Can I upload the same list again?

Yes. A CSV upload skips anyone who already holds an active award of that badge, so you can keep one growing list and upload it again each week. A file can have up to 1,000 rows. A larger file is refused whole. A student whose award you revoked is issued a new one if they are still in the file.

Does the student need an account?

No. The student gets an email with a link to a public badge page. From there they can verify the badge, download it, and open LinkedIn's add-to-profile form.

What happens when I reach the yearly limit?

New badges cannot be issued until you move to a larger plan or the next calendar year begins. Badges already issued stay valid. The 100-badge free allowance counts badges issued, not students, and starts again on January 1.

Can the awards be automated at all?

Only on the Enterprise plan ($249 a month, or $2,388 billed yearly). It has a REST API and webhooks, and using them means writing code. On every other plan, issuing is the upload described above.

Digital badges for an online course

Each student you list gets a badge page they can add to their LinkedIn profile, with your organization named as the issuer.

Incredify does not connect to any course platform, and there is no Zapier app. Nothing is awarded automatically when a student finishes. You export a list of finishers and upload it.

A free account covers 100 badges per calendar year. It needs no card and is not a time-limited trial. Past that, Starter covers 2,500 a year for $276 billed yearly. Badge links and emails are on incredify.net, in Incredify's design, and name your organization.

What your student gets

One email from credentials@incredify.net. The subject and body name your organization and the badge.
A link in that email to a public badge page. It shows the badge, your organization as the issuer, the issue date, and the student's name if you entered one.
A Verify button, downloads of the badge image and data, and a button that opens LinkedIn's add-to-profile form.
No account to create. The link is all they need.

The email is a checkbox when you issue, and it is on by default.

From finished to badge sent

1Make one badge for each course. Design the artwork in the built-in designer from a template, or upload a square PNG under 4 MB.
2Export your finishers from wherever you keep them. Make a CSV with an email column. Add a name column if you want names on the badge pages.
3Open the badge and go to the Bulk (CSV) tab. Choose your file. A preview comes first and issues nothing.
4Read the preview, then confirm. Each student gets an email with a link to their badge. Leave the email checkbox on, as it is by default, if you want them told.
5Next week, add the new finishers to the same list and upload it again. Anyone who already holds an active award of that badge is skipped. A student whose award you revoked is issued a new one if they are still in the file, so take them out of the list. The Badges page shows how much of your yearly allowance you have used.

A file can have up to 1,000 rows, counting rows with errors; a larger file is refused whole. If an upload would pass your yearly limit, it issues rows up to the limit and stops, and reports the rest as not attempted. With more than one course, upload each course's finishers to that course's badge. You can also type up to 25 addresses by hand. CSV columns in the help center

Issue a badge to yourself first, to see the email and the page. It counts toward your allowance. An admin can revoke a badge later, and its page then shows Revoked.

Can it be automated?

Not on most plans. There is no Zapier app and no course-platform connection. The REST API and webhooks are on the Enterprise plan only ($249 a month, or $2,388 billed yearly), and using them means writing code. On every other plan, issuing is the upload described above.

What it costs at your size

At 200 to 1,500 finishers a year, the Free plan (100) is too small and Starter (2,500 a year, $276 billed yearly) covers you. The limit counts badges issued, not students. It follows the calendar year and starts again on January 1. A test award to yourself counts, and so does a revoked badge. There are no per-badge fees. Prices are in US dollars.

Your brand, and what stays Incredify's

Yours

The badge artwork: designed in the built-in designer from templates, or a square PNG you upload.
Your organization's name as the issuer, in the email and on the badge page.
A public organization page.

Incredify's

The badge link is on incredify.net. There is no custom domain.
The email comes from credentials@incredify.net, in Incredify's design. Its wording cannot be edited.
The layout of the badge page, and a "Powered by Incredify" footer.
A reply to the award email goes to hello@incredify.net, not to you. The email tells students to contact you directly if they were not expecting it.

If you sign up with a Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook or similar address, your domain cannot be confirmed. Then every badge page carries the line “This organization has not confirmed an email domain with Incredify”, and you cannot upload an organization logo. With an email address at your own domain, it is confirmed when you sign up. A logo you put on the badge artwork is not affected.

What it does not do

No PDF certificate.
The student's name is not printed on the badge image. The image is one design shared by everyone who earns it.
You cannot set an expiry date.
Badge pages are public to anyone with the link. They show the student's name if you entered one. Leave the name out to issue without one.
Once a badge has been awarded, its name, description, criteria and skills are locked. Duplicate it and edit the copy. An admin can still replace the graphic.
Incredify has no SOC 2 report and is not 1EdTech certified.
Incredify has not published terms of service yet.
