignment, which ensures accuracy, builds trust amongst your users and acknowledges achievements and encourages valuable contributions.
