Automatically accept IBM Digital Badges with Credly

You can determine if you'd like to accept badges that you receive from IBM automatically. When accepting your first badge on the Credly platform, you have the option to enable the Auto-Accept feature so that any future badges issued to you by IBM will automatically be accepted and displayed on your profile.


To enable Auto-Accept:


  1. Log into Credly
  2. Click the profile icon at the top right-hand corner of the page
  3. Click Settings
  4. Click Organizations from the left-hand menu
  5. Click the white toggle next to IBM to enable Auto-Accept. It will move to the right and the toggle will turn green.


When Auto-Accept is enabled, you will receive an email informing you of a new badge, but no action will be required unless you would like to share your badge to social media.


To disable Auto-Accept:


  1. Log into Credly
  2. Click the profile icon at the top right-hand corner of the page
  3. Click Settings
  4. Click Organizations from the left-hand menu
  5. Click the white toggle next to IBM to disable Auto-Accept. It will move to the left and the toggle will revert to grey.


When Auto-Accept is disabled, you will have to accept any future badge from IBM manually.
