How to Connect IssueBadge with Zoom and Send Certificates to Participants

Virtual events, workshops, and webinars have become the new normal—and with them comes the challenge of giving participants the recognition they deserve. If you’ve ever asked yourself, “How do I send certificates to Zoom participants?”, you’re not alone.

The good news is that platforms like IssueBadge.com make it easy to generate and send digital participation certificates in bulk—without complicated tech setups.

Here’s a step-by-step guide.

Step 1: Export Your Zoom Attendance List

After your Zoom meeting or webinar:

Log in to your Zoom account.

Go to Reports → Usage Reports.

Select your event and export the participant list (usually in CSV or Excel format).

This file contains all the names and emails of attendees, which is what you’ll need to issue certificates.

Step 2: Prepare Your Participant Data

Open your CSV/Excel file and make sure it includes:

Full Name (for the certificate)

Email Address (so they can receive it)

Clean up duplicates or test accounts before uploading to IssueBadge.

Step 3: Log in to IssueBadge.com

Go to IssueBadge.com.

Create a free account (if you don’t have one).

Click on “Create Certificate/Badge.”

Here, you’ll design or choose from ready-made templates.

Step 4: Upload Your Excel File

IssueBadge allows bulk certificate generation:

Upload your participant list directly.

Map the fields (Name, Email) to the certificate template.

The system will auto-fill each certificate with participant details.

Step 5: Customize and Generate Certificates

Add event details: “Certificate of Participation – Zoom Workshop [Event Name]”.

Insert your organization’s logo, signature, and date.

Preview a few certificates before bulk issuing.

Step 6: Send Certificates to Participants

With IssueBadge, you can:

Email certificates directly to all Zoom participants.

Provide a download link (great for sharing in follow-up emails).

Offer QR codes and verifiable links, so participants can share them on LinkedIn.

Step 7: Follow Up with Recognition

To make recognition more meaningful:

Send a thank-you email with the certificate link included.

Encourage participants to share their certificate on LinkedIn or social media.

Highlight top participants in your community or organization page.
