Digital badges for conferences, workshops and webinars

From registration export to badges in three steps

1. 1Create one badge for the event, or one per session. Put the event name and date in the badge name and description, and write the criteria, for example what counted as attending. Design it in the browser, from a template or a blank canvas (the designer needs a screen at least 1,024 pixels wide).
2. 2Export your attendee list from your registration system as a CSV. Rename the address column to email. Add a name column if you want names on the badges. Other columns are ignored, and capitalisation in a header does not matter. One file can hold up to 1,000 rows; a longer list is split across several files.
3. 3Read the preview. Each row is marked ready, or says why it will be skipped. Nothing is sent until you confirm. You choose whether recipients are emailed.

For a handful of people, such as speakers, you can also award one person at a time or type up to 25 addresses at once. CSV columns in the help center

Badges are digitally signed and use the Open Badges 3.0 data model.

What attendees get

• An email from credentials@incredify.net that names your organization and the badge, with a link to a public badge page. Replies go to hello@incredify.net.
• No account to create. The link is all they need.
• An Add to LinkedIn option on the badge page.
• A Verify button. Anyone with the link can press it. It checks the issuer's signature, using the key Incredify publishes, and that the badge has not been revoked.

Hours, credits and expiry: what a badge can and cannot carry

• Hours and credits: there is no separate field. You can write them in the badge description or criteria, for example "Attended 6 hours of sessions". They are text, not a searchable field. Incredify makes no statement about whether any accrediting body accepts them.
• Expiry: you cannot set an expiry date on a badge today.
• Revoking: an organization admin can revoke a badge. Once the earlier award is revoked, the same badge can be issued to that person again.
• Duplicates: a person cannot hold the same badge twice at once. Re-uploading a file is safe, because anyone who already holds that badge is skipped, not issued twice.

Which plan for how many attendees

Limits count awards issued in a calendar year and reset on 1 January. Someone who attends two events and gets two badges counts as two awards.

No per-badge fees. Other than the yearly badge limit, the REST API, webhooks and single sign-on, the product features are the same on every plan, including Free. Paid plans start with a card from the dashboard, with no sales call. Annual plans can be invoiced on request. Request an invoice

Badges already issued stay valid and verifiable if you downgrade or cancel a paid plan.

Questions

Is a badge a certificate of attendance?

Incredify does not issue certificates, and a badge carries no accreditation. It is a digital record you word yourself: you write the name, description and criteria, so it can state the event, the date and what counted as attending. Whether anyone accepts it as proof of attendance is up to them. Each attendee gets a public badge page that anyone with the link can verify.

Can it show hours or CE credits?

Only as text. There is no separate field for contact hours, CEUs or credits. You can write them in the badge description or criteria, for example "Attended 6 hours of sessions". They are not a searchable field, and Incredify makes no statement about whether any accrediting body accepts them.

Can badges expire?

Not today. Issuers cannot set an expiry date on a badge. An organization admin can revoke a badge, and the same badge can then be issued to that person again.

Do attendees need an account?

No. Each attendee gets an email with a link to a public badge page. From there they can add the badge to their LinkedIn profile, and anyone with the link can verify it. Badge pages are public and show the recipient's name.

Does it connect to my registration system?

No. There is no connection to event-registration systems, webinar platforms, learning management systems or student-information systems. You export a CSV from your system and upload it. A file with only an email column works. The REST API and webhooks are Enterprise only.

What if I run several events a year?

The natural setup is one badge per event, or one per session. Limits count awards issued in a calendar year and reset on 1 January, so every event draws from the same yearly allowance. The free plan covers 100 badges per calendar year. There are no per-badge fees.
