Triggers

A trigger defines when an event should fire. Each trigger monitors a specific condition and activates the associated action when the condition is met.

Fires when a specific content item begins playing. Use this to synchronize actions with the start of a particular slide, video, or media file.

Available with: Smart Playlist, Screen Sync

Fires when a specific content item finishes playing. Use this to chain actions that should happen after a particular piece of content.

Available with: Smart Playlist, Screen Sync

Fires at a specific date and time or on a recurring daily schedule. Use this for time-based automation — e.g., switching to a different content layout at 18:00 every day.

Available with: Smart Playlist

Fires when a user touches or clicks an element on the screen. This can apply to a specific template element or to the entire playlist content.

Available with: Touch Elements

Triggers can be refined using Filters to control exactly when they should activate. For example, a Content Start trigger can be filtered to fire only for video content, or only on weekdays.
