How recipients verify and share

Everything you issue is verifiable and shareable. This is what the person on the other end gets, and how anyone can confirm a certificate is genuine.

The public verification page

Every certificate and badge has its own public page at a link like gathin.com/certificate/<code> or gathin.com/badge/<code>. Anyone can open it — no account needed — and see the certificate image, who it was issued to, the issuing community, and the verification code. It's the proof that the credential is real: the code on the certificate matches the page.

From that page a recipient can download the certificate image and press Add to LinkedIn, which opens LinkedIn's "add certification" flow pre-filled with the title, issue date, and a link back to the verification page.

Make your community the issuer on LinkedIn

For your community to appear as the issuing organization on LinkedIn, set its LinkedIn Company ID in your community settings. The Issue and Assign screens show an info banner linking straight there. Without it, the credential still adds to LinkedIn — it just won't be tied to your organization's page.

On the recipient's profile

Earned certificates and badges also show on the person's Gathin profile, in their achievements. Each one links to its public verification page, so their profile doubles as a portfolio of what they've completed in your communities.

Connecting to an event

Certificates can be tied to an event, so a course or workshop and its certificate live together. You set the connection on the program (it carries the event). Once a program is linked, the event shows a Certified badge on its card, and anyone who earned a certificate sees it right on the event page as well as on their profile. You still issue certificates from the Certification section as described in these articles.
