How the Instagram integration works in PLAYipp
The Instagram integration is used in conjunction with PLAYipp's feed widgets,
making it easy to automatically display posts from your Instagram account
directly on the screens. You choose which widget best suits your layout, and the
content is updated continuously without you having to do anything manually. This
provides a vibrant and up-to-date flow of information on your digital
information screens.
Limitations
We currently only show images from Instagram. If a post is a video, a still
image from the video will be shown instead.
To create an integration with Instagram, your account must be a professional
account. Professional Instagram accounts can be set up as either Business or
Creator, depending on what best suits your business. Therefore, it is not
possible to integrate with a personal or private account.
For more information about account types, please refer to the Instagram Help
Center.
Please note that likes and comments are not displayed, as Instagram no longer
provides this information through its API.

To add the Facebook integration, you need to log in with a private Facebook
account that has administrator privileges to the Facebook page you want to
display content from. It is through this account that you give PLAYipp access to
retrieve posts from the page via Meta Business Integrations. No information from
your private account is displayed or used - the integration only applies to the
pages you choose to connect.
NOTE: After you have created an integration with Facebook, you can adjust which
pages the integration has access to via Meta Business Integrations. You can find
the settings here: https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=business_tools
Limitations
The integration functionality is limited to displaying text and images from
Facebook posts. If a post contains multiple images, these will be displayed as a
series of images in the feed widget. Other types of content, such as videos,
links, or comments, are not supported and will therefore not be displayed on the
screens.

What is SharePoint
SharePoint is a platform from Microsoft that is used to store, organize, share,
and manage information within organizations. It acts as an intranet where
employees can collaborate on documents, manage projects, and access shared
resources. SharePoint integrates well with other Microsoft 365 services, making
it easy to collaborate in real time and streamline workflows.

and drag-and-drop features.
* Responsive design – Pages automatically adjust for desktop, tablet, and
mobile.
* Access control – Control who can view or edit each page with clear permission
settings.
* Integration with Microsoft 365 – Embed documents from OneDrive, display Teams
news, and more directly on the page.
Sharepoint pages and lists
PLAYipp offers two specific integrations to automate information flows from
Microsoft SharePoint. Both integrations display the information in a feed widget
but retrieve the content from pages and lists, respectively
Sharepoint pages:
PLAYipp's SharePoint Pages integration makes it possible to display text and
images from a SharePoint page in a feed widget. The information is retrieved and
presented in a customized format that fits our feed widget, which means that the
content is not displayed exactly as it is designed in SharePoint. Layout, web
parts and other design elements from the original page appearance are not
supported, but the editorial content is highlighted in a simplified form.

Sharepoint lists:
The SharePoint Lists integration in PLAYipp makes it possible to display content
from a list in a feed format adapted for digital signage. The content is not
displayed in the original list format from SharePoint, but is instead presented
in a simplified view with a focus on text and images. For this to work
correctly, you need to specify in the list which columns should be used as the
title, body text and image. This makes it possible to control how the
information is displayed in PLAYipp and ensures a clear and consistent flow.

Get started with Omnia
To connect PLAYipp to your Omnia intranet, you first need to collect a number of
pieces of information from Omnia:
1. Omnia API URL
This is the address to your Omnia API and follows the format:
https://accountname.omniacloud.net
NOTE: Replace accountname with your actual Omnia account name.
2. Web Content Management API URL
This URL is similar to the API address above, but includes a unique prefix:
e.g. https://tvny574i8wtgh5-accountname.omniacloud.net
The prefix is specific to your environment and is needed to access the
content management API. Check with Omnia to see which URL applies to you.
3. Client ID
This is a unique identifier for the integration and is created in Omnia.
Contact Omnia support if you need help generating this.
4. Client Secret
This acts as a password for the integration and is created at the same time
as the Client ID in Omnia.
You can also contact Omnia for support here if needed.
Once you have collected this information, you fill it in PLAYipp when you create
a new Omnia integration. After the integration is activated, you can start
showing selected content from Omnia directly in a feed widget on the screens.
You can read more about how to set up and add a feed widget here: Add a feed
widget
Settings in Omnia
In order for Omnia content to be displayed correctly in our feed widgets, the
following field names (so-called screen keys) need to be used in the JSON data:
* The ingress field should have the key preamble.
* The body text field should be named either body or mainBody.
* The sender field should be specified with the key authorName.
* The title of the content should be under the key title.
* The publication date should be specified with the key createdDate.
* Images should be specified as links under the key fullImage.
It is important that these keys are used exactly as above so that the content
can be loaded and displayed correctly in PLAYipps widgets.
NOTE: All screen keys must be URL-safe, meaning they cannot contain spaces,
special characters, or Swedish characters such as Å, Ä, and Ö.
Example: "gavle_1" works while "Gävle 1" does not
If these field names are not used correctly, the content will not be displayed
on the screens. Therefore, ensure that your JSON configurations in Omnia follow
the above structure.

