With Bonusly everyone in your organization can publicly recognize each other by giving small bonuses that add up to meaningful rewards. If you’re looking for a simple way to display Bonusly points and prizes the ScreenCloud Bonusly app is the perfect fit.

With the Bonusly app you can:

• Showcase employee recognition and rewards on your screens

Frequently asked questions:

Can I use multiple dashboards with the Bonusly app?

Currently, the app can only use one dashboard URL per instance. You can add multiple instances of the app and use different URLs to display new dashboards you’ve created in Bonusly.

My Bonusly display is asking for an access token, how do I get this?

Using the Bonusly App requires that an API access token is generated for any link shared publicly or on third-party services, such as ScreenCloud, while in use. Please visit 'Section 2. Configure your Bonusly App' of this guide for brief instructions on how to create an API access token which you can add to the end of any Bonusly link you'd like to share or display.
