Custom Badges
We're looking to introduce a badging campaign that awards users a badge when they complete a certain training program (outside of our Igloo). It doesn't seem as if Igloo's native points/badging functionality will do quite what we're looking for. Has anyone used a different badging technology that they've then been able to integrate onto their Igloo? We don't want to leave our Igloo out of this campaign - so looking for some tried and true ideas.
We're looking to:
- Award badges based on a behavior (completing a training)
- Notify the user when they receive a badge
- Enable them to easily share badges on social
- Showcase a user's personal badges on our Igloo (sort of similar to the custom profile completion widget functionality - image on the right)
Thanks for any ideas!

This is beyond timely! I have been discussing trophy concepts with several of my partners (you know who y'all are!)
An option I have been discussing with another partner is to have a sort of recent achievers (hall of fame) spot. This page/widget/news channel could be only for those achievements to really drive home the special aspect (big competition win here too). My partner was going to go back to their marketing team and design a set of custom (images)trophies/badges and leave an easy to swap text field on it. This way admins can add names and give the finished asset to users in this designated area, but they can also grab the image to share around. It's not a perfect system but is a good first manual and low-cost step.
The best visual for this idea is the Salesforce Trailhead badges, attached!
This is something I would love to hear more feedback on! My partner was looking at a few vendors, specifically our integration with Bonusly.

Tom Ryan , very timely indeed! Looking forward to some solutions within Igloo
Monika Najdychor, if I could love this note instead of like it, I would!!!
Andrew Steer this might be of interest for you, regarding custom badges for your gamification idea! We do have an integration with Bonusly that might work for you, too.