Everything you need to know about the Power BI integration
Power BI is a business analytics service provided by Microsoft enabling users to
visualize and analyze data from various sources. This article contains
everything you need to know when integrating Power BI with PLAYipp.
Table of contents:
* What is Power BI?
* Technical specifications needed for setup
* Lesser known features of PowerBI
* How to setup the PowerBI integration
* How to publish the PowerBI widget
What is PowerBI?
Power BI is a business analytics service provided by Microsoft. It allows users
to visualize and analyze data from various sources, including databases, Excel
files, web services, and cloud services. With Power BI, users can create
interactive reports and dashboards to gain insights into their data and make
data-driven decisions.
Key features:
1. Data Connectivity: Connects to diverse data sources.
2. Data Preparation: Cleans and shapes data efficiently.
3. Data Modeling: Builds relationships and calculates measures.
4. Visualization: Creates interactive reports with various visualizations.
5. Sharing and Collaboration: Securely shares reports and collaborates in
real-time.
There are two destinct features of PowerBI that you are able to display in
Playipp.
Dashboards
A Power BI dashboard is a single-page canvas that provides a high-level,
at-a-glance overview of key metrics and performance indicators (KPIs). Think of
it as a personalized executive summary.
* Single Page: Dashboards are limited to one page. This forces a concise and
focused view of the most critical information.
* High-Level Overview: They are designed for quick monitoring of key
performance indicators (KPIs) and provide a snapshot of business performance.
* Aggregates from Multiple Reports/Datasets: A dashboard can pull visuals
(called "tiles") from various reports and even different datasets, bringing
together information from disparate sources into a single view.
* Real-time Updates: Dashboards can display real-time data with live tiles,
making them ideal for monitoring constantly changing metrics.
* Dashboards are static in Playipp based on how the user built them in Power BI
and will not adapt to the size of the display area.
Reports
A Power BI report is a multi-page, interactive canvas that offers in-depth
analysis and exploration of data.
* Multi-Page Layout: Reports can have multiple pages, each focusing on
different aspects of the data or providing different perspectives.
* Detailed Analysis: They are designed for detailed data exploration, allowing
users to dive deep into the data, identify trends, and answer complex
business questions.
* Based on a Single Data Model: Each report is built upon a single data model
(also known as a semantic model), which can combine data from various sources
but is unified within that single model.
* Purpose: Ideal for data analysts, business users who need to conduct detailed
analysis, or anyone who requires a comprehensive understanding of specific
datasets
* Reports are responsive in Playipp and will adapt to the size of the display
area.
Technical specifications needed for setup
License requirement:
* Active Microsoft Power BI Pro or higher license
* Access to the dashboards/reports intended for display
Scopes:
We use a Oauth 2.0 authorization code flow to access PowerBI with below scopes
* User.Read
* Dashboard.Read.All
* Dataset.Read.All
* Report.Read.All
* Workspace.Read.All
Which means that when your user is authenticating in the setup of the PowerBI
integration it will authenticate with the authication servers in PowerBI.
Data Flow:
* You authenticate your Power BI account in PLAYipp.
* PLAYipp accesses the specified dashboard or report.
* For embedded (live) views, the player launches a web session to show the live
report.
* For static image snapshots, PLAYipp pulls an image of the selected view at
regular intervals and displays it on screen.
Lesser known features of PowerBI
Power BI is designed to connect to a vast array of data sources, allowing you to
create interactive dashboards and reports from virtually any data. The services
you can connect to and visualize data from fall into several categories:
* Databases:
Power BI has strong connectivity to a wide range of relational and NoSQL
databases. Read more on how to connect databases in PowerBI here.
* Microsoft SQL Server: A cornerstone for many businesses, offering robust
integration.
* Azure SQL Database: For cloud-based SQL databases in Microsoft Azure.
* SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS): Connects to existing tabular or
multidimensional models, often used for enterprise-level BI solutions.

What is Tableau?
Tableau is a powerful data visualization and analysis tool that enables you to
create interactive dashboards and reports based on data from various sources. It
is often used by businesses to gain insight, track key performance indicators
(KPIs), and make data-driven decisions.

Everything you need to know about third party widgets
At Playipp, we aim to provide a comprehensive and seamless experience for our
users digital signage experience. To achieve this, we offer two distinct ways to
connect Playipp with other services: direct integrations and third-party
widgets. This article clarifies the difference between these two, outlining how
they function within the Playipp environment and what you can expect from each.

