What is Salesforce?
Salesforce is a third-party cloud-based software designed to help businesses connect to their customers and data. You can integrate Salesforce with Skilljar to view training and completion data alongside other Salesforce data and use the training data with marketing targeted at your trained customers (see Salesforce Use Cases below).
Two versions of the Salesforce Skilljar app are available. One is a Salesforce Classic app that works in Salesforce Classic and Lightning and the second version is a Lightning app only. To take full advantage of Skilljar in Salesforce Lightning, install the Lightning app.
