This article provides a step-by-step guide to set up the Reward Engine on the Advocacy platform. From enabling gamification to making the Reward Engine visible to you, this guide ensures admins can configure the feature effectively and deliver a seamless experience.

Pre-requisites Required to Set Up the Reward Engine

To set up the Reward Engine, admins must have the following permissions:

  • Permissions required to set up Reward Engine:

    • Create: Allows admins to create rewards and access the +Create Reward section.

    • Reset Tokens: Allows admins to perform a token reset, resetting all users’ tokens without affecting the token expiry settings.

    • View: Provides admins the ability to view the Reward Engine section.

    • Edit Reward Settings: Grants admins full access to edit all settings within the Reward Engine configuration, including setting up points-to-token conversion and adjusting other configuration fields.

Note: Admins can make edits if they have permission to edit the Edit Reward Settings. However, admins can only view the Reward Engine Section if they have View permissions.

  • Gamification must be enabled:

    • To enable the Reward Engine, please ensure Gamification is enabled on the site through the Admin Console.

      Note: If you have opted out of gamification or if it has been disabled by an admin, you will not see the Reward Engine section in the menu items on the site.

FAQs

The Reward Engine relies on gamification to function. Users who opt out of gamification or have it disabled by an admin will not see the Reward Engine section on the site.

Previously accumulated points will not be converted into tokens once the Reward Engine is enabled. Only points earned after activation are converted based on your configuration.

Refreshing points helps ensure a consistent starting point for token conversions. This avoids discrepancies and provides a smoother user experience.

Ideally, add the Reward Engine to the menu only after configuring rewards and enabling the Reward Engine. This ensures users see a complete and functional rewards system.

If you opt out of gamification will no longer see the Reward Engine section in the menu, even if it’s enabled for the site.

Yes, when adding the Reward Engine to the menu, you can enter a custom name in the Name field. This name will appear to users on the site.

Ensure that gamification is enabled for the site and for the specific users. Also, verify that the Reward Engine is added to the menu items and published.

If no permissions are assigned, the admin will not have access to the admin view of Reward Engine section or any associated actions like viewing, approving, or managing requests.

Yes, permissions can be updated or revoked at any time through the Admin Console. Simply navigate to the All - (All 4 columns) section and adjust the permissions as needed.

The All-permission grants comprehensive access to manage all reward-related requests (pending, approved, rejected, and completed). Other permissions, like Reward Approval and Reward Delivery Manager, focus on specific stages of the reward process.
