How do I create a Custom Reward?

To create a new Custom Reward:

  • Go to the Workspace Settings tab and then Rewards.

  • You will be taken to the Custom Rewards tab and then click Create New Reward.

  • In the reward creation box, fill out the following fields:

    • Name - Example: “Utah Jazz Tickets”

    • Description- Include any important details your users need to know about the reward.

    • Cost in points - Set the point value based on what it will cost your team to fulfill.

      • Example: 1500 points = $150
        Note: 10 points = $1 USD

    • Active Toggle - Turn this on (green) to make the reward live once saved.

    • Quantity available - Limit how many times the reward can be redeemed. Leave blank for unlimited.

      • Example: Enter 10 if you have 10 t-shirts available.

    • Limit per user? - Set how many times each user can redeem the reward.

    • Location and Department options
      To restrict the reward to certain groups:

      1. Turn off the All Departments/Locations toggle.

      2. Select the specific departments or locations you want to include.

    • User note (optional) - Toggle on to ask a custom question during redemption.

      • Example: “Which game would you like to attend?”

    • Reward Admin - Assign an admin who will be notified of redemptions and handle fulfillment.

      • Tip: Use @ to search by username.

    • Product URL - If this reward is a product you'll be purchasing and giving to the user, the Product URL field is where you'll store the link to buy the product.

      • This is for your reference only and won't be seen by users.

    • Image (optional) - Upload a photo that represents the reward.

      • Example: Team logo or event flyer

  • When you're done, click Save to add the reward to your catalog.

Your reward will now appear in the Rewards tab for your team to redeem!
