The Brilliant x Bonusly Integration uses the Custom Reward feature in Bonusly to issue corresponding gift cards in your Brilliant Storefront to allow employees to redeem their Brilliant gift cards from your existing gift inventory. When setting up the Custom Reward, you can give the reward a unique name. Under the Catalog Settings of the Custom Reward, please also set the Fulfillment Partner to Brilliant. The integration will only search for reward redemptions whose Fulfillment Partner matches this. Your team can choose how many points in Bonusly can be redeemed for a Brilliant gift card of corresponding points or dollar value. We recommend creating a single Custom Reward with multiple redemption amounts rather than creating multiple separate Custom Rewards with their own distinct redemption amounts.

For example, your Custom Reward set up could be named ‘YourCompanyName Swag Storefront Gift Card’ with redemption options of 50 points for $50, 100 points for $100, etc. The Brilliant team needs to know the Custom Reward name and how the redemption amounts in Bonusly will correspond with the dollar or points amounts in your Brilliant Storefront. You can send this information to your Brilliant implementation team directly via email to get the ball rolling on your set up. 

For more information on creating Custom Rewards in Bonusly, see their guide here. 

Sample from Bonusly of setting up a Custom Reward with multiple redemption amounts

Before connecting Bonusly and Brilliant you will need to have:

• A new read/write API Access Token from Bonusly following the steps outlined here. Note the API Access Token does not need to be admin access token.

• An inviting user. The inviting user is the user who will show as having sent the gift card in the email to recipients. The inviting user may be any store user with admin level access. We suggest setting up a general group email such as "[email protected]" and adding them as a store user with admin level access to be the inviting user following the steps outlined here. Once you have decided on an inviting user your Brilliant implementation team will help provide the correct User ID in order to complete your configuration.

1. From your automations dashboard, clicking Connect will open the Authentication page. You are able to change your information if needed by clicking the edit button after the integration is connected.

2. The Brilliant Storefront set up for your integration will default in the first drop down list and you’ll add your Bonusly instance in the second drop down. This will open the ‘Create a new authentication’ window where you can enter the API Access Token into the API Key section.

3. On the next page you will enter in the Inviting User ID provided by Brilliant after you select your inviting user, the equivalent amount of Bonusly points per USD (for example, if 10 Bonusly points is equal in value to $1 then you would enter in 10 in this field), and the Redemption Search Term which is the name of the custom reward the integration should use (for example, YourCompanyName Swag Shop).

   

4. After clicking finish, you’ll now see the Bonusly tile on the Automations page in your Brilliant account show as Connected. The integration is now live!

Brilliant can only fulfill a Bonusly Custom Reward when it is marked as Approved. The integration automatically marks Custom Rewards as approved and fulfilled. If you prefer to have your Bonusly admin manually approve redemptions and mark them as fulfilled we can accommodate that by request. For information on how to approve Custom Rewards in Bonusly, see their help guide here.
