--- title: Trophy Updates - March 2026 canonical_url: "https://trophy.so/blog/trophy-updates-march-2026" description: "Points levels, a new achievement type, refreshed notification template UX, more flexible streaks, improved analytics." last_updated: "2026-07-23T10:23:03.000+00:00" --- # Trophy Updates - March 2026 March was a mega month for Trophy updates. We've added new features across 3 of the big 5 gamification primitives supported within Trophy and added improvements to a bunch of other areas. ## Changelog - ⏫︎ Points Levels - 🏆 New Achievement Type - 🖥️ Refreshed Notification Template UX - 🔥 More Flexible Streaks - 📈 Improved Analytics ## ⏫︎ Points Levels Trophy helps you build complex points systems without coding, and [last month](https://trophy.so/blog/trophy-updates-february-2026) we released ⚡ Points Boosts as the first enhancement to this experience. This month we added one more: ⏫︎ Points Levels. Points Levels allows you to set discrete milestones within your Trophy points systems that split users into tiers. As users earn/burn points, Trophy automatically promotes/demotes users between levels. ### Creating Levels To create levels, use the new levels tab on the points page of the Trophy dashboard. ![Points levels in Trophy gamification platform](https://storage.ghost.io/c/19/20/1920b913-769b-42d4-8aea-7e26af22b8ee/content/images/2026/03/720_1x_shots_so.png) Points levels in Trophy [Read more](https://docs.trophy.so/en/platform/points#points-levels) ### Displaying Levels We've added new APIs and SDK methods to support displaying levels in your application: ```ts // Fetch all levels and current thresholds const response = await trophy.points.levels("xp"); // Fetch level summary data (levels + user counts in each) const response = await trophy.points.levelSummary("xp") ``` [Check API spec](https://docs.trophy.so/en/api-reference/endpoints/points/get-points-levels) ### Monitoring Levels Points analytics charts now break up data into the levels you configure, allowing you to understand if your current thresholds are balanced. ![Points level analytics in Trophy gamification platform](https://storage.ghost.io/c/19/20/1920b913-769b-42d4-8aea-7e26af22b8ee/content/images/2026/03/230_1x_shots_so.png) Points level analytics in Trophy ### New Level Changed Webhook We've added a new `points.level_changed` webhook that fires when a user's level changes (up or down), allowing you to trigger custom workflows based on events that occur in Trophy like: - Granting rewards to users when they level up - Sending custom emails/notifications to users when they change levels [Check payload](https://docs.trophy.so/en/webhooks/events/points/points-level-changed) ## 🏆 New Achievement Type Based on feedback, we've added a brand new type of achievement to Trophy. 'Composite achievements' are achievements that triggered by...yes...other achievements. A composite achievement can have one or many pre-requisite achievements that, when all are completed, trigger the composite achievement to be completed automatically. ![Composite achievements in Trophy gamification platform](https://storage.ghost.io/c/19/20/1920b913-769b-42d4-8aea-7e26af22b8ee/content/images/2026/03/379_1x_shots_so.png) Composite achievements in Trophy Composite achievements are useful for creating hierarchical systems of badges that map to progression paths within your application. [Learn more](https://docs.trophy.so/en/platform/achievements#composite-achievements) ## 🖥️ Refreshed Notification Template UX We had some feedback that the UX for managing templates and triggers for emails and push notifications in Trophy was hard to get to grips with. So we took some time this month to rethink our approach and are delighted with the result. ![Refreshed notification management in Trophy gamification platform](https://storage.ghost.io/c/19/20/1920b913-769b-42d4-8aea-7e26af22b8ee/content/images/2026/03/364_1x_shots_so.png) Refreshed notification management in Trophy Now, templates are organized by message type making it much clearer to see which templates are active, and which ones are still a WIP. [Check it out](https://app.trophy.so/emails/configure) ## 🔥 More Flexible Streaks Streaks in Trophy just got a whole lot more flexible. ![Streak configuration in Trophy gamification platform](https://storage.ghost.io/c/19/20/1920b913-769b-42d4-8aea-7e26af22b8ee/content/images/2026/03/387_1x_shots_so.png) Streak configuration in Trophy Firstly, with custom streak thresholds, you can now set a specific value of each metric that a user must meet each day/week/month to extend their streak. And secondly, with the streak evaluation mode, you have more control over how Trophy chooses whether to extend a user's streak based on the metrics and thresholds you've configured. Streak evaluation now has two modes: - `AND` mode means streaks are only extended when users reach the threshold of **all** metrics in your streak logic. - `OR` mode means streaks are extended when users reach the threshold of **any** metric in your streak logic. [See the new settings](https://app.trophy.so/streaks/configure) ## 📈 Improved Analytics We've added a few new analytics features to help you get a better understanding of user behavior in relation to gamification. ### Retention Pathways The new retention pathways analysis uses the events you've sent to Trophy to build up a picture of the different paths users take through your application and the retention of each. Use this chart to spot usage patterns that are leading to churn and fix them. ![Retention pathways analytics in the Trophy gamification platform](https://storage.ghost.io/c/19/20/1920b913-769b-42d4-8aea-7e26af22b8ee/content/images/2026/03/132_1x_shots_so.png) Retention pathways analytics ### Metric Analytics We've also added two new metric analytics charts to help you understand the engagement your users have with each of your metrics within their first 14 days, and to help understand what your DAUs are doing on their active days. ![New metric analytics charts in the Trophy gamification platform](https://storage.ghost.io/c/19/20/1920b913-769b-42d4-8aea-7e26af22b8ee/content/images/2026/03/301_1x_shots_so--1-.png) New metric analytics charts ## Coming Soon Here's what we have cooking... - 🏗️ **Environments** _Support for managing isolated development, staging and production features within the same Trophy account._ - **🏃‍♂️ Community Challenges** _Tools for running time-limited challenges that every user can take part in and be rewarded for._ Reply to this email and tell us what you want to see the most!
