Unique badge notifications

[DanK]

Does anyone know if you can send unique notifications for specific badges link you can for ranks; https://community.lithium.com/t5/Rankings/Send-different-rank-up-notifications-for-different-ranks/t...

Just looking at ways that we can let users know what the next badge in the track is.

@DanK - According the document you shared, we can send different notification for different ranks. And in those text Keys for different message, you can include the next badge to be achieved.  You won't be able to get dynamically which one is next badge or the description of next badge inside email template.

I know its possible for ranks what I want to do is a similar thing for badges. Perhaps an example will help.

Default email text could be something simple like this;

Hi <user>,

You just earned a the <badge>

<badge-image>

Thanks for being a member.

What I am looking to do is replace that with more meaningful specific text like;

Hi <user>,

You just earned a the badge for getting your 10th solution on community.

We really appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge, you are well on your way to earning the Author 25 Solutions badge.

Thanks for being a member.

Or;

Hi <user>,

You just earned a the badge for posting your first question.

Love it @DanK. I hope the answer doesn't come back that this isn't possible, because it's an excellent idea.

@DanK @JasonHill - I believe this is something which is feasible but requires some tweaks and customization. 

As described in email template context object there is no way to get the badge id, however, we can get the badges title using ${notification.badge.title} context object which can be used inside text keys. 

e.g 

badgeChanged.privateMessage.<badge-title>.template.html_content = content here

so let's say badge title is Philosopher, so our key will look like. 

badgeChanged.privateMessage.Philosopher.template.html_content = content here  

There might be one issue when there is a space inside badges name e.g Gave 1 Kudos. You can replace the space using velocity .replace function as text keys don't support space. 

I hope this might be helpful to give this customization a start. 

[DanK]

Interesting, I will do some testing and see what we can produce.

[TariqHussain]

@DanK - Sure, let me know if this works for you.

How do I earn these badges? 

[gaurang]

@DanK  - Were you successful in the above mentioned customization? 

Thanks,

Gaurang 

[sandy56006]

Yes.

Thanks for the support. 

[DanK]

@gaurang I have not had it implemented yet, however I have had Khoros scope up the changes as part of a professional services engagement so they seem to believe it is possible using the methodology proposed by @TariqHussain 

I hope to be able to have something in place by the end of the year.

@TariqHussain 

Grazitti could do such a customization too? Just inquiring.

[TariqHussain]

@Wendy_S  - Yes, we can do it.
