Admin: Health Challenges

Health Challenges are real-world wellbeing activities — run a 5K, take a screen-free day, journal for a week — that members complete on their own, claim with a note or photo, and earn drops for once you approve.

You'll find them under Rewards → Health Challenges, with two views:

Approvals

Every claim a member submits lands here. Each card shows who claimed which challenge, their note, their photo if the challenge asks for one, and the drop value.

  • Approve & award — credits the drops to the member's earned balance immediately. Each member can earn a given challenge once.
  • Reject — asks you for a short reason, which the member sees on the challenge card next to Try again. A rejected member can fix their evidence and resubmit.

Challenges

The catalog your members see on Wellspring, filterable by category (Movement, Mindfulness, Screen Time, Sleep, Nutrition, Connection, Outdoors).

  • Built-in challenges are Give River's starter set of about twenty, available to every team. They can't be edited — if you want a variant, create your own.
  • New challenge — write your own: title, description, what members should submit as proof, category, drop value, and whether a photo is required.
  • Enable / Disable — your own challenges can be switched off without deleting them; disabled challenges disappear from Wellspring but stay listed here so you can bring them back.

Where the drops come from

Approved claims credit earned drops — the same bucket as badges — so they don't touch anyone's shareable allowance or your River Bank.
