Create competitions that rank individuals or teams on a metric, update the scores by XLS import or integration, and reward the winners with badges.

The Competitions Module is designed to gamify your data and rank individuals or teams based on various metrics, such as sales revenue or the number of closed contracts.

Scores can come from your existing systems (for example HR management, sales automation or marketing automation) through an integration set up with GFoundry.

The module helps boost team alignment, motivation, and resilience by allowing you to create customized competitions.

To update competition data, you can upload an Excel file or have the data sent automatically through the API.

In the backoffice, go to Modules > Competitions. The menu has two pages: Competitions and Competition Types.

A competition type defines the scoring metric and ranking rules that competitions use. On the Competition Types page you can create (New Type), edit and delete types. Each type has a Name, a Description and a Metric (what players are ranked by).

Turn on Team competition to rank teams instead of individual players, and Show user's team ranking to also show each user the ranking within their own team.

Deleting a competition type also permanently deletes all competitions that use it.

1) Manual updates: open the competition and click Import participants. In the window, use Download template to get the Excel template (there is a specific template for team competitions), fill in the participants and their scores, and upload the file with Upload Excel file.

2) Automatic updates: alternatively, contact GFoundry support to set up an integration with other systems used in your organisation.

On the competition page you can also see the Rankings and use Export results.

When you create a competition (New Competition), you must select a Competition Type, so create the type first. You also set the Name, Start Date and End Date, an optional Banner Image, and the Target Audience (leave it empty to include everyone). The competition type can't be changed after the competition is created.

Use badges. In Gamification Engine > Badges, create a badge, choose the module Competitions and pick a trigger such as Win a competition, Finish a competition on the 2nd place or Win any competition in team. For more information, read Gamification Engine - Managing Badges and Setting Triggers.
