Introduction

The integration between Docebo and Salesforce includes the support of Docebo in Salesforce Lightning and Classic Communities, for authenticated users only. This article details the instructions on how to make Docebo available on Salesforce Communities.  Before we start, both if you are using the Salesforce Lightning or Classic experience, start by creating your own community following the steps listed in the Salesforce Knowledge Base.  Remember that the tab shared in communities is the Learner tab (Docebo LMS tab), it is not possible to embed the Admin tab (Docebo Admin tab). Refer to this article for further information on tabs.
