Create and Send Digital Credentials

With Certifier, you can enable your recipients to share their credentials with their social network, thereby boosting your social media visibility.

PDF certificates cannot be attached to posts, limiting their visibility. Use URLs instead of static certificates, as they're much more shareable across social media accounts. The credential preview appears automatically. And, the link leads to the overview, from which anyone can find more info about the credential (and your course or event).

Provide your recipients with the flexibility they expect

When you share digital certificate URLs with your recipients, instead of static images, you retain the flexibility to modify the certificate template at any time. You can easily update the design, add new information, or make modifications without the need to redistribute the certificates. Your recipients will see the changes right after they’ve been made.

Make changes to the certificate template even after publication

Another beneficial feature to credential sharing via link? You can track the engagement metrics – see who opened, shared, or added the credentials to social media. You can even react if the certificate email was bounced or didn’t reach the inbox. With one click, you can resend the credentials once again. Just like that.&nbsp;

Measure credential engagement to enhance performance

You can boost your professional image as a provider who issues certificates with the highest security measures (not simple PDFs that can be easily fabricated). What’s more? Certifier allows you to generate a unique QR code for each certificate! One-click verification ensures credential validity is quick and transparent.

Increase the efficiency of certificate verification

Let recipients easily share certificates and badges on social media from their digital wallets. Using social media share buttons, they can show off their achievements whenever and however they want. They can post certificates as updates or add them to the Licenses &amp; Certifications section. Clicking the share button is all they have to do.&nbsp;

Reach out to the wider network on LinkedIn

What's behind the mysterious certificate link? Certifier provides recipients with the option to copy certificate links, share them on social media directly (to boost engagement), or even report the problem. You control the recipient's wallet. Choose the main CTA, add information about your course, or include the link to your website. All on your terms.

Create a customizable hub for managing certificates

Here’s why Certifier's sharing certificates via certificate URL is way more effective, credible, and secure

As you probably already know, Certifier provides hundreds of certificate social media templates. It means you can easily find the one that suits your needs in every detail. But to make it even more yours (and more professional) modify and customize it as you see fit. You can change the colors, add a background, or do whatever feels right for your recipients. Don’t forget about branding details like the company’s logo and the better the design, the more shares you'll get!

Prepare professional and branded certificate design

Create a personalized and engaging experience for recipients right from their inbox. Certifier allows you to change every email detail in the Emails tab. Tailor your messages to reflect your brand identity. Personalize the email’s subject line with the dynamic attributes or with the specific achievements of each recipient. All these small details count. <a href="https://certifier.io/blog/email-for-sending-certificates" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Personalized email</a> communications can strengthen your brand presence and increase recipient engagement.

Prepare email templates that match your brand image and tone of voice

To bring back recipients who haven't shared their <a href="https://certifier.io/blog/social-media-certificates" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">certificates social media</a> yet, send the certificate email about the upcoming expiration. Certifier automatically sends three types of emails – delivery, expiration date notification, and expired credential notification. All these gentle nudges prompt action before it's too late. Thanks to that, your recipients do not miss out on an opportunity to showcase their accomplishments. It's an easy way to re-engage and encourage participation!

Inform about upcoming expiration to reengage the recipients

Simplify credential sharing for recipients and provide them with pre-written captions that they can use when adding certificates on social media. You can easily set it up via Certifier. Go to the Groups tab and choose Advanced Settings. This feature saves time and ensures consistency in messaging. But the best part is that it is easier than ever to spread the word about the achievements. Your recipients will love it! And, you mitigate the risk that they will abandon credential sharing.

Set up default caption for posting certificate to facilitate sharing

Sharing certificates as a PDF or JPEG? It’s a recipe for disaster. Static formats are exposed to issues like file size limitations, loss of quality, and difficulty in sharing. Such documents are also much less secure and verifiable for the stakeholders. With sharable certificate links, you can easily distribute certificates online and give your recipients instant access to seamless share buttons. There is no need to download or print them – so you are also a business that takes care of the environment!

Use a sharable certificate link instead of a PDF, thank us later

The sharable certificate links attract a lot of attention. People click on it out of curiosity. Take it to your advantage. Include a link to your company or website in recipient wallets to drive traffic and raise awareness. It’s a way to extend your reach and strengthen your message, maximizing impact. In this way, you can boost your brand or course visibility and catch the attention of future participants. And then, you can check how much traffic you’ve gained from the Certifier dashboard.

