CHAPTER 1
What Is the Console Developer Guide?
There are two APIs that interact with Salesforce console apps—the Lightning Console JavaScript API and the Salesforce Console Integration
Toolkit. This guide provides reference material for both. Although both APIs provide similar functionality, they do not share methods and are restricted to Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic, respectively. You cannot use the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit with Lightning console apps, and you cannot use the Lightning Console JavaScript API in the Salesforce Classic console.
Note: The Lightning Console JavaScript API is available as a developer preview. The Lightning Console JavaScript API isn’t generally available unless or until Salesforce announces its general availability in documentation or in press releases or public statements.
We can’t guarantee general availability within any particular time frame or at all. All commands, parameters, and other features are subject to change or deprecation at any time, with or without notice. Don’t implement functionality developed with these commands or tools.
We also provide the Lightning Console JavaScript API to selected customers through a pilot program that requires agreement to specific terms and conditions. To be nominated to participate in the program, contact Salesforce. Pilot programs are subject to change, and we can’t guarantee acceptance. Make your purchase decisions only on the basis of generally available products and features. You can provide feedback and suggestions for the Lightning Console JavaScript API in the IdeaExchange .
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

CHAPTER 2
Why Your UI Matters
The Lightning Console JavaScript API provides much of the same functionality as the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit, but in
Lightning Experience only. The user interface of your org dictates which development tools you can use with the Salesforce console.
Note: The Lightning Console JavaScript API is available as a developer preview. The Lightning Console JavaScript API isn’t generally available unless or until Salesforce announces its general availability in documentation or in press releases or public statements.
We can’t guarantee general availability within any particular time frame or at all. All commands, parameters, and other features are subject to change or deprecation at any time, with or without notice. Don’t implement functionality developed with these commands or tools.

What’s the Difference Between the Lightning Console JavaScript API and the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit?
Both the Lightning Console JavaScript API and the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit are JavaScript APIs that allow you to interact with the Salesforce console. Methods are implemented differently in each API, however.
You use the methods in different places
When you are using the Lightning Console JavaScript API in Lightning Experience, you use methods in the JavaScript controller of a Lightning component. You can’t use the Lightning Console JavaScript API in Visualforce pages or other iframed pages within a
Lightning console app.
When you are using the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit in Salesforce Classic, you use methods within
<script>
tags on a Visualforce page.
The input syntax for methods is different
Methods in the Lightning Console JavaScript API’s workspace API take a JSON array of arguments: workspace.openTab({ url: 'https://salesforce.com', focus: true, label: 'Salesforce',
});
Methods in the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit don’t: sforce.console.openPrimaryTab(null, 'http://www.salesforce.com', false,
'salesforce', openSuccess, 'salesforceTab');

Why Your UI Matters Console API Method Parity—What’s Different Between
Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic?
The two APIs provide different methods
Although some of the methods in the Lightning Console JavaScript API are similar to methods in the Salesforce Console Integration
Toolkit, they have different names and provide different functionality.
The Lightning Console JavaScript API also provides methods for use with the utility bar, which is available in Lightning Experience only.
IN THIS SECTION:
Console API Method Parity—What’s Different Between Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic?
The Lightning Console JavaScript API provides methods similar to those methods in the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit.

Console API Method Parity—What’s Different Between Lightning
Experience and Salesforce Classic?
The Lightning Console JavaScript API provides methods similar to those methods in the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit.
This table shows which Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit (Salesforce Classic) methods map to Lightning Console JavaScript API
(Lightning Experience) methods and events. Not every Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit has a Lightning analog. Some Salesforce
Console Integration Toolkit methods can be replicated by using Lightning events, combining methods from the Lightning Console
JavaScript API, or using iterative and conditional logic with methods and events.
Important: Only Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit methods with a Lightning Console JavaScript API or workaround appear in this table. Methods without alternatives or workarounds are not listed.

