Schedule by email
The Schedule by email data source allows you to push media to Smartsign
using email.
The data source will appear as a folder in the media library and the
content can then be scheduled from there.
note
Inline attachments are not supported. If you attach an image and you can see it in the email body, then it's an inline attachment. It should be removed and attached as a separate file instead.
Prerequisites
- Licensed cloud service users can use this data source without further configuration.
- For on premise use, configuration must be prepared in Microsoft 365, Azure AD, and Smartsign before. Please see separate instructions.
