Tiered badges inside a single journey We run three badge paths in our community: posts, replies, and reactions received. Each path has levels, for example 1, 5, and 15 posts. We want a member to earn a badge at each level and see it all as one journey. Right now a journey awards one badge, and only after every milestone is done. That causes two problems: 1. We can't add a hard top level, like 100 posts, without pushing the badge out of reach. So the real goals stay out of the journey. 2. To give a badge per level, we'd need a separate journey for each one. Three paths with three levels is nine journeys, and members see all of them. What we'd like: tiered awards inside a journey. Each milestone, or a set of milestone levels, grants its own badge. Bronze, silver, and gold would be a good model. A smaller related ask: let one journey require another, so a member only sees the next one after earning the badge for the first. Thanks. -Aaron

The Salesforce sync now supports the option to create a Lead for community members, so new members flow straight into your sales and marketing pipeline. In Studio, go to Integrations > Salesforce, set Create Contacts or Leads to "Leads", and pick the Lead Source to stamp on every Lead Tightknit creates. Read more here.
🚩 Reward Members For Joining A Specific Slack Channel
Journeys have a new milestone that rewards members for joining a Slack channel, perfect for nudging new members into your intros channel or a program's dedicated space. Add the Join a specific Slack channel milestone to any journey in Studio, in Slack, or through the MCP.
🛠️ Improvements and Fixes Studio
Calendar view - The new Calendar page in the Studio shows your events, journeys and scheduled polls in month, week, 3-day and day views.
Tracking "invited" status - Members an admin adds now show as "Invited" in Studio > Members and are filterable. They are excluded from member counts and growth charts until they join by logging in to either your Slack workspace or your community site for the first time.
Export a group's members as a CSV - Download a group's current members from the ⋯ menu on the group page or from Cmd+K.
Slack admins can sign in to Studio directly - Any admin or owner of a Slack workspace that already has Tightknit can now sign in to Studio and land in their workspace.
Choose link previews in Message Blaster - Decide whether Slack shows link previews when you send a Message Blaster message. The send dialog now has separate Recipients and Settings steps.
Engagement Rate formula revised - Engagement Rate now shows how many of your members have engaged in activity in the time window.
Community Site
Member counts you can trust - Home and feed page member counts now closer reflect the numbers you'd see in your Slack workspace, plus any Tightknit-only users on top. Bots and deactivated members are excluded. Show or hide the feed page count on its own under Site > Overview in Studio.
Easier to find in search and AI answers - Improvements to SEO for Google, Bing and AI answer engines with structured data and canonical links.
AI titles fine tuned - AI-generated post titles now attempt to preserve the author's tone.
MCP
Studio links in MCP responses - When an assistant creates or looks up an award, journey, event, post or other item, the response now includes a link that opens it in Studio.
Member count and milestone controls - Show or hide feed page member counts with edit_site_pages, and add the new channel-join milestone with the journey tools.
Feed tools return every setting - The get_feed and list_feeds tools now return every setting update_feed can change, so an agent can confirm its changes stuck.
Integrations
Salesforce Activities pick up later edits - Edits to past community activity now update the matching Salesforce Activity records, instead of Salesforce keeping the first version.
(Bugfix) Long emails no longer stall the Salesforce sync - Members with an email longer than 80 characters are skipped with a warning in Sync History, instead of blocking the whole backfill.
Misc
Only pay for members who've joined - Deactivated members no longer count toward your bill and neither do pre-join "invited" users.
Hello! Does anyone have a good way to identify our most active community members who are sharing best practices or answering questions from their peers? When I look at our most active members and dig into their activity, a lot of it is actually them asking our internal team product questions, rather than contributing to the broader community. Curious if anyone has found a good way to separate the two.
I'm wondering about if it's possible to display whether people are an employee or if people are a super user on their profile image in some way.
Do we need to ask them to manually update what their display name is, or ask them to manually update how their profile picture works?
The key here is that it's instantly visible, their affiliation with the Super User program or their affiliation as an employee, on their profile picture whenever their name shows up in Slack.
It would need to be a profile picture border or something like that.
Natasha K. - my sincererest apologies for this strange request, written by Claude about a situation I caused myself :') Subject: Re-link existing Events feed to a new Slack channel after accidental deletion Hi Tightknit team, I accidentally deleted our Community Events Slack channel and then created a new Community Events channel. I'd like to re-link our existing Events feed to the new channel so we keep one feed and its history. What I need Point the existing Events feed at the new Slack channel. If you can't re-link it, tell me what you'd do instead. Community: workato-community (Slack workspace T0B1Y55B6J1) Old feed - Feed ID: feed_uGbq2KZYZUDw - Slug: events (community.workato.com/x/events) - Still active and public, still in the nav menu. - Still set to the deleted channel, and stores_new_messages has flipped to false. - Has 2 published posts, one with a comment and a file attachment: - msg_xzUFxMgQ3Zgx - msg_kNZMUO7vhxd0 New Slack channel - Name: events - Channel ID: C0C302X6Z9Q - Public, the Tightknit app is a member, not activated yet. Why not just activate the new channel Activating it creates a new feed with a slug that collides with events, and the old posts would be stranded on the old feed. I'd like to avoid that, and I also don't want to rename or archive the old feed if you can re-link it. requests 1. Can you re-link feed_uGbq2KZYZUDw to C0C302X6Z9Q? 2. Will the 2 existing posts and their comment and attachment stay intact? 3. Should I activate the new channel first or wait for you? I'll hold off until I hear back so we don't create a duplicate feed.
member badges displayed in slack does anyone recall: is there a way for users to see other users' badges theyve collected, and do so inside slack? i feel like ive seen this before, but have been poking around the tightknit app/hub with no luck yet. was i hearing things??? (could be lol)
⚠️ Slow loading and errors on community sites
Since about 12:15 UTC today (8:15 AM ET / 5:15 AM PT), some pages on community sites are loading slowly or failing to load, individual posts, member profiles and community home pages most often. Most pages are still loading normally, and if one doesn't, refreshing it usually works. No content has been lost; this is a performance and availability issue only. If your community has a site, please follow this incident for updates: status.tightknit.ai/incidents/wq18ntss We'll continue to let you know more updates as they happen.

I was sharing with Zach H. in a different thread that I pull my monthly/weekly active Slack members from the Slack analytics dashboard in addition to looking at engagements with the Tightknit MCP because I still see value in passive members seeing the content that's shared. I decided to put together this video to explain a little bit about the metrics I look at weekly and how I've offloaded all of the manual work to AI instead pulling the metrics myself. Let me know if you have any specific questions that I didn't cover in the video. And I realize there are also better metrics that I could/should be tracking, so feel free to make suggestions if you see any room for improvement 😉
