How do I create rewards?
Adding rewards is an excellent way to create more value for the tacos people have received. There are three types of rewards you can choose from: Custom, Collaborative and Gift Cards (Gift Cards are currently only available for HeyTaco for Slack customers).
Each team is different and likes different rewards, and we recommend you get creative and have fun creating rewards for your team.
Use the [+Add Reward] button on the Taco Shop page to create your first reward. If you don't see the button next to the page title, you do not have HeyTaco administrative permission. If you can't figure out who your admin is, please contact us, and we can tell you.
You can create two types of rewards — custom or collaborative rewards, as well as choose from our gift card catalog if you are a HeyTaco for Slack customer.
When selecting Custom or Collaborative rewards, a form will open up where you enter the information about your reward. Here is an example of a form for a Custom Reward. You can also create a reward from some of our reward ideas available on the right hand side; those are the ideas we have seen people have success with over the years.
Redemption Amount (total tacos)
A person will need the total number of redeemable tacos to redeem the reward. Therefore, we recommend setting the amount at an amount that won't discourage people from participating. A good rule of thumb is 4 tacos for each $1 of value.
Quantity Available (optional)
The total number of rewards available for people to redeem.
Direct message my team about this reward
When checked, after publishing, each person participating with HeyTaco will get a notification that the reward was created.
Redemption Instructions (optional)
Use this area to let the person redeeming the reward know what to expect after redeeming the reward. For example, if the reward is a T-shirt, the redemption instructions could say “Please reach out to Kelly in HR to coordinate getting your T-shirt).”

As an admin for HeyTaco for Slack, you can also add Gift Cards to your Taco Shop directly from our catalog. When you select the Gift Card reward from the choice set, you will be able to browse our catalog of gift cards available in a variety of currencies and countries.