Make your brand more visible, add your details to the recipient's wallet

To boost visibility and engagement with your digital certificates on social platforms, consider strategically using social media share buttons. If you've distributed certificates and noticed after a couple of weeks that most of the recipients have not interacted with them – it's a good time to take action. Enhance your digital wallet with prominent social media share buttons and resend them. This small adjustment encourages recipients to share their achievements more easily. It potentially increases your engagement metrics.

Resend certificates with low engagement on social media

You can easily handle change requests right from the Certifier dashboard. This handy feature lets you quickly make any necessary updates or corrections to certification details. Fixing a typo in a name or updating qualification information – you can do that even after the certificate was already shared via the social media share buttons. This keeps your records accurate and up-to-date without a lot of extra work. And you don’t have to resend them afterward. Make the whole process of managing certifications much smoother.

These are placeholders in the certificate that are automatically filled out with the individual's information. e.g., the recipient’s name. You can easily add or remove them in the Attributes tab.

Adding credentials to LinkedIn profiles leads to an average increase of 15% in profile interactions. Furthermore – LinkedIn profiles with specific credentials rank higher in search results. What does it mean for you? Every credential you issue that gets added to a LinkedIn profile acts as a mini-advertisement for your organization and your course. As more professionals display your credentials on their profiles, it naturally leads to increased interest and recognition, potentially driving new applicants to your programs. A strong presence on LinkedIn can open doors to collaborations and partnerships with other educational institutions, businesses, and industry leaders.

Default LinkedIn post content for quick sharing (soon)

With Certifier, you will create the best LinkedIn digital badges

When designing your digital badges, professionalism is key. Stick to a high-quality design that presents only the essential information. This lets the recipients easily understand the significance of the badge without any confusion. Remember, the goal is clarity and ease of comprehension.

Always keep a highly professional badge design

To make your badges even more effective, be sure to use skill tags. These tags emphasize important skills, which makes them easily noticeable to recipients. By highlighting these skills, you create a clear indication of what your badge recipients excel at. This straightforward approach helps recipients (and your courses) get recognized quicker.

Remember to highlight all the skills in the recipient's wallet

It's fundamental to connect your LinkedIn company ID to Certifier. By doing so, you verify that your badges are always associated with the correct organization. This connection eliminates any potential confusion regarding the source of the badges. Maintaining accurate attribution enhances the credibility of both the badges and the issuing organization.

Don’t skip the LinkedIn connection part for easier sharing

Make your badges more personalized by customizing how they are shared. You have the option to control where and how badges are shared, including the ability to disable <a href="https://certifier.io/features/generator/pdf-certificates-maker-online" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">certificate PDF downloads</a> or sharing on other social media platforms. Focusing on sharing badges on LinkedIn, the professional networking platform, makes them reach the right audience and have the most significant impact.

Add some personalization touches to the designs

Boost the professionalism of your badges by <a href="https://certifier.io/features/design/create-certificate-with-logo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">uploading the company's logo</a>. Incorporating your logo not only enhances the visual appeal of the badges but also adds credibility. It signals to recipients that your organization is reputable and trustworthy. Professional badges reflect well on the recipient and the company.

Apply professional branding to your badges

Maximize the visibility of your brand or event by including a link to your company or event website in the recipient wallets. This strategic placement drives traffic to your website and increases awareness of your brand or event. Thanks to leveraging recipient wallets as a platform for promotion, you expand your reach and amplify your message effectively.

Grow your visibility thanks to extra features

Be sure to resend your LinkedIn badges after some time, when you see the need to do it. If you've sent out 100 badges and after a week or two, you see that 70% of recipients haven’t engaged with them – no shares, no downloads – don't worry. Simply resend those badges. This little nudge can significantly lift your engagement stats.

Resend badges with low engagement and engage more

Making badges expire can encourage people to think that they need to act fast. This will motivate them to engage. When a badge runs out, it's a great chance to contact people again and give them a new or updated badge. This way helps keep your audience interested and makes your campaign exciting.

Create badges that expire after some time
