Feed Subscription Details

The feed detail page shows everything about a single public feed — what it includes, who publishes it, the description, sample messages, and the subscribe button. Open it from the Settings → Feeds browser by clicking any feed name.

info

Only account owners can subscribe to or unsubscribe from feeds, because subscriptions affect billing.

What you see

The page is split into two main areas:

  • Feed information — the publisher's thumbnail, the feed's description (provided by the publisher), and any feature highlights.
  • Manage Feed panel — the action panel on the right. Subscribe, unsubscribe, or — if already subscribed — see your trial status, current charges, and any per-screen fees.
  • Included Messages — a thumbnail grid of sample messages from the feed. Click any thumbnail to preview that message in a modal.

Subscribing

If you're not subscribed yet, the Manage Feed panel shows the price (monthly fee + per-screen fee), the trial period (typically 30 days), and a Subscribe button. Click it to:

  1. Provide any subscriber answers the feed asks for (zip code, business name, social handles, etc.).
  2. Confirm.

The feed's content becomes available in your Available Content panel when building a playlist, and a billable item is created — but billing is delayed by the trial period, so you have time to evaluate before paying.

Unsubscribing

If you're already subscribed, the panel shows an Unsubscribe button. Before you can unsubscribe, you must remove every reference to the feed's messages from your playlists. The system checks:

  • Playlists in any of your departments
  • Individual feed messages in your other playlists

If you still have references, unsubscribing is blocked with a list of the playlists to clean up first. Once they're clear, click Unsubscribe — it cancels billing and removes the subscription.

Previewing messages

Click any thumbnail in Included Messages to open a preview modal. This shows you exactly what the feed message will look like on a screen, with all variables filled in.

tip

Preview a few sample messages before subscribing — it's the best way to confirm the feed's tone and content fit your venue.
