Note: Digital Signage is available with the Team, Organization, and certain legacy plans. It is not available on the Free plan.
Digital Signage shows your company’s recognition feed on office screens, TVs, or other displays. Screens run without anyone signed in, and they can only display posts.
Digital Signage is perfect for:
- Office lobbies and common areas
- Break rooms and cafeterias
- Team spaces and collaboration areas
- Conference rooms
Bonusly Digital Signage continually cycles through the 50 most recent bonuses, excluding bonuses from removed users.
Here's an example of what your Digital Signage will look like:
Setting up the Digital Signage
Each screen gets its own access token, built into a setup URL. Bonusly handles the token settings for you.
Sign in as a Global or Tech admin and go to Company > Integrations.
Click the Digital Signage tile.
Click Add screen and give the screen a name, like Lobby TV or Break Room.
Copy the setup URL. It’s only shown once, so save it before you leave the page.
Open the setup URL on the screen. It starts showing recognition right away.

Add a separate screen entry for each display. That way you can see whether each screen is still loading, and you can turn off one screen without affecting the others.
Managing screens
Every screen appears on the Digital Signage page with its name, the admin who added it, when it was created, when it last loaded, and its status (active, expired, or revoked).
To remove a screen: revoke it from the Digital Signage page. It stops showing new posts the next time it loads.
To replace a screen’s access: add a new screen entry, open the new URL on the screen, and revoke the old one.
Screen access lasts up to one year. Bonusly emails the admin who added the screen 30 days and 7 days before it expires. After that, the screen stops showing new posts until you add a new screen entry and open the new URL.
Existing screens that were running on the old API key system were migrated automatically. The same URL on the kiosk continues to work; on its next reload, Bonusly silently swaps the legacy bearer for a Digital Signage PAT, and the screen shows up in the admin page like any other.

FAQs:
Do I need to be signed in to show Digital Signage?
No. Open the setup URL on the screen and it runs without anyone signed in. You can reuse one URL on several screens, but we recommend a separate screen entry for each so you can track and revoke them one at a time.
How long does a Digital Signage token last?
Digital Signage tokens expire after up to one year. Bonusly emails the admin who created the screen 30 days and 7 days before the token expires. To keep a screen running, add a new screen entry and reload the kiosk with the new URL.
Can a Digital Signage token be used for anything else?
No. The tokens minted by the Digital Signage flow are scoped only to the data Digital Signage needs. They cannot be used to mint other tokens, read user data, write recognition, or anything else.
What happens if the admin who set up a screen leaves the company?
Expiry reminder emails go to the admin who added the screen, so they stop if that admin leaves. Check expiry dates on the Digital Signage page and replace those screens before they expire.
Where did the old "Create New API Access Token" flow go?
The old company-wide API key has been retired. All access tokens, including Digital Signage tokens, are now created from Company > Integrations.
I set up Digital Signage before the update. Do I need to do anything?
No. Existing screens were moved over automatically and keep working with the same URL. After their next reload, they appear on the Digital Signage page like any other screen.
