Click "Add Content" and choose Microapp from the drop-down options.
Paste in the link from step 1 into the URL box. The URL must contain "https://" or it will not work.
Add the display name and an icon of your choosing.
If you are looking for an icon, we can provide a default icon. This cannot be customized but will be for free. Click the link below to request this.
Share this with a Team(s) of your choosing. Anyone within this Team will be able to share Kudos.
Add this to the Section of your choosing.
We highly recommend making this a QuickLink using the toggle towards the bottom of the page so it's easy to locate for your users but this not a required step.
Once you are ready click 'Share'. The microapp is now ready to be accessed.
Sending Kudos
Head to the Hub
When you want to recognize or appreciate an employee, click or tap ‘Recognize a colleague’

Personalize your recognition with any notes. We encourage a brief summary of why you're sending the kudos i.e. a summary of the situation, the specific number of years for the anniversary, a quick memory for in a happy birthday message, etc.
