# Badges

## Overview

Badges are labels you assign to members to recognize status or behavior.\
You can grant them manually or automatically via campaign effects.

Use badges when you need a simple “tag” that is visible in member profiles.\
You can also use them as part of your automation logic.

{% hint style="info" %}

* Create badges once. Then reuse them across the program.
* **System code** is permanent after creation.
* Deactivating a badge that is used in a campaign can break that campaign logic.
  {% endhint %}

### Common use cases

* Mark VIP members or staff accounts.
* Highlight members from a specific acquisition channel (e.g., “Early adopter”).
* Track program milestones (e.g., “First purchase”, “100 orders”).
* Flag operational statuses (e.g., “Manual review”, “High return rate”).
