Chatter feed from company-sponsored Kudos program

We have a company-sponsored Kudos program where our employees can go to recognize another employee for their efforts. We want to see if we can easily create a Chatter Feed within the recognized employee's Chatter profile when these Kudos are given. Is that possible? And if so, what would it entail? Is it as simple as an email-to-case functionality, or is it more complex than that?

Hi,

 

Yes it is possible by integrating your company website with salesforce chatter with Chatter API. Please refer following link for implementing chatter rest api:

Hi,

 

Unfortunately there is no functionality like email-to-case in chatter, we can post comments through email by replying to the email recieved when someone posts on chatter.

 

I would suggest you to either use work.com badges (for this you will need to have work.com license) or simply post on user's profile and give some hash tag like #Awesome, #Star. For Buiding a badge refer following document:

So if we have the user's first and last name on our form where we submit Kudos on our company site, there isn't a way to easily post a feed to Chatter when somebody completes that form on our company's website?

 

If we did want to do it, would it need to be done via some integration?
