To connect PLAYipp to your Omnia intranet, you first need to collect a number of pieces of information from Omnia:
- 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. - 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. -
Client ID
This is a unique identifier for the integration and is created in Omnia.
Contact Omnia support if you need help generating this. -
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
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.
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.
