Ah that’s great, thanks Sam!

It seems the only missing piece of the puzzle for what I’m trying to achieve is that I need to add a route for assigning a badge to a user immediately rather than having a job to do it once a day.

I’ve searched around a bit and can only find fairly old topics on this - what’s the best way for me to go about it?
