See how delivery worksImport contacts by CSV, organize them into groups, and keep every credential tied to the right person.
Explore solutionsTrack every campaign from one dashboard — who was sent what, what landed, and what is still queued — with a full activity log across your workspace.

One CSV becomes the whole run. Generate, personalize, and dispatch a credential for every row in a single pass, instead of building files one at a time and chasing a mail-merge.
Every credential gets its own record, a unique ID, and a QR code you can point anywhere. Recipients add it to LinkedIn in one click — which puts your programme in front of their network.
Logo, palette, and custom fonts apply across designs and delivery emails, so a certificate, a badge, and the message carrying them all look like they came from the same organisation.
Trigger issuance the moment a form is submitted or a programme completes. The credential is generated, the email goes out, and the record is written without anyone opening the dashboard.
Academic, achievement, and professional designs — every one fully editable, so your logo, colors, and fonts land on it in minutes.
However you recognize achievement, Pendulum adapts to your workflow and scale.
Issue membership credentials and CE certificates that members proudly display.
Award diplomas and micro-credentials at graduation scale, from one design.
Certify L&D completion for a whole cohort, straight from your recipient list.
Reward course and cohort completion with shareable, career-ready badges.
Run certification programs with per-recipient records and a full activity log.
Certify partners and users on your platform, and keep their records current.
Connect the form or spreadsheet you already collect responses in. Pendulum keeps your recipient groups in sync and can issue a credential the moment a new row arrives.
Yes. Upload a CSV of recipients and Pendulum merges your design with each row to produce unique certificates and badges — then delivers them in a single bulk send, with delivery tracked per recipient.
Yes. The designer includes a QR element you can point at any URL — your own records page, a course page, or a per-recipient link built from their data — alongside dynamic fields for a unique credential ID, issue date, and recipient name. A hosted public verification page is on the roadmap, not shipped today.
Yes. Bring your own fonts, colors, and logo across designs and delivery emails, and configure your own sender details so credentials arrive from your organization rather than from us.
There's a free forever plan for small programs, and paid plans scale with the volume of credentials you issue and the team and branding features you need. No credit card is required to start, and you only upgrade when you're ready.
Recipient data belongs to you. It is used only to generate and deliver the credentials you ask for, it is never sold or shared, and you can export or delete a group at any time from your workspace.
Pendulum syncs recipients from Google Forms, Google Sheets, Microsoft Forms, and Microsoft Excel. Automations let you issue a credential the moment a new response or row arrives, so a completed form can produce a delivered certificate without you touching it.
Design it, generate it for the whole cohort, and send it — on the free plan, starting now.
