Q: How can I be sure I receive my badge notification email from Credly?
A: To make sure you receive your badge notification email, and that it doesn't wind up in your spam folder, add admin@youracclaim.com and admin@credly.com as a Contact or Safe Sender in your email settings.
Instructions for adding a new contact vary by email provider, so consult your email provider to learn how. Or contact Credly’s support team through their Help Center by Submitting a Request with the name of your email provider (Outlook, Gmail, etc) and they will connect you with instructions.
If your email address is through a work network, you can also contact your network admin and ask that the email addresses admin@youracclaim.com and admin@credly.com is white-listed.
Q: I have a Credly account registered to another email address. How can I add my new email address as a secondary to my account?
A: To add a secondary within your Credly account:
- Click on the profile icon in the upper right and select "Settings."
- You'll be taken directly to your "Account" page.
- In the "Add another Email Address" box, add the additional email and click on the "Add" button.
- You'll receive a confirmation email to the email you just added. Click the appropriate link to confirm the address.
If you have issues, please contact Credly support.
We suggest adding a personal secondary email address to your Credly account. This way if your email address changes, you will always be able to access your account.

A: Follow the instructions listed on Credly Help Center to merge multiple accounts.
