LMX Content – Pull To Content

How Pull To Content works in LMX Content — automating SSP campaign delivery to devices through inventory mapping, setup steps, and troubleshooting.

Overview

Pull To Content is a feature that allows content from SSP (Supply Side Platform) campaigns to be automatically delivered and played on screens managed through LMX Content.

This feature enables seamless integration between inventory sales and content playback by automatically pulling approved campaign creatives into the assigned playlist without requiring manual scheduling by the operator.


How Pull To Content Works

The Pull To Content workflow consists of the following steps:

  1. Inventory is created and configured in SSP.

  2. Inventory is mapped to an LMX Content device.

  3. A campaign is booked against the inventory.

  4. The campaign content is automatically pushed into the assigned playlist.

  5. LMX Content downloads and plays the content on the mapped device.

Issue

If all devices share the same network, location, and playlist, a campaign delivered to the location may be played across all devices.

This reduces inventory-level control and may result in unintended content delivery.


Inventory Mapping Process

Step 1 – Create Device

Create the device in LMX Content:

  • Device Name

  • Network

  • Location

  • Playlist

Example:

Device Name

Network

Location

Playlist

MW Screen 001

Pavilion KL

Moving Walls Malaysia

MW Malaysia


Step 2 – Create Inventory

Create the corresponding inventory in SSP.

Example:

Inventory Name

Pavilion KL Digital Screen

Mid Valley Digital Screen


Step 3 – Map Inventory

Map the SSP inventory to the LMX Content device.

Example:

Inventory

Device

Pavilion KL Digital Screen

MW Screen 001

Mid Valley Digital Screen

MW Screen 002


Step 4 – Verify Mapping

Confirm:

  • Inventory is active

  • Device is online

  • Playlist is assigned

  • Mapping is completed successfully


Campaign Delivery Flow

When a campaign is booked:

  1. Campaign is approved in SSP.

  2. Creative is assigned to the inventory.

  3. Pull To Content automatically pushes the content into the mapped playlist.

  4. Device downloads the content.

  5. Content starts playback according to schedule.


Verification Checklist

Before Go-Live:

✅ Device paired successfully

✅ Device online

✅ Playlist assigned

✅ Inventory created

✅ Inventory mapped

✅ Pull To Content enabled

✅ Test campaign created

✅ Content downloaded

✅ Playback verified


Troubleshooting

Campaign Not Playing

Verify:

  • Inventory mapping

  • Device online status

  • Playlist assignment

  • Campaign approval status

  • Content synchronization status


Content Not Appearing

Verify:

  • Correct inventory selected

  • Inventory-device mapping

  • SSP campaign status

  • Playlist synchronization


Wrong Device Playing Content

Verify:

  • Shared network/location configuration

  • Inventory mapping

  • Playlist assignment

Recommended Solution

Use separate inventory mappings for each device to ensure inventory-level content delivery.


Best Practices

  • Use one inventory per screen whenever possible.

  • Keep device and inventory naming consistent.

  • Verify mappings before campaign launch.

  • Run a test campaign before production deployment.

  • Monitor device online status regularly.

  • Avoid using shared inventory mappings for independent screens.


Summary

Pull To Content automates the delivery of SSP campaigns into LMX Content playlists through inventory mapping.

For the best results, each screen should have its own inventory mapping while maintaining proper playlist and location configuration. This ensures accurate campaign delivery, reliable reporting, and easier operational management.
