Bind content to live data
A datasource refreshes on a schedule. Every screen bound to it then shows the current data, and nobody edits a slide.
Automate and extend
Digital signage automation that connects screens to your systems.
A price changes at the register. Then somebody retypes it onto a screen, usually late. Wallboard connects the screen network to the systems that already hold those facts, so content follows the data. Approved AI assistants can work with it too, within limits your admins set.
What automation looks like in Wallboard.
Let people outside Wallboard update data
A shared link opens a table editor in any browser. Locked rows stay protected, and nobody needs a login.
Trigger screens from other systems
Another system calls a webhook with a scoped API key. Wallboard switches on emergency content or refreshes a datasource.
React to people in the room
A screen can jump to a new page when someone taps it. A sensor can do the same when a shopper lifts a product.
Give AI assistants a governed door
AI assistants such as Claude or ChatGPT can work in Wallboard over MCP. Each gets only the permissions an admin grants.

Data and integrations
Google Sheets, RSS, Toast and Power BI are four of over 20 source types. Tables can also live in Wallboard.
AI and automation
Connect AI assistants over MCP, filter lists by describing them, and turn a web page into data with a prompt.
Interactivity
Build touch kiosks that people browse page by page. Or let a sensor change the screen when someone walks up.
APIs, MCP and custom applications
A REST API secured with OAuth 2.0. OpenAPI files cover each API domain for teams who build their own tools.
Data that refreshes itself.
Each external datasource refreshes on a schedule you set, as an interval or a cron expression, and the editor shows a live preview of what came back. Wallboard also stops refreshing sources that nothing uses. A standard datasource that no online screen has played for 7 days goes quiet, and so does one that fails 25 refreshes in a row. Its settings stay, and an unused source starts again by itself the next time its content plays.
AI access that admins control.
AI assistants reach Wallboard through its MCP server and act as the signed-in user, so an assistant never sees or changes more than that person could in the normal Wallboard interface, and the MCP settings can narrow it further. Admins decide whether the organization allows AI access at all. For each user they pick the actions allowed, up to and including delete. Delete is off by default. The platform enforces these rules on every request, so a blocked action returns a clear denial.
Connect an AI assistantBacked by responsive experts.
Connecting systems raises questions that documentation cannot always answer. The Wallboard support team is at support@wallboard.us. When no built-in type fits a system, our team can scope a custom datasource with you as project work.
Show us the system behind your screens.
Tell us which system holds the facts your screens repeat. In the demo we’ll connect a sample of it and bind a screen to it.
