Share a Board: On Your Website, as a Link, or on a TV

Written by Melinda Haughey

This article is about the Proxi admin app at app.proxi.co. Boards are in beta.

You pick how a board looks at the moment you share it, not in its settings. That's why one board can be a pin board on your homepage, a plain link in your newsletter, and a slideshow on the TV by the door, all from the same cards.

Publish the board first (Publish in the editor header). Then click Share, on the board's card or in the editor. The popover has three tabs.

Website

Paste the snippet where you want the board on your site. It sizes itself and stays in sync.

  • Layout — Grid, Pin board, Poster, List, or Slideshow.

  • Show — everything, or just one filter tag, so a Deals page can show only deals.

  • Columns, and for Poster, Rows before Show More.

Link

The board's own page, for a newsletter or a social post. Pick a layout and Copy board link.

TV

  • TV link — open it on the display. It runs full screen and rotates through your cards. Seconds per card and the transition are under the board's TV section.

  • Show a code to scan — cards with a link get a code beside them that people scan with their phone. For your own cards, the code opens the card's page; for an event card, the event's page.

  • Or cast it from your phone — scan the code to open the TV link on your phone, then cast or AirPlay it.

  • Email it to yourself — the easiest way to get the link onto the computer behind the TV.

Public or Not

Under Publish in the editor, the Public switch decides whether search engines and AI tools can find the board's page and the pages of its job and service cards. It starts off. Turning it on never changes who can open the link; anyone with the link always can. See Public or Hidden: Choosing What Search Engines and AI Tools Can Find.

Good to Know

  • The TV link keeps checking for new cards, so a card you add during the day shows on the screen within a few minutes without touching the TV.

  • Poster and List layouts come with Pro. On a Free workspace, a visitor sees the grid in their place.

  • Boards show a small Built with Proxi tab; the Premium plan takes it off.

  • Visitors can open any card for the details and a button. In an embed, a card with a link goes straight to the link.

  • The old posting-form link from the first version of boards no longer works; share the one under Posting.
