Never received n8n Cloud Course 2 Badge [have success email]

[ThinkBot]

Hi n8n team,

I waited quite awhile, but never received the badge on my profile.

See here, I’m guessing it never procced due to the fact that all the prefil data is empty for some reason. My previous attempts did contain the right data.

I emailed the issue to [email protected] with no responses about 2 weeks ago.

Subquestion:
Am I allowed to end my messages with my agency url?

Thanks

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

• n8n version:
• Database (default: SQLite):
• n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
• Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
• Operating system:

Also 2 more points.

1. I never received my first flag badge, I flagged/reported a spam account that got removed a week or two back. Would have to see specifically, don’t recall.
2. I’ve applied for n8n partner, tried follow ups, no one replies, shows the last person added to Expert Partner group is from August of 2023, and the Badge in 2022. He’s fully inactive on here (since november, last seen january) , and his company/agency is just a plain web dev agency. Why would he (no diss, general question) be approved, but my automation-focused agency (main tools: n8n, make.com, zapier) is not accessible for this partnership? I’d guess account age & activity since he was around since 2020 and was actually quite active before he was approved. But dropped off after.

I try be decently active as well, already earned trust L2, New User of the Month, and completed all courses available.

My team has actually gotten approved for Make.com expert partnership. Gotten them tons of new client conversions from zapier & scripts. n8n isn’t as popular but we have had 6 (3 active) n8n clients in the last month or so. We are working on scaling & SEO atm, have 2 new team members, I don’t pay for leads, ads, or create content right now. These are all organic on a freelance platform. (I am rated top 10% of platform and top 1% of scripts and automation). Around 30-40 jobs/clients since march. I can provide the link if interested, its my personal profile that I get leads with and close under my agency.

We try to push n8n more as much as we can over make as I much prefer n8n. But clients sometimes prefer make for a variety of reason.

Anyways, thanks guys at n8n.

Hey @ThinkBot,

Can you share your course ID so I can take a look and see what might have went wrong? I tried looking up your email address and it shows that the quiz was taken but not the course itself, This has been cleared up in the emails now to let users know that doing the practical is required. Doing the practical part is also required to answer the quiz from question 8 as well so if I did find the correct account for you I think you did pretty well on that.

On the other points… The “first flag badge” is something that Discourse automatically handles I am not sure what the actual requirements are I suspect the flagged post needs to be accepted as flagged and it is possible that we deleted it before noticing the flag I will need to take a look.

The expert program is a bit dated now and we really need to overhaul it but… We get a lot of requests to join and every submission should get a reply back that outlines the next steps and I recently got added to those replies as I think it is something we really need to change.

Typically what would happen is once we have a lead for you we will arrange a call and do a vetting call to check your knowledge of n8n which will cover everything from installing, migrating, building workflows and some enterprise features from there if you pass you get a badge and we pass on the lead.

In the future I want to change this so we have different levels of experts which should allow us to approve and add people quicker, We are also working on an ambassador program as well which will be a bit different.
