Gamification

Gamification adds a fun and interactive layer to your app by rewarding members for their engagement. Here’s how to set it up:

Points System

Rewards

  • Define Rewards: Create rewards that members can claim using their points, such as discounts or exclusive content access.

Completion Tracking

Completion tracking allows members to mark content as done, such as recipes they've cooked or challenges they've completed. This feature helps track user progress and can be integrated with gamification to award badges for completed tasks.

Configuration

  • Enable/Disable: Toggle the completion tracking feature.

  • Content Types: Choose which content types support completion tracking.
