Send Digital Signage Messages

Overview

Sending messages to digital signage displays is possible using RSS feeds. Once Digital Signage is enabled for your organization, Digital Signage and RSS appear as delivery methods on the New Message page. This feature allows you to push visual alerts to screens connected through an integrated signage system.

This guide explains how to send Digital Signage messages.

Steps

  1. From the New Message dropdown, select Message to Channel.

    Note: You can only send digital signage messages to channels with RSS configured. For setup, see Enable RSS Publication from Channel or Group.
