Digital Badge Instructions

Credly Badge Account

To make sure you receive your RBLP^® badge notification email, and that it doesn’t wind up in your spam folder, add [email protected] as a Contact or Safe Sender in your email settings.

Instructions for adding a new contact vary by email provider, so consult your email provider to learn how. Or contact the Credly support team through their Help Center by Submitting a Request with the name of your email provider (Outlook, Gmail, etc.) and they will connect you with instructions.

Credly suggests the following:

Check your email’s spam/junk folder to see if the email notification was delivered there.
Make sure the email address on file with your badge-issuing organization is accurate.
In some cases, a domain firewall can block emails from [email protected].
We suggest creating an account on Credly with the email address of the badge that was issued. This way, you can accept the badge from the Dashboard.
If you already have an account registered to another email address, please add the email address your badge was issued to as a secondary to your account.

We also suggest adding a personal secondary email address to your account. This way if your email address changes, you will always be able to access your account.

To add a secondary within your Credly account:

Click on the profile icon in the upper right and select “Settings.”
You’ll be taken directly to your “Account” page
In the “Add Another Email Address” box, add the additional email and click on the “Add” button
You’ll receive a confirmation email to the email you just added. Click the appropriate link to confirm the address.
