Salesforce Console Developer Guide

The Lightning Console JavaScript API and the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit both interact with Salesforce console apps. This guide provides reference material for both.

Starting with API version 42.0 of the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit, many of the methods used in existing Visualforce pages and third-party web tabs now work in Lightning Experience. Just point to the latest version of the toolkit script in your Visualforce pages or third-party web tabs. Third-party content must be allowlisted in the Trusted URLs list to be used in Lightning Experience. See Classic Console API Methods Supported in the Lightning Console API for a list of supported methods.

To use this guide, it helps if you have a basic familiarity with:

JavaScript
Visualforce
Web services
Software development
Salesforce console
Lightning
Lightning console apps
