What it does
If you run points, badges and ranks with myCred, that activity usually stays inside WordPress. Copying it into a spreadsheet, a team chat or an email list by hand takes time and falls out of date quickly. This addon connects myCred to Zapier so the data moves on its own. When a user earns or loses points, gets a badge or changes rank, the details can be passed to services such as Google Sheets, Slack, Mailchimp or Dropbox, all without writing code.
The connection runs on custom webhooks that fire at the moment an achievement event happens on your site. You build a Zap, test and preview it, and then let it run. Point deductions are covered too, so your outside tools reflect losses as well as gains. The addon works on single WordPress sites and on multisite networks, and it relies on BuddyPress, which makes it a natural fit for community sites that already use both plugins.
Best for
- BuddyPress communities using myCred points, badges and ranks
- Site admins who track user activity in Google Sheets
- Teams wanting Slack or Mailchimp updates from gamification events
