Boost Engagement & Professionalism with Criteria-Based Certificate Issuance

In today’s competitive webinar and online training space, offering certificates of completion isn’t just a bonus; it’s a professional standard. With Flow’s Certificates Version 2.0, you can issue highly customizable certificates based on engagement criteria such as attentiveness, duration, and interactive actions. This powerful feature ensures that only participants who meet your preset engagement standards receive certificates – perfect for continuing education, professional development credits, or compliance requirements.

In this article, we break down how to issue certificates in Flow using advanced criteria, configure templates, and maximize the impact of your certificate delivery.

What is Flow Certificate Version 2.0?

Flow Certificate Version 2.0 is an upgraded module that allows hosts and administrators to generate customized certificates for webinar attendees immediately after a webinar concludes. Unlike simple completion certificates, Version 2.0 lets you:

• Create and save certificate templates with visual and code editing.
• Add images, logos, placeholders, and branding.
• Use multiple criteria (alone or combined) to determine eligibility.
• View detailed certificate issuance reports and resend certificates individually.

This feature is ideal for trainers, educators, and corporate webinar hosts who need to issue certificates based on measurable engagement, not just attendance.

Choosing the Right Issuance Criteria

One of the biggest advantages of Flow’s advanced certificate system is the ability to tie certificate issuance to specific engagement metrics. You aren’t limited to “attended or not”; instead, you can require that attendees meet conditions such as:

• Attentiveness Percentage: How long the attendee kept the webinar tab active in their browser.
• Duration Threshold: Minimum time spent in the session (e.g., 60 minutes).
• Popup Clicks or Poll Response: Active interaction with engagement popups during the webinar.
• Survey Completion: Require participants to complete one or more surveys, and even enforce answer accuracy.

You can combine these parameters using AND/OR logic to design complex criteria that match your educational or compliance goals.

Step‑by‑Step: Set Up Your Certificate Template

Before issuing certificates in any webinar event, you need a certificate template. Here’s how to set it up. After the webinar concludes, Flow automatically matches participant engagement data against your criteria and issues certificates to eligible attendees.

Pro Tip: While there’s no drag-and-drop builder yet, using CSS/HTML gives you full control over layout and styling.

Reporting & Manual Management

Flow doesn’t stop at issuance. It also gives you visibility and control:

• Certificate Reports: See who received certificates and view engagement metrics.
• Manual Sends: If someone missed their certificate, you can resend it from the reports page.
• CSV Export: Download detailed participation logs for audit or compliance purposes.

• Pro Tip: These tools are especially useful for organizations that need logs for continuing education credits or corporate training validation.

Why Advanced Certificate Automation Matters

Issuing engagement-based certificates with Flow offers tangible benefits:

• Increases attendee engagement. When participants know they must meet criteria, they’re likelier to stay attentive and interact.
• Provides professional credentials. Certificates reflect real effort rather than passive attendance.
• Supports compliance and reporting. Automatically logs eligibility criteria linked to issuance.
• Enhances brand credibility. Fully branded certificates make your webinars feel polished and professional.
