How To: Configure a Broadcast Feed

Learn how to set up the Broadcast feature in your client account!

First...

Make sure the settings of the account are correct, and toggle Broadcast on.

Then...

Create a new feed! 

• In the feed select the broadcast widget

• Configure with the following code:

[{"IncludeAway":true,"ProgramType":"Baseball","Team":"Washington Nationals"}]

• • IncludeAway: put true if you want home and away games for that team, put false if you want only home games. 
  • ProgramType: we have a list of program types scripted already (if you need a new one ask the product team) the list is as follows:

• • Team: Enter the team name here, make sure it matches the spelling of what we have on the Broadcast Master Schedule, found here: 

If...

You need multiple broadcasts in one feed, follow the code below:

[{"IncludeAway":true,"ProgramType":"Baseball","Team":"Washington Nationals"},
{"IncludeAway":true,"ProgramType":"Baseball","Team":"Oakland Athletics"},
{"IncludeAway":true,"ProgramType":"Baseball","Team":"Detroit Tigers"},
{"IncludeAway":true,"ProgramType":"Baseball","Team":"Atlanta Braves"},
{"IncludeAway":true,"ProgramType":"Baseball","Team":"Tampa Bay Rays"},
{"IncludeAway":true,"ProgramType":"Baseball","Team":"Cincinnati Reds"},
{"IncludeAway":true,"ProgramType":"Baseball","Team":"Boston Red Sox"}]

• • Notice there is a comma after each } if there is another entry after it.
  • On the last entry, there is NO comma. 
  • [] bracket type start and end the string of code.

Now What If...

• I make a typo or mistake in the team name?
• What if the broadcast pulled in, is a different game than the one specified? 
  • You can edit it! In the AI log of the zitem, there is a DB ID

• • Go to the master schedule (shown above)
  • Find the DB ID that matches the zitem 
  • Click the edit button (pencil):

• • Edit the Home or Away Teams name and click Save!

Final Tips and Tricks:

• The feed must be configured for a team or sport BEFORE uploading a new schedule to the master schedule.
  • Configure the feed, click save, and wait about ten minutes before uploading the new schedule 
• Download the Broadcast CSV (In the AI log or DB using the downward facing arrow button) 
  • Use the column called Clip and put the URL into your browser
• If a schedule is marked as fetched in the Master Schedule, and about a day has passed with out a zitem being populated
  • First check that your feed configuration is correct
  • Go to Master Schedule and click the microscope button next to the zitem, it will tell you what feeds the zitem should be present in. 
  • If you are still not seeing a zitem, click the "z" button next to the Broadcast in the Master  Schedule
