Miva Points & Loyalty

[afiumano]

We have a client that is debating switching from a paid loyalty program to Miva's points and loyalty. One thing the Miva documentation mentions is awarding points for setting up an account. I don't see a specific reference to that in the documentation. Where is the info on how to set that up?

Also, are there any emails that get generated and sent when say a customer upgrades to a new tier or earns enough points to redeem a reward, etc?

Here is a section from the how to docs that talk about the CustomerPointTransaction_Insert function, this can be used with custom logic on the account creation step to add points to a newly created account.
https://docs.miva.com/how-to-guides/points-loyalty

From docs:

:cust_id (required) = Customer ID
:user_id = User ID. If left blank, will be 0.
:pending = 1 or 0 (boolean)
:order_id = Order ID. If left blank, will be 0.
:line_id = Order Line ID. If left blank, will be 0.
:descrip (required) = Description for the transaction
:points (required) = Number of points. Can not be 0.
:dtstamp = timestamp. If left empty, it will default to the current timestamp.
<mvt:item name="points" param="CustomerPointTransaction_Insert( l.settings:transaction )" />

Example Code:
