How to include your own custom certificate

Maybe your library or school has a specific certificate, like a “Certificate of Completion” or “100 Books Certificate”, that you would like to have participants download. While we have Completion Badges, there isn’t an option to make a regular certificate. However, we have a workaround for you!

Note: Make sure that you have created a link to your certificate, like making it a bit.ly link or a Google doc, so that your readers can access it via the web.

We recommend doing the following:

1. Log in to the admin view of your site.
2. Go to Challenges and select a challenge draft.
3. Select the ”Badges” tab and click the “Edit” button next to the desired badge.
   • Edit the desired badge.
4. Create a new reward (not a certificate!) with your desired certificate title, such as “100 Book Certificate” or “Certificate of Completion.”
5. In the reward instructions, use HTML to hyperlink or display the certificate:
   • To hyperlink to the certificate, you can edit this sample text and code:
     • Congratulations. You can view and download your certificate <a href="ENTER YOUR URL HERE">here.</a>
   • To display the certificate, you can edit this sample text and code (you can edit the height and width attributes to match your individual certificate display size):
     • Congratulations! <iframe src="ENTER YOUR URL HERE" height="700" width="500"></iframe>
6. Click “Save and Add”, followed by “Save.”
