Trophy Updates - February 2026

February brings a major new tool for increasing engagement with Trophy: Points Boosts.

Changelog

• ⚡ Points Boosts

⚡Points Boosts

Trophy helps you build complex points systems without coding.

Now, with Points Boosts, you can add temporary multipliers to this logic during key periods to incentivize extra engagement or prevent churn.

Boosts can apply to all users, specific user groups, or individual users, with Trophy taking care of applying multipliers to the right users automatically.

Here's a few ways you can use boosts:

• Run boosts across all users around key calendar events in your industry like New Year, Valentine's Day or BFCM.
• Give 'Pro' users an indefinite 1.5X points boost compared to free users
• Grant 'at-risk' users a temporary 3-day 2X boost to prevent churn
• Give users a 2X boost on their birthday
• Allow users to send boosts to their friends

Creating Boosts

To create a boost, use the new boosts tab on the points page of the Trophy dashboard.

To create a boost for a particular user, use the new admin API methods.

// Create a new active boost for a specific user
const response = await trophy.admin.points.boosts.create({
    systemKey: "xp",
    boosts: [
        {
            userId: "user-123",
            name: "2X boost just for you!",
            start: "2026-02-23",
            end: "2026-02-25",
            multiplier: 2,
        },
    ],
});

Displaying Boosts

We've added new APIs and SDK methods to support displaying boosts in your application:

// Fetch all active boosts
const response = await trophy.points.boosts("xp");

// Fetch active boosts for a particular user
const response = await trophy.users.pointsBoosts("user-123", "xp");

Monitoring Boosts

Points analytics charts now show points awarded from boosts vs regular points logic to help understand and balance points systems.

New Webhooks

As with all major Trophy features, we've added two new webhooks for boosts to help power custom workflows using Trophy data:

• points.boost_started events are fired when boosts are activated manually, or when scheduled boosts reach their start date.
• points.boost_finished events are fired when boosts finish, with user-specific boosts finishing relative to each user's time zone if set.

Coming Soon

Here's what we have cooking...

• 🔥 Flexible Streaks
  More flexible streak logic. Tell Trophy how much of each metric a user needs each day/week/month to keep their streak.
• 🥇Points Levels
  Set discrete levels for points in Trophy, allow users to level up and down, and power reward workflows from level changes.
• 🏃‍♂️ Community Challenges
  Tools for running time-limited, personalized challenges that every user can take part in.
