What is a Custom Award?

Custom Awards allow admins and managers to send personalized, repeatable recognitions with set point values and messages. You can read more about what a Custom Award is and how to create one here.

Where do I send a Custom Award?

Custom Awards are sent from the Home Feed, just like a standard shoutout.

Step-by-step instructions:

  1. Navigate to the Home page in Nectar.

  2. Toggle from Shoutout to Award at the top of the post box.

  3. Fill out the required fields:

    • Select Award: Click into the field to view available Awards, or type to search for a specific one.

    • Select Recipient: Add one or more usernames using the @ symbol.

  4. Preview: This is just to show you what the text of the award will look like. This is not customizable from the post box. If you would like to change the messaging, that will have to be done in Workspace Settings by an Admin.

  5. Toggle to hide awarded points from the Leaderboard if desired.

  6. Click Send Award — your recognition will post immediately.

Tip: If you don’t see any Awards listed in the Select Award field, you likely haven’t been given permission to send any. Contact your account Admin for access.

Note: Only Admins and Managers will see the Award tab on the Home Feed post box, and only they can send Custom Awards.