CHAPTER 3
Lightning Console JavaScript API for Lightning
Experience (Pilot)
Lightning console apps allow users to quickly find the information they need, and make edits while viewing multiple records on one screen. The Lightning Console JavaScript API gives you programmatic access to Lightning console apps, so you can fully integrate Lightning console apps with the Lightning framework and extend them to meet your business needs.

The Lightning Console JavaScript API includes two libraries, the utility bar API and the workspace
API. The utility bar API provides methods that can be used from Lightning components in the utility bar to open, resize, or minimize a utility. The workspace API provides methods for opening, closing, and getting information about workspace tabs and subtabs. The utility bar API can be used in Lightning apps with standard navigation and Lightning console apps, while the workspace API can be used in Lightning console apps only.
For a full list of methods in each API, see the reference section of this guide.

Get to Know the Lightning Console
Lightning console apps are similar to the console in Salesforce Classic.
Use workspace API methods from Lightning pages either in the utility bar or in Lightning console app. Here’s how a Lightning console app works:
Lightning Console App User Interface
To select objects, use the item menu in the navigation bar (1). Records selected from the table list view or split view open as workspace tabs (2). When you click related records from the workspace tab, those records open as subtabs (3). To keep you efficient and productive, split view lets you work with a list view while still working on other records (4). You can close and open split view whenever you want—click the arrow on the split view pane (5). You can also click anywhere in the vertical divider between split view and record page.
You can view and update a record using the details area (6) and the feed (7). Keep in mind that page layouts can be different for each type of record. Finally, utilities let you access common processes and tools, like History and Notes (8).
In this example, there are two workspace tabs open—Acme and Global Media. Under the Global Media workspace tab, there are three subtabs open—the contact record for Jon Amos, a related case, and a related opportunity. In the History utility, you can easily access your recently opened records.

Get to Know the Utility Bar
Get to Know the Utility Bar
The utility bar API includes a set of methods for working with utilities and the utility bar.
A utility is broadly defined as a single-column Lightning page. Salesforce provides you with several ready-to-use utilities, such as Recent
Items, History, and Notes. You can also make your own, and customize the utility bar in Setup. From Setup, enter
App Manager
in the Quick Find box, then select App Manager. Either click New Lightning App to create an app, or click Edit next to an existing
Lightning app to add a utility bar or edit the existing one.
The utility bar API has ten methods for working with the utility bar. These methods can be called only from the utility bar. To effectively use these methods, it helps to know your way around the utility bar.
The following utility bar includes three utilities: My Utility, Recent Items, and Chatter Feed. Recent Items is currently open. My Utility is a custom utility, and was highlighted using the setUtilityHighlighted()
method.
1. The utility bar
2. The Chatter Feed utility
3. A utility label
4. A utility icon
5. The panel header

Lightning Console JavaScript API Syntax
SEE ALSO:
Salesforce Help: Customize Your Lightning Console App with Utilities
Lightning Console JavaScript API Syntax
Use Lightning Console JavaScript API methods in the JavaScript controller of a Lightning component.
To use the Lightning Console JavaScript API, include force:workspaceAPIAccess
, force:utilityBarAPIAccess
, or both in your Lightning component.
The force:workspaceAPIAccess
component gives you access to the workspace API, while the force:utilityBarAPIAccess
component gives you access to the utility bar API. Give each component an aura:id
so that you can reference it from the component’s controller.
The follow example shows a simple Lightning component that uses both libraries:
<aura:component implements= "flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes" access= "global" >
<force:workspaceAPIAccess aura:id= "workspace" />
<force:utilityBarAPIAccess aura:id= "utilitybar" />
<lightning:button label= "Open Utility" onclick= "{! c.openUtilityBar }" />
<lightning:button label= "Open Tab" onclick= "{! c.openTab }" />
</aura:component >
This component implements flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes
so that it can be accessed in the Lightning App
Builder.
This is the component’s JavaScript controller:
({ openUtilityBar : function (component, event, helper) { var utilityAPI = component.find( "utilitybar" ); utilityAPI.openUtility();
}, openTab : function (component) { var workspaceAPI = component.find( "workspace" ); workspaceAPI.openTab({ url: '#/sObject/001R0000003HgssIAC/view' , focus: true,
});
},
})
Note: Utility bar API methods work only when called from the utility bar. The openUtilityBar
method in this example works when it is part of a one-column Lightning page added to a Lightning app’s utility bar.
The controller has two functions, each of which uses an API method. To use a method in a controller, use component.find
with the aura:id
you gave to the force:workspaceAPIAccess
or force:utilityBarAPIAccess
.
Methods in the Utility Bar API take values directly. Methods in the Workspace API take a JSON array as an argument. The values included in the array depend on the method. openTab
, for example, takes an array that includes the url
and focus
(whether the new tab has focus). Check the reference section of this guide before using a method so that you know which arguments to pass to it.

