Issue your first badge

From a new account to a badge awarded to yourself and opened on its public page.

This walks you from a brand-new account to a badge you have awarded to yourself and opened on its public page. Issuing to yourself first shows you exactly what a recipient will see.

Follow along on the dashboard

Until your organization has an award, the Badges page shows a checklist titled Award your first badge: Create your first badge, Award it — try it on yourself first, and Open the badge page and share it. Each step has a button (Create badge, Award badge, View awards) that takes you to the right screen.

  1. 1Sign in. Go to incredify.net/login, enter your email address and choose Email me a code. Type the 8-digit code and choose Sign in. The same form creates a new account; there is no password.
  2. 2Set up your organization. On Set up your organization, fill in Organization name, Subdomain, Your name, Organization type and Badges per year, then choose Create organization. The subdomain is permanent; see Creating your organization. You land on the Badges page.
  3. 3Start a badge. Choose + New badge (or Create badge in the checklist). Fill in Badge name, Description and Criteria. Skills is optional.
  4. 4Pick a design. On the Design badge tab, choose Open designer. It opens on Start from a template: pick a template, pick a shape, or choose Start blank. Change what you like, then choose Done. To use your own artwork, choose the Upload PNG tab instead; see Badge designer.
  5. 5Create the badge. Choose Create badge. It stays disabled until a template has been picked in the designer. You arrive on the badge's own page.
  6. 6Award it to yourself. Under Issue this badge, on the Recipients tab, type your own address in Recipient email, add your Name, and choose Issue badge. Email the recipient a link to their badge is ticked by default. The page confirms with Badge issued.
  7. 7Open the public page. In the Issued table on the same page, choose View. (From Recipients in the sidebar, the same View link is on each row.) You are now looking at the page a recipient sees, with Add to LinkedIn, Verify, Download badge and Download JSON-LD. See What recipients get.

If the email option was ticked, check your inbox for a message with the subject You've earned: <badge name>. It can end up in spam.
