Custom badges assigned via REST API

Hi All.

 

I'm looking for the best way to assign a badge to a user in community via activity performed in an external system, using the REST API.

 

I have found some discussions that point to creating a custom role, assigning the badge to the role and assigning the role to the user via the REST API.

 

The problem with this method is we will end up with heaps of roles, which we would like to avoid.

 

Any other suggestions the best way to achieve this?

 

Thanks

Nick

    Hi Varun.

     

    As our business is constantly evolving, and we are looking to reward our customers based on various activities they undertake in our platform, there is no set number of roles we would create.  Over time we could see as many as 100+ roles being created for different customer types performing different transaction types.
