Gamification points are a powerful tool to engage your community members and reward their participation. This guide explains how to customize the points system to align with your community's goals and engagement strategy.

## **About the point requirement for gamification levels**

The gamification system features **nine levels** , each with specific point requirements. Members advance through these levels by earning points, which they accumulate through activities such as receiving likes or completing tasks you reward via workflows.

When you enable gamification, default point values are pre-set for each level. You can either use these defaults or customize them anytime to better suit your community’s needs.

## **Key things to consider before customizing points**

Before modifying point requirements, review the following points to ensure a seamless experience:

- **Point values:**

- **Member level updates:**

- **Workflow impact:**

## **Modify points required for gamification levels**

3. Go to the **Customize levels** section.

4. Enter the new point value in the field, next to a level name.