Using Events in Lightning Console Apps
Using Callback Functions
Many methods in the Lighting Console JavaScript API return results asynchronously, in callback methods. This example uses the workspace
API function getFocusedTabId()
to get the tab ID of the focused tab. Then, the callback function calls closseTab()
and closes the focused tab.
getFocusedTabInfo : function (component, event, helper) { var workspaceAPI = component.find( "workspace" ); workspaceAPI.getFocusedTabInfo({ callback : function (error, response){ var focusedTabId = response.tabId; workspaceAPI.closeTab({tabId : focusedTabId});
}
});
},
Using Events in Lightning Console Apps
The Lightning framework uses event-driven programming, which allows you to create handlers to respond to interface events as they occur. The Lightning Console JavaScript API provides several events specific to Lightning console apps.
Events are fired from JavaScript controller actions. Events can contain attributes that can be set before the event is fired and read when the event is handled. Each event that works with Lightning console apps returns attributes that can be read once the event is fired. See the reference section of this guide for a list of attributes returned by each event.
To use console events, set up a handler in your Lightning component. The following handler, for example, listens for the force:tabCreated
event, and calls the onTabCreated
function in the component’s controller when the event occurs.
<aura:handler event= "force:tabCreated" action= "{! c.onTabCreated }" />
Let’s look at a more fleshed out example. The following component uses the workspace API and the force:tabClosed
event.
<aura:component implements= "flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes" access= "global" >
<force:workspaceAPIAccess aura:id= "workspace" />
<aura:handler event= "force:tabClosed" action= "{! c.onTabClosed }" />
</aura:component >
When a tab is closed, the event handler calls onTabClosed
in the component’s controller, which asks the user to confirm that they want to close the tab.
{( onTabClosed : function (component, event, helper) { confirm( "Do you really want to close this tab?" );
},
)}
You can use Lightning console events with the Workspace API and Utility Bar API to customize your users’ experience. You can, for example, give a tab focus when it’s refreshed, or notify the user with a modal dialogue when a tab is replaced.

Debugging
Use your browser’s console and JavaScript error messages generated within Salesforce to debug Lightning pages built with the Lightning
Console JavaScript API.
Many of the methods in the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit are asynchronous and return their results using a callback method.
We recommend that you refer to the documentation for each method to understand the information given in each response.
To print messages to your browser’s console, use console.log()
in your component controller code.
Salesforce also displays JavaScript errors at runtime, which provide the stack trace when there’s a bug.

CHAPTER 4
Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit for Salesforce
Classic
The Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit is a browser-based JavaScript API that provides you with programmatic access to the console in Salesforce Classic. The Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit uses browsers as clients to display pages as tabs in the console. For example, the toolkit lets you integrate third-party systems with the console, opening up an external application in the same window, in a tab.
This guide explains how to use the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit in JavaScript to embed
API calls and processes. The toolkit is available for use with third-party domains, such as www.yourdomain.com
; however, the examples in this guide are in Visualforce. The functionality it describes is available to your organization if you have:
•
Enterprise, Unlimited, Performance, or Developer Edition with the Service Cloud
•
Salesforce console
The Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit supports any browser that the Salesforce console supports.
EDITIONS
Available in: Salesforce
Classic
Available in: Professional,
Enterprise, Performance,
Unlimited, and Developer
Editions
Note: To enable the toolkit for third-party domains, add the domains to the whitelist of the Salesforce console.
IN THIS SECTION:
When to Use the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit
The Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit helps advanced administrators and developers implement custom functionality for the
Salesforce console. For example, you can use the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit to display Visualforce pages or third-party content as tabs in the Salesforce console. The Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit is an API that uses browsers as clients to display pages in the console.
Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit Support Policy

