If you can send an email, you can update your screen.
Every SLX On Air board on the Pro plan has its own email address, already switched on. Send it a photo, a video or a PDF and it plays on that board's screens — usually within seconds.
How it works
Find the address
It's the board's join code followed by @post.simplylocalx.com. The web console shows it with a Copy button under Board settings → Post by email. It never changes.
Send an email
The subject line becomes the post's text and the attachments become the post. The body is ignored, so signatures never reach a screen.
It's on screen
Photos and text usually appear within seconds. Videos are checked and prepared like any upload, so a big clip can take a minute or two.
You get a reply
A short email tells you your post is live — or the exact reason it isn't.
What you can send
- Up to 5 items per email: photos (JPG, PNG, WebP), videos (MP4, MOV) and PDFs — the screen shows the first 5 pages of a PDF.
- With or without text. Five photos and an empty subject is a perfectly good post.
- Text on its own: a subject of 10 characters or more, nothing attached.
- Several boards at once — put each address in To or Cc, and one reply covers them all.
Keep each email under 25 MB. Above that, most mail apps replace the attachment with a Drive or OneDrive link, and a link can't be posted.
Only the right people can post
- Only the board's owners and admins can post by email, even on community boards where any member can post from the app.
- They must send from the email address on their SLX On Air account.
- Every email is checked using the sender's own email provider's authentication, and a forged “From” line is refused.
- Signature logos are ignored, and a reply in an email thread is never posted.
The address isn't a password. Knowing it isn't enough.
