Audience Integrations: start here

Audience Integrations connects outside data and visitors' phones to a Showcase presentation. The common workflows in this guide are done in the Showcase Editor, without writing code. A few server-wide limits and options are set in the server configuration file; see Audience settings reference.

Choose what you want to achieve

Goal Start here Result
Let phones open Showcase pages safely Make Showcase reachable from phones A tested public URL and managed HTTPS certificate
Give each visitor a private folder Create a Personal Folder with an Access QR A QR opens that visitor's details and files
Import people or content from another system Connect an outside system Repeatable import with preview, dry run, and run history
Put a web experience inside Showcase Publish a Hosted Site A ZIP or single HTML file becomes a Showcase site, with one-step rollback
Let visitors contribute media Collect and moderate audience uploads Phone uploads enter a moderation queue before appearing
Trigger wall content from a badge scanner Codice Input Services A scan opens that person's content on the wall
Connect developers to Showcase API reference and credentials A named, revocable connector credential and API endpoints

Four terms worth knowing

  • Public URL — the HTTPS address a phone uses to reach this Showcase server.
  • Personal Folder — one visitor's private Showcase space. Showcase creates its access flow automatically.
  • Connector — a saved recipe for importing people or content from another system.
  • Hosted Site — a small website served by Showcase and available for use in a presentation.
  1. Complete Make Showcase reachable from phones.
  2. Create one test Personal Folder using Create a Personal Folder with an Access QR.
  3. Scan the QR with a phone on the same network.
  4. Only then configure connectors, uploads, or Hosted Sites.

Audience Integrations is available by default. Administrators can turn it off with the integrations_enabled setting (or the SHOWCASE_INTEGRATIONS_ENABLED environment variable) — see Roles and permissions.

Who can do what

  • Administrator: network/public access, certificates, users, security, Codice Input scan stations, and everything below.
  • Author: connectors and their credentials, mapping, Personal Folders, Sites, drop zones, approving or rejecting audience uploads, and content design.
  • Presenter: operate an already prepared presentation.
  • Front desk and Viewer: no access to Audience Integrations.

There is no separate "Moderator" role — moderating audience uploads is an Administrator or Author capability.
