Install WalkMe for Salesforce Lightning

Last Updated September 6, 2024

Let's Get WalkMe to Your Lightning Users!

WalkMe is made available to your Salesforce Lightning users via a browser extension. We recommend pushing out the extension via a mass installation. Alternatively, you can ask users to download the extension themselves (manual installation). Once complete, your published WalkMe content will immediately be accessible and WalkMe will begin collecting data.

Note

Lightning Connectors are no longer required for WalkMe to work correctly with Salesforce Lightning.

Deploy the WalkMe Extension via Mass Installation

The recommended method of deployment is mass installation of the browser extension for all your Salesforce users. Mass installation means users don't need to do anything themselves which saves time, reduces troubleshooting, and ensures they start seeing WalkMe right away.

Deploy WalkMe Using an Extension

More information about Mass Installation

Your Customer Success Manager will provide you with a link to the Deployment Guide which will guide you through installing, enabling, and configuring the WalkMe Extension. This process will need to be repeated for each operating system and browser where you would like to deploy WalkMe. The mass installation should be performed by your IT Team or System Admin.

Deploy the WalkMe Extension via Manual Installation

Not able to push out a mass installation? Provide users with a link to individually download the extension for themselves. There are two recommended options for providing users with this link.

A. Send users an email

Your Customer Success Manager will provide you with a link to download the WalkMe extension. Just send an email to your users with a link. This email can be sent by anyone in your organization.

Email template

Here is a template email we've created for you. The email template includes easy, step-by-step directions for your users to download the extension in just a couple of minutes.


B. Create an Activate Now banner in Salesforce

If you think personnel may disregard an email, you can add a call-to-action banner on Salesforce that will enable your users to download WalkMe with just one click. Adding this button will have to be performed by your Salesforce Admin.

First, download the package for your Test and Production environments.

How to Install the Salesforce Package

Then configure the banner to appear in Salesforce:

  1. Click the Cube in the Salesforce Navigation menu
  2. Click WalkMe Extension Configuration
  3. Enter Customer Name, Extension GUID, and Extension Profile
    These should be provided by your Customer Success Manager.

  4. Click Submit

Choose which pages the sidebar will appear on:

  1. Go to the page where the banner should appear
  2. Hover over the Settings icon
  3. Click Edit Page
  4. Expand the Custom – Managed folder in the left-hand navigation
    If you can't see the Custom – Managed folder, follow the on screen instructions to deploy your domain

  5. Click and drag Walk-Me_Install_Call_To_Action to your preferred location on the page
  6. Click Save
  7. Click Activate

Now the banner will appear to your users and they can click "Activate Now to download the extension!

If you would like a custom image to display instead of the default one provided, please speak to your Customer Success Manager.
