We've had a busy month launching new features and quality of life improvements.

Changelog

  • πŸͺ Webhooks
  • πŸ‘₯ Leaderboard breakdowns
  • πŸ€– AI docs assistant

Let's get into it...

πŸͺ Webhooks

Webhooks allow your system to listen for events that occur in Trophy.

Webhooks in Trophy gamification SaaS

You can listen for events like:

  • achievement.completed
  • streak.extended
  • leaderboard.finished
  • and many more...

This lets you connect custom integrations to Trophy to support a wide range of use cases including:

  • Triggering custom emails or push notifications
  • Rewarding users with gift cards
  • Automated data warehousing
  • Integration with Zapier, Make or similar

πŸ‘₯ Leaderboard Breakdowns

Traditionally, leaderboards with lots of participants fail to engage users beyond the top 1%, and have a negative impact on users in the bottom half, particularly new users.

A much more engaging way to create a leaderboard feature is to breakdown users into smaller, more socially-connected groups.

Now, leaderboard breakdowns make this possible through custom user attributes.

Create a custom user attribute for anything like:

  • Geographical location
  • School or institution
  • Organisation
  • Literally anything else...

Then link this attribute to a leaderboard and Trophy will automatically manage all leaderboard breakdowns for you.

For example if you create a leaderboard that breaks down by the "City" attribute, Trophy will manage a separate set of rankings for each city, with each user only seeing the rankings for their city.

πŸ€– AI Docs Assistant

You can now ask the docs a question and get an answer without reading through every page yourself.

AI assistant in the Trophy docs

Just hit ⌘ I or use the new Ask AI button in the nav bar to start chatting with the assistant.

Try asking it "What can I do with webhooks?".

You can also ask it to explain any code snippet you see in the docs:

Plus, you can now directly open any page in the docs in your favorite AI tool:

Coming Soon

Here's a few ideas we have for how we can make Trophy more powerful...

  • πŸ† More achievement types
    More flexible achievements logic to support use cases like "do X, Y times in Z days".
  • ⚑ Points boosts
    Temporarily modify points logic around key events with no code e.g. "2X points weekend".
  • πŸ†™ Points levels
    Create discrete levels in any points system and reward users for levelling up.
  • πŸ₯‡Aggregated leaderboards
    Create leaderboards that create competition between groups of users like "London vs New York" or "Class A" vs "Class B".
  • πŸ”₯ Streak vacation mode
    Allow users to pause their streak while away.
  • πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ Challenges
    Tools for running time-limited, personalized challenges that every user can take part in.
