Verify your advocacy identity

Connect an account or complete an offered handle challenge so eligible engagement actions can be checked against your identity.

Before you start

Join the intended advocacy programme. Use a social account you control. Available networks and manual verification options depend on the programme and service configuration.

Open the feature

In To do or Completed, choose Get verified in the toolbar. You can also choose Connect to verify on an eligible campaign action.

Steps

1. Review the listed networks and existing connected or verified identities.
2. Prefer Connect and complete the supported network authorization flow.
3. Where offered, choose Verify by handle instead, enter your handle and submit it.
4. Copy the challenge code and add it to the specified social profile's bio.
5. Return to the dialog and choose Verify. Wait for the verified result before removing the code from the bio.
6. Use Use a different handle or Change handle if you entered the wrong identity; complete the new challenge rather than assuming the previous proof applies.

Expected result

The identity displays Verified after ownership is confirmed. This is different from verifying that a particular campaign action occurred.

Example

For an offered Bluesky handle challenge, add the displayed code to your own profile bio, return to verify it, then inspect the campaign action's status separately.

Limits and permissions

• Entering a handle alone does not prove ownership.
• Some networks cannot confirm who completed an action. Eligible actions may earn points without displaying verified status.
• Only use the fallback networks actually offered. X is not offered in this advocacy identity dialog.
• A demo-session connection is sample behaviour and is not real network authorization.
• Verifying an identity does not submit a comment, reaction or repost.

Troubleshooting

• Cannot load accounts: close and retry after checking the connection.
• Manual option missing: use the supported connection flow; the fallback depends on network and service availability.
• Verification fails: check the handle, profile bio and exact current code, then retry. Do not reuse a code from another account.
• Identity verified but action unverified: return to the campaign and inspect its action status; identity and action checks are separate.