What is the difference between Playipp Integrations vs. Third-Party Widgets?
Please note that Playipp's software solution may include both integrations with
third-party platforms and embedded third-party widgets.
* Playipp Integrations: These are direct connections built and supported by
Playipp, designed to enhance the functionality of our platform by working
seamlessly with other systems.
* These integrations move data through our database.
* We are able to use cache, which helps if the screens goes offline.
* Customers are able to change appearance of the widgets used within the
Playipp environment.
* We provide updates for both widgets and integrations.
* Third-Party Widgets: These are external applications or content from other
providers that may be displayed within our platform. While we strive to
select reputable providers, Playipp does not fully control the functionality,
content, or data privacy practices of these third-party widgets.
* The entire widget or embed is provided from another vendor.
* Usually a newer webbrowser is needed to display the widget since it is the
signage screen or player that browse to the specific widget.
* We are not able to cache or monitor the widget.
* We are not able to provide updates.
Your use of third-party widgets is subject to the terms and conditions and
privacy policies of the respective third-party providers. Playipp is not
responsible for any issues, loss, or damages arising from your use of these
widgets.
How Third-Party widgets works
Usually a Third-Party widget is created inside the system you are trying to
display and is then published using an URL in PLAYipp. The process how to create
the URL differ from system to system.
Web browser support
PLAYipp is used together with several different types of players – for example
built-in screens (PLAYin) and external media players. These players can have
varying performance as well as different versions of the operating system and
browser, which affects how web content is displayed. A web page that works well
on one player may therefore behave differently - or not be displayed at all - on
another.
For the content to be displayed correctly, the website must be backwards
compatible with older versions of Chromium-based browsers, which is used in most
players.
For best results, we recommend that you use a Playport 2, as it has the newest
web browser version that we can offer. It provides better support for modern
websites and increased compatibility. Please contact PLAYipp support if you want
to know more about which web browser version is used in your player.
When you use web banners, it is always important to test the link directly on
the type of player you are using, so that you ensure that the content works and
looks as expected.
What hardware specifications do we use in our tests of Third-Party Widgets?
* We use Playport 2 with a chrome 95 browser. Read more here.

Here is a list of systems we have tested and which work to display on the screen

Website screenshot
With this smart integration, you can easily display a web page on your
information screen. The integration takes a screenshot of the page you want to
display and then updates that screenshot at regular intervals. This article
contains everything you need to know about Website screenshot.
Table of contents:

