What it does
Running a points system works best when users actually notice their progress. This add-on connects to the myCred points management system and sends emails based on what users do and achieve. You can set emails to go out when someone is promoted to a new rank, reaches a defined point total or earns a specific badge. Each message can pull in details like the user's current balance or most recent rank, so the email reflects that person's progress at the moment it happens.
Emails are built with HTML support and customizable templates, and a tag library lets you drop dynamic content into the body. To keep inboxes from filling up, you can cap how many conditional emails each user receives. The plugin works on single WordPress sites and on multisite networks. It is listed as requiring BuddyPress, so it suits community sites that already pair BuddyPress with myCred for rewards and recognition.
Best for
- BuddyPress communities running myCred points
