Credly
Add Credly to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Embed a Credly integration so your customers can issue, read, and revoke their own digital badges from inside your product, with governed agent access to the same credential records. Access runs through each customer's own Credly organisation, so badges are issued under their brand rather than a shared account, and every issue and revoke is logged per tenant. fastn handles the authorisation and API upkeep, so credentialing is configuration rather than a per-customer build.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let customers issue their own Credly badges from inside your product when someone meets the criteria.
Read a customer's badge templates so your product offers their credential set rather than a hard-coded list.
Read issued badges and earner records so achievements appear against the right profile in your app.
Trigger your product when a badge is issued, accepted, or revoked.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent checks which badges an earner already holds before answering.
An agent issues or revokes a badge within governed permissions, with the action audited.
An agent reacts to a completion event and issues the matching badge.
Example prompt
List badges issued this quarter that the earner has never accepted, grouped by badge template.
Set up Credly in 4 steps
- 01Open the Credly connector from your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer authenticate their own Credly organisation.
- 03Map the badge templates and earner fields your product uses, then enable actions and triggers.
- 04Call them from your product, or expose them to an agent through the MCP server.
Why teams use the Credly integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a Credly integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Credly account inside your product and work their learners, training records and credentials there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: completion records get used as compliance evidence, so they have to be accurate and attributable. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a Credly update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Credly connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you keep training records current without chasing spreadsheets without wiring it twice.

DocusignCredly integration FAQ
How do I add a Credly integration to my product?
Enable the Credly connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Credly account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Credly client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own Credly account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Credly account and only ever sees their own learners, training records and credentials. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this Credly integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent checks which badges an earner already holds before answering.
Who maintains the Credly integration?
fastn does. When Credly changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Can my product enrol a learner or award a credential in Credly automatically?
Yes. An event in your product can enrol someone, assign a course, add them to a training path, or issue a credential in the customer's own Credly account, so training and recognition follow what actually happened rather than a manual upload.
Can I read completion and credential records back out of Credly?
Yes, scoped per tenant and audited. Completions and issued credentials are frequently used as compliance evidence, so the read is logged and attributable rather than a bulk export nobody can trace.
What can I build with the Credly integration?
A common starting point: issue their own Credly badges from inside your product when someone meets the criteria. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the Credly integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Credly does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
