Would be very cool to award a badge to users automatically if their comment is marked as “Best Answer.” For early stage communities, that could be highly motivating!

@megan  I’m not sure why this is marked not feasible, because you can totally do this with the API. 

There’s a webhook for when the answer is marked that contains the userId of who the answer was, then you could automate giving them that badge. 

My guess is that it’s marked that because building the functionality would be quite a lot of effort and not all communities would want to implement this specific use case. 

But if you have Zapier or another automation tool, you can automate it.
