Add points to user in myCred when a Voxel collection is updated

Each time a collection is updated on your Voxel site, FlowMattic adds myCred points to a user, so members who curate and grow their collections earn rewards for it.

The Add points to user in myCred when a Voxel collection is updated workflow on the FlowMattic canvas, with 2 steps across Voxel, myCred — The workflow as it appears in the builder after import. Each step opens for editing.

What this workflow does

Voxel collections let members save and group posts, listings or places they like. On community and directory sites, active curators make the site more useful for everyone, and a points system is a simple way to recognise them. Here, each change a member makes to a Voxel collection becomes a myCred award.

The Voxel trigger, Collections: Post Updated, fires when a collection is updated and passes the collection's details to FlowMattic. Update a test collection to see which values arrive, including who owns it.

The myCred Add Points step then adds points to a user. It ships unmapped, so after import you map the WordPress user who should get the points, usually the collection's owner from the trigger, and set how many points to give.

Every update runs the workflow again, so a member who edits the same collection ten times earns points ten times. Decide whether that is what you want before you go live. A small award per update, or a Filter in front of the myCred step, keeps the totals sensible. Task History shows each award myCred accepted.

Rewarding active curators on a directory

A local guide site built on Voxel gives members points whenever they update a collection of favourite places, and shows top curators on a leaderboard.

Points members can spend

A community site lets members spend myCred points on badges or discounts, and keeping collections up to date is one of the ways to earn them.

Encouraging list building on a marketplace

A Voxel marketplace awards a few points each time a buyer updates a wishlist-style collection, nudging them to keep saving items they like.

How this workflow runs

What happens at each step once the workflow is on, and what you need before you import it.

Step 1Trigger
Voxel Collections: Post Updated
Fires each time a collection is updated on your Voxel site. The collection's details are passed on for mapping; check in a test run that the owner's user ID is among them.
Step 2Action
myCred Add Points
Adds points to a user in myCred. The step ships unmapped: map the WordPress user from the Voxel trigger and set the number of points after import.

After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.

Make it yours

Changes worth making after you import it.

Give a small number of points per update, since every change to a collection runs the workflow and adds points again.
Put a Filter between the Voxel trigger and the myCred step that continues only for the collections or owners you want to reward, using a value you check in a test run.
Test the workflow with your own account and a throwaway collection, then check your myCred balance before you announce the reward to members.

Questions about this workflow

Which user receives the myCred points?

The user you map in the Add Points step. The template leaves it empty, so map the collection owner's user ID from the Voxel trigger and test with your own account first.

Does editing a Voxel collection many times give points every time?

Yes. Each update starts a run and adds points again. Keep the award small, or add a Filter between the trigger and the myCred step to narrow which updates count.

Do new Voxel collections earn points too?

This template only uses the update trigger. FlowMattic's Voxel integration also has a Collections: New Post Created trigger, so build a second workflow with it if new collections should earn points.

Do I need the myCred plugin installed on the same site?

Yes. Add Points works with myCred on your WordPress site, alongside Voxel and FlowMattic, so all three need to be active.