What is website screenshot?
The Website Screenshots feature allows you to automatically display current
screenshots from selected web pages directly on your information screens. The
system retrieves and updates the images at regular intervals, making it easy to
display, for example, news pages, intranet portals, dashboards or other
important web-based information - without manual management.
In the free version, the screenshots are updated once an hour, which is suitable
for content that does not change too often. For more dynamic needs, there is a
premium version where the update interval is every 5 minutes, which provides an
almost real-time rendering of the website. Do you want to upgrade to premium or
have questions about the feature? Do not hesitate to contact us – we will be
happy to help you find the solution that best suits your needs.
With the Website Screenshots feature, you can configure various automated steps
to be performed before the actual screenshot is taken. This means that the
system can log in to a website, click buttons, fill out forms or navigate to a
specific view – just as a user would do. This makes it possible to display
content that normally requires login or other form of interaction, such as
internal dashboards, statistics tools or employee portals. The feature thus
provides greater flexibility and expanded opportunities to integrate your most
important digital tools and systems directly into your screenshot solution
Do you want to watch a webinar about Website screenshot? Click here!
Please note: Only public web pages can be displayed
It is important to note that the integration only works with web pages that are
publicly accessible via the internet. If the web page you want to display is
only accessible within your internal network – for example, behind a firewall, a
VPN or on a local intranet – the screenshot will not be able to be generated or
displayed on the screens.
Since the screenshots are retrieved via an external service, the web page needs
to be accessible from outside. If you are unsure whether your web page meets
this requirement, or if you would like to explore options for making certain
content available for the integration in a secure way, please contact us – we
will be happy to help you find the right solution.
If you are going to display a web page as is, try publishing it as a normal web
link first. You can read how to publish a web link here: Publish web links,
Youtube & HLS stream
Add integration
To add an integration, follow these steps:
1. Click "Integrations"
2. Click Website screenshot
3. Click "Add to PLAYipp"
4. Click "Activate connection"
5. You can now add a source. Start by entering the display name of the source.
6. Enter the URL you want to display
7. In order to get correct data, you may need to set the time zone, you can do
that here.
8. Here you can choose which browser should be used to take the picture. The
version can be adjusted in case the webpage does not support a particular
browser.
9. If you need to change the resolution of the browser that takes the image,
do so here. It can be good to do if you have to display the widget on a
smaller area, and you want the web page to adapt to that size.
Sometimes you also need to increase these values if you need to scroll on
the web page to see what you want to display.
10. If you want the browser not to identify itself with a user agent, uncheck
this.
11. Many pages have the same type of login flow, you can read more about how it
works here: Requires login
12. If you tick this option, you can add scripts that run in the browser before
the player takes a picture. You can read more about it a little further
down in the guide
13. Click add source
Selector
Before you can start configuring automated login or other interactions via
script, you first need to figure out which elements on the web page you will be
interacting with – such as input fields, buttons, or menus. Each element on a
web page has a specific name or identifier (such as name, id, or class), and
these are what you need to be able to control your script correctly.
1. Open the browser in incognito mode (the most common keyboard shortcut is
ctrl/cmd + shift + n)
2. Open the link you want to display in this new window. In the guide below we
use https://content.playipp.com/test/login/ but all web pages are built
differently so you will get different names.
3. Right-click the element whose name you want to find out.
4. Select inspect
5. A window will pop up with all the HTML code for the website. A row will be
highlighted. When you hover your cursor over this row, you will see that the
field you right-clicked on will be highlighted.
Right-clickn this line.
6. Choose copy > Copy selector
Now you have a piece of text in your clipboard. You can paste this field
name/selector into various scripts to determine which element to interact
with.
NOTE: All pages are built differently, so the names are different for each
page.
Requires login
With the login required button, you can easily create a script that enters a
username, password and then clicks login. If you have to type username > click
next > type password > click login or similar, you have to use the scripting
option to do each step separately.
When you've filled everything in, it might look something like this:
NOTE: All pages are built differently, so the names of the selector are
different for different pages.
Script
With scripts, you can set up a number of steps to take place before a screenshot
is taken on the page. It could be logging in, going to a subpage, approving
cookies or the like.
TIP: It's easiest to open an incognito window while you figure out what steps
are being taken. If you use your usual profile in the browser, you may have
accepted cookies, logged in or the like already.
In the example below, a button called "#wt-cli-accept-btn" is clicked, then wait
5 seconds before the picture is taken.
If you make a mistake or put the steps in the wrong order, you can change the
order of the steps by pulling the handles (the 3 lines on the left side) and
dragging them correctly.
The options available are the following:
* Click
Simulates a click on a specific part of the website.
For example, click the login button, a link on the page or the "Accept
cookies" button on pop-ups that always appear.
* Drop down menu
Selects an option from a drop-down menu. For example drop-down menus to
select months, years.
The value field is the dropdown value you want it to select, to see how to
find the name of the selector see the selector section
* Write
Writes text for a specific part of the website. For example. Enter username
in a login form or enter text to search in a search field.
Value is the text to be written, to see how to find the name of the selector
see the selector section
* Write (protected)
Enters sensitive text into a specific part of the website. For example. Enter
a password in a login form.
Value is the text to be written, to see how to find the name of the selector
see the selector section
* Wait
Wait for X number of seconds before the script moves on to the next step. For
example, if in the previous step you have clicked on a button and now want to
wait a few seconds for the website to load properly.
* Enter/Return
Simulates Enter key press on a specific part of the website. For example, if
in previous steps you have entered something in a search field and now want
to press Enter to search. To see how to find the name of the selector see the
selector section
* Go to URL
Loads a new web link to continue the script on.
For example, if in previous steps you have logged in to a service, now you
want to go to a specific part of the service.
The value is the web link to which the script should go.
* Add CSS
If you want to hide part of the web page or change the CSS, you can use add
CSS.
Value is the CSS code to be executed e.g. "color: #ffffff; background-color:
# 000000;". To see how to find the name of the selector see selector section
If no selector is selected, the CSS will go directly to the body element.

Mspecs
Connect your Mspecs to your screens. Display houses, apartments and other
estates that will update on the screens after you change them in Mspecs. Contact
us to setup an Mspecs integration.
We need a couple of things to be able to activate the integration.
* You need to have a company admin in Mspecs who goes into the Mspecs
marketplace and adds PLAYipp as a service.
For more info on how to do this, read Mspec's help
article: https://support.mspecs.se/support/solutions/articles/13000093204-aktivera-tj%C3%A4nster-i-mspecs
* Get your company's organization ID, this is needed so that we can distinguish
your Mspecs from other customers.
Send your organization ID to your contact person at PLAYipp.
We will then get back to you when Mspecs is set up, or if we need more
information.
