How to automate adding a badge to a member's account
Bettermode currently supports two smart badges; Role and New Member. Smart badges are automatically assigned to users if the badge is enabled and the user fits the criteria.
Role: Automatically identify the role of the user (Admin or Moderator).
New Member: Automatically identify new members for the first 14 days from the date of sign-up.
Admins can use Zapier app or API to automatically assign or revoke custom badges. For instance, you can set a counter for the number of posts created by a member in a certain Space and assign them a badge.
