EMBEDDED REWARDS · API-POWERED

The reward appears without the user ever leaving the product.

PulsePanel is a research SaaS product used to recruit participants and run short studies. Its backend sends qualifying actions straight into the RibiRewards API and surfaces the resulting reward state natively — no redirect, no separate rewards programme.

THE REALITY

One product. One seamless reward moment.

PulsePanel owns the participant UI and the research workflow. A participant completes an eligible task inside PulsePanel; the product confirms completion and the reward state appears right inside the same interface.

There's no redirect to a separate rewards site and no visible seam between the product and the infrastructure powering the reward behind it.

THE CHALLENGE

One seamless experience. Reward inventory that varies by market.

PulsePanel wants one seamless participant experience across every market it operates in, but reward inventory and fulfilment vary by country.

That variability shouldn't become core product logic PulsePanel has to build and maintain itself.

The model needed to do three things:

Own the experienceQualification and UX stay entirely inside PulsePanel.
Use a clean boundaryApproved reward events pass to RibiRewards through a single API call.
Handle local variation elsewhereReward availability differences are resolved behind the API, not in the product.

FROM ACTION TO REWARD

One API call. A complete reward workflow.

WHAT THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCES

The participant never sees the infrastructure boundary.

The reward feels completely native to the product that asked for the action — the participant never sees the handoff to RibiRewards.
