Tightknit Release Notes (August 30, 2024) Aug 30, 2024 Release Notes 🎖️ Badge Awards & Generated Profile Pictures [Gamification Pilot Program]
We're introducing custom badge photo frames your users can apply to their profile photos to show off their hard work! When you give a user a badge, they'll receive a customized message letting them know about the award. They'll also see a [✨Generate Profile Photo] button which takes their current Slack profile photo and generates a new photo with the badge frame overlay. It also generates a larger image that includes the badge and community logo, for sharing on social media such as in a LinkedIn post.

Recommended format for badge frame images is 512 x 512 px PNG files. The frame visual should be a square border with a transparent center. We recommend making all your badge frames the same size and shape so that users can easily generate new frames repeatedly on top of their profile photos. Below is a basic example.