When to Use the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit
The Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit helps advanced administrators and developers implement custom functionality for the
Salesforce console. For example, you can use the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit to display Visualforce pages or third-party content as tabs in the Salesforce console. The Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit is an API that uses browsers as clients to display pages in the console.
Your organization may have complex business processes that are unsupported by Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit functionality.
Not to worry. When this is the case, the Force.com platform offers advanced administrators and developers several ways to implement custom functionality.
The following table lists additional features that developers can use to implement custom functionality for Salesforce organizations.
Feature
SOAP API
Description
Use standard SOAP API calls if you want to add functionality to a composite application that processes only one type of record at a time and does not require any transactional control (such as setting a
Savepoint or rolling back changes).
For more information, see the
SOAP API Developer's Guide
.
Visualforce
Visualforce consists of a tag-based markup language that gives developers a more powerful way of building applications and customizing the Salesforce user interface. With Visualforce you can:
•
Build wizards and other multistep processes.
•
Create your own custom flow control through an application.
•
Define navigation patterns and data-specific rules for optimal, efficient application interaction.
For more information, see the
Visualforce Developer's Guide
.
Apex
Use Apex if you want to:
•
Create Web services.
•
Create email services.
•
Perform complex validation over multiple objects.
•
Create complex business processes that are not supported by workflow.
•
Create custom transactional logic (logic that occurs over the entire transaction, not just with a single record or object).
•
Attach custom logic to another operation, such as saving a record, so that it occurs whenever the operation is executed, regardless of whether it originates in the user interface, a Visualforce page, or from SOAP API.
For more information, see the
Apex Developer Guide
.
Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit Support Policy
The current release of the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit is the only version that receives enhancements.
Previous versions may or may not receive fixes. When a new version is released, the previous version remains available.
13
Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit for Salesforce Classic Backward Compatibility
IN THIS SECTION:
Salesforce strives to make backward compatibility easy when using the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit.
Salesforce is committed to supporting each Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit version for a minimum of three years from the date of its first release. To improve the quality and performance of the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit, versions that are more than three years old may not be supported.
Backward Compatibility
Salesforce strives to make backward compatibility easy when using the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit.
Each new Salesforce release consists of two components:
•
A new release of platform software that resides on Salesforce systems
•
A new version of the API
The Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit matches the API version for any given release. For example, if the current version of SOAP API is 40.0, then there’s also a version 40.0 of Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit.
We maintain support for each Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit version across releases of the platform. The Salesforce Console
Integration Toolkit is backward compatible in that an application created to work with a given Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit version will continue to work with that same Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit version in future platform releases.
Salesforce doesn't guarantee that an application written against one Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit version will work with future
Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit versions: Changes in method signatures and data representations are often required as we continue to enhance the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit. However, we strive to keep the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit consistent from version to version with minimal changes required to port applications to newer Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit versions.
For example, an application written using Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit version 37.0, which shipped with the Summer ’16 release, will continue to work with Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit version 37.0 on the Winter ’17 release and on future releases. However, that same application may not work with Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit version 38.0 without modifications to the application.
End-of-Life
Salesforce is committed to supporting each Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit version for a minimum of three years from the date of its first release. To improve the quality and performance of the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit, versions that are more than three years old may not be supported.
When a Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit version is scheduled to be unsupported, an advance end-of-life notice will be given at least one year before support for the version ends. Salesforce will directly notify customers using Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit versions scheduled for end of life.
Sample Visualforce Page Using the Salesforce Console Integration
Toolkit
Each implementation of Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit can look different. This example shows how to change the Salesforce console user interface using the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit.
1. Create a Visualforce page.
2. Cut and paste the following sample code into your Visualforce page.
14
Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit for Salesforce Classic Sample Visualforce Page Using the Salesforce Console
Integration Toolkit
This code demonstrates various functions of the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit:
<apex:page standardController= "Case" >
<apex:includeScript value= "/support/console/ 40.0/integration.js
"/>
<script type= "text/javascript" > function openPrimaryTab() { sforce.console.openPrimaryTab(undefined,
'http://www.example.com' , true, 'example' );
}
//The callback function that openSubtab will call once it has the ID for its primary tab var callOpenSubtab= function callOpenSubtab(result) { sforce.console.openSubtab(result.id,
'http://www.example.com' , true, 'example' );
}; function openSubtab() { sforce.console.getEnclosingPrimaryTabId(callOpenSubtab);
}
//Sets the title of the current tab to "Example" function setTitle() { sforce.console.setTabTitle( 'Example' );
}
//The callback function that closeTab will call once it has the ID for its tab var callCloseTab= function callCloseTab(result) { sforce.console.closeTab(result.id);
} function closeTab() { sforce.console.getEnclosingTabId(callCloseTab);
}
</script >
<A HREF= "#" onClick= "openPrimaryTab();return false" >Open A Primary Tab </A >
<p/ > <A HREF= "#" onClick= "openSubtab();return false" >Open A Subtab </A >
<p/ > <A HREF= "#" onClick= "setTitle();return false" >Set Title to Example </A >
<p/ > <A HREF= "#" onClick= "closeTab();return false" >Close This Tab </A >
</apex:page >
3. Create a custom link for cases that uses your Visualforce page.
4. Edit the page layout for cases and add your custom link.
5. Add any domains to the console’s whitelist.
Note: To see this example in action, click the custom link on a case. For more information, see Define Custom Buttons and Links in the Salesforce help.
Here’s what your sample Visualforce page looks like in the console:

