Welcome to the final update of 2025!

It's times like this that make you reflect and for us, that means saying thank you to everyone reading that's supported us in any way this year.

We're a small, passionate team building something we deeply care about and getting the chance to meet so many similarly passionate people either directly through Trophy, our podcast, or at WebSummit last month has been a great pleasure.

This is just the beginning...

Changelog

  • πŸ”” Push Notifications
  • πŸ“Š Wrapped API
  • πŸ”¨ Restore Streak API
  • 🧭 Points Metering Controls
  • πŸ† Achievement API Updates

πŸ”” Push Notifications

Push notifications is now in open beta.

Push Notifications in Trophy Gamification Platform

Design push notification templates using a no-code editor and automatically integrate with APNs, FCM and Expo Push Service to send notifications to users...

  • When they are about to lose their streak
  • When they unlock achievements
  • When they start to become inactive
  • At the end of the week/month as a progress update

πŸ“Š Wrapped API

Our new wrapped API allows teams to build a 'Spotify Wrapped-style' feature without the complex data engineering overhead.

Trophy wrapped API

As Trophy tracks user interactions year round, we're able to surface insights including:

  • "You're most active day was 12th July"
  • "You're favourite subject was History"
  • "You're in the top 98% of gym-goers"
  • And much more...

We'll be improving this feature every year, so now is a good time to start tracking any additional interactions you might want included in your wrapped feature next year.


πŸ”¨ Restore Streaks API

Last month we added features to the dashboard to allow restoring streaks manually.

Now we've added an API to support restoring streaks programmatically providing more ways for teams to connect internal tools to Trophy and manage customer data.

🧭 Points Metering Controls

To better support points metering features like 'Energy', we've added a new switch to the points trigger configuration.

When turned on this will prevent events sent to metrics when a user is out of points.

This allows teams to better rely on Trophy to control platform usage based on a user's points allowance.


πŸ† Achievement API Updates

APIs that return achievements now also return any user or event attributes assigned to those achievements.

This allows better categorization of achievements based on attributes in UI components.


Coming Soon

Here's what's coming soon...

  • ⚑ Points boosts
    Temporarily modify points logic around key events with no code e.g. "2X points weekend".
  • πŸ₯‡Aggregated leaderboards
    Configure leaderboards that create competition between groups of users like "London vs New York" or "Class A" vs "Class B".
  • πŸ”₯ Flexible Streaks
    Allow users to set preferences on which days their streak should be tracked and set 'vacation periods' for when they need a break.
  • πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ Community Challenges
    Tools for running time-limited, personalized challenges that every user can take part in.
