Ticker
A scrolling message bar for your screen.
The Ticker is a slim band of text along the bottom of your screen, like the news ribbon on a TV channel. It keeps running under whatever post is showing, so your key message is always on screen.
Ideas
What people put in it
- Offers and promotions — “20% off all desserts today”, “Happy hour 4–7pm”.
- Opening hours and holiday notices — “Open till 11pm Fri & Sat”.
- Contact and social — a phone number to order on, or your handle.
- Announcements — “Now hiring, ask at the counter”.
- Wayfinding and housekeeping — “Restrooms to your left”, “Free Wi-Fi: GuestNet”.
Always visible and scrolling on its own, it keeps a message on repeat without using a slot in your post loop.
Setup
Setting it up takes a minute
- 01Open the board in the app or web console, go to its on-screen settings, then Ticker.
- 02Turn the Ticker on, and write a message — between 10 and 500 characters.
- 03Save it to a library of up to 10, and switch on the ones you want live.
- 04Press Save. Your screens update within moments, with no restart and nothing to re-publish.
Nothing saves automatically: leave without pressing Save and your edits are lost.
