The new “Congratulations” Add-on to BadgeOS automatically displays an overlay “pop-up” window (modal) congratulating users as they earn achievements.

Feature Highlights:

• Notification is immediately displayed when achievements are earned
• Displays one or more achievements in the same window
• Message includes the specific badge image, BadgeOS

  Congratulations Text, and points (if any) associated with each achievement earned

• Settings let you select which BadgeOS Achievement Types should trigger pop-up Congratulations messages when earned (display Congrats messages for just the Achievement Types you want to celebrate most or use it for all of them – you decide!)
• Greets users when they login if achievements were earned in their absence (great for achievements awarded upon approval, by site admins, or for simply logging in!)

Congratulations add-on displays a pop-up overlay (modal) window on top of the current screen in real-time, as achievements or badges are earned:

When the Congratulations Add-on is active, the BadgeOS Settings let you designate the display of Congrats pop-up messages for specific Achievement Types:

Benefits of Congratulations Add-on:

• Celebrate achievements in real-time
• Encourage or incentivize your users to keep engaging and to take the next step, keeping their momentum going
• Keep your audience wondering what activities they do or complete on your site may next trigger a feel-good moment 
• Use the BadgeOS Congratulations Text in BadgeOS to make users feel great about their progress 
• Great for activity or community triggers, where the user may not even realize they are completing steps towards an achievement  — like logging in a certain number of times, posting comments or forum messages, or completing an important grouping of achievements.
• Put the spotlight squarely on user achievement at exactly the moment it happens! Neuroscience research indicates that these dopamine-releasing moments “prompt the brain seek future opportunities to repeat the action” (Willis). That means more engagement in your site and programs.
