And then to give kudos, you're first off gonna select one or more people. You're gonna select a kudos type. This is that card that the message is delivered on, 10 default ones. Go ahead and type in your message of praise.

You can use emojis in the message. Add on coins, which relates to rewards, and then select the visibility sent in the channel publicly for everybody to see or privately through the chat. Hit send. It's that easy. The kudos will be sent in real time, emoji reactions, replies, just like any other message. Additionally, you can add on coins to these messages.

So if you have a hex number added in, you can also adjust the text color of the kudos as well. Lastly, upload a one by one ratio image. PNG file types work the best.
