Events Overview

The Events system lets you add interactive and automated behavior to your playlists. Events consist of triggers, optional filters, and actions — allowing your screens to respond to user interactions, time conditions, or sensor input.

How Events Work

An event follows a simple logic:

1. A Trigger detects a condition (e.g., content starts, a touch occurs, a specific time is reached)
2. Optional Filters narrow down when the trigger should fire (e.g., only for specific content, only on certain days)
3. An Action is executed (e.g., switch content, navigate to a URL, send a signal)

Accessing Events

1. Go to the Playlists section
2. Click the gear icon next to a playlist name
3. Select the Events tab

Plugin Requirements

Events are powered by plugins. The available triggers and actions depend on which plugins are activated on your account:

Plugin	Triggers	Actions
Smart Playlist	Content Start, Content End, Date and Time	Various
Touch Elements	Touch	Navigate, switch content
Screen Sync	Content Start, Content End	Synchronize displays

Note

You need at least one event-capable plugin activated to use the Events system.

Use Cases

• Interactive kiosks — Touch a product to show details
• Time-based actions — Switch content at specific times without manual intervention
• Sensor-driven displays — Respond to RFID tags, motion sensors, or button presses
• Synchronized screens — Keep multiple displays in sync
