Reward Your Heartbeat Community Members With Digital Credentials
Connect your Heartbeat community to Wauld and automatically issue verifiable certificates and badges the moment a member completes a course, joins a group, or RSVPs to a live event.
From a Heartbeat trigger to a verified credential
Heartbeat already runs your online community with courses, live events, and automated workflows.
Heartbeat trigger fires
A member completes a course, joins a group, or RSVPs to an event, each one a native Heartbeat trigger in Zapier.
Zapier reaches Wauld
Your Zap passes the member's name and email straight to Wauld in real-time, with no coding involved.
Credential is issued
Wauld maps the member's details to your chosen template and issues the certificate or badge in seconds.
Member receives their credential
A verifiable certificate or badge lands in the recipient's inbox, along with an invite to share it and add it to their profile.
Reward Every Milestone in Your Heartbeat Community
From member onboarding to live events, give members, students, and clients proof of what they achieved inside your community
Completes a course
Heartbeat's Course Completed trigger fires the moment a member finishes, so a verifiable certificate reaches them without anyone lifting a finger.
Joins a group
When a member is added to a group, the On Group Join trigger sends a welcome badge that confirms their access to that community space.
RSVPs to a live event
The New Event RSVP trigger fires as someone reserves their spot, so you can hand out an event credential or reminder before the session begins.
Joins your community
A new member signs up and the New User trigger greets them with a welcome credential, setting the tone from their very first day.
Starts a discussion thread
The New Thread trigger rewards members who spark conversation, turning everyday community engagement into a badge worth sharing.
Reaches a membership milestone
For loyalty milestones Heartbeat does not trigger natively, export your top members to a CSV and issue their badges in a single upload.
Connect Heartbeat to Wauld
Heartbeat plugs into tools like Zapier, Zoom, and Google Calendar, and Wauld works with the same tools. Choose the route that fits your community, from a no-code Zapier integration to full API control

FAQs
Answers to common questions about Heartbeat's Zapier triggers, plan requirements, and issuing verifiable credentials
How do I issue certificates and badges in Heartbeat automatically?
Heartbeat is the community platform and Wauld adds the credentialing tools it does not have. Connect a Heartbeat trigger to Wauld through Zapier, and every time a member completes a course, joins a group, or RSVPs to an event, the matching certificate or badge goes out on its own. Heartbeat can handle community tasks like welcome messages and popups, while Wauld issues the verifiable credential each milestone earns.
How do I integrate Heartbeat with Wauld, and do I need a developer?
For most teams, no. Heartbeat ships a native Zapier integration, so you connect the two apps on Zapier with no code. Point a Heartbeat trigger such as Course Completed or On Group Join at Wauld's Issue Credential action, map the member's name and email, and you are live. The same Zap can carry that member data further in one run, into your CRM, a Google Sheets tab, or your email marketing list. Developers on Heartbeat's Grow plan or higher can also use its API for a custom setup. Most teams finish in under an hour.
Which Heartbeat events can trigger a credential?
Heartbeat exposes a full set of triggers and actions in Zapier. The triggers you can send to Wauld include Course Completed, On Group Join, New Event, New Event RSVP, New Thread, New User, New or Updated User, and Abandoned Invitation Link. For any milestone Heartbeat does not trigger natively, a CSV upload issues those credentials in bulk, so every member still gets recognized.
Can I reward members for completing a course?
Yes, automatically. Heartbeat's Course Completed trigger fires the moment a member finishes, so their verifiable certificate is issued in real-time. Recognition at that moment increases participation, motivation, and long-term retention across your community.
Do I need a paid Heartbeat plan for the Zapier integration?
No. According to Heartbeat pricing, the Zapier integration is included on every plan, from Build through Scale, and Heartbeat offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card. API access begins on the Grow plan, and the top tier adds a branded mobile app. On the Wauld side, the Zapier route works on the Free plan, so you can connect the two apps and start issuing credentials right away.
Can Heartbeat members share their certificates and badges on LinkedIn?
Absolutely. Every credential is ready to add to a LinkedIn profile in one click, so members showcase their achievement while your community and your courses reach a wider professional audience.
Which Wauld pricing plan includes the Heartbeat integration?
The Heartbeat connection is available on Wauld's Free plan. Zapier and webhooks are both included at no cost, and Google single sign-on gives issuers and recipients one secure login. As your community grows, higher tiers add white-label branding, bulk issuance, and deeper reporting. Whether you build a community from scratch on Heartbeat or moved from Mighty Networks, the setup is the same.
What happens to my issued credentials if I downgrade or cancel my paid plan?
Once issued, your digital credentials remain valid and accessible to recipients even if you cancel your subscription. After your plan expires, features exclusive to paid plans will no longer be available, but all features included in the free plan will continue to work.