Working with the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit
You can use Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit to streamline a business process.
With Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit, you can:
•
Open a new primary tab or subtab that displays a specified URL
•
Set the title of a primary tab or a subtab
•
Return the ID of a primary tab or subtab
•
Close a specified primary tab or subtab
Before developing an Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit implementation, learn how to connect to Salesforce Console Integration
Toolkit and review the best practices.
IN THIS SECTION:
The first portion of any JavaScript code that uses the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit must make the toolkit available to the
JavaScript code. The syntax for this is different depending on whether you are embedding JavaScript in a Visualforce page, or a third-party domain.
Asynchronous Calls with the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit
The Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit lets you issue asynchronous calls. Asynchronous calls allow the client-side process to continue instead of waiting for a callback from the server. To issue an asynchronous call, you must include an additional parameter with the API call, which is referred to as a callback function. Once the result is ready, the server invokes the callback method with the result.
To integrate the Salesforce Console with external applications that require authentication methods, such as signed requests or OAuth
2.0 protocols, Salesforce recommends you use Force.com Canvas.
16
Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit for Salesforce Classic Connecting to the Toolkit
Salesforce recommends that you adhere to a few best practices as you use the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit.
Connecting to the Toolkit
The first portion of any JavaScript code that uses the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit must make the toolkit available to the
JavaScript code. The syntax for this is different depending on whether you are embedding JavaScript in a Visualforce page, or a third-party domain.
•
For Visualforce pages or any source other than a custom onclick
JavaScript button, specify a
<script >
tag that points to the toolkit file:
<apex:page >
<script src= "/support/console/ 40.0/integration.js
" type=" text/javascript "></script>
...
</apex:page >
For Visualforce, a relative path is sufficient to include integration.js
, and is recommended.
•
For a third-party domain:
<script src= "https://c.< yourInstance>.visual.force.com/support/console/40.0/integration.js
" type=" text/javascript "></script>
For third-party domains, it’s necessary to specify an absolute URL to integration.js
to use the toolkit. If you can't determine the org's instance, you can access the toolkit library at the default instance. Contact Salesforce for the default instance’s URL.
The version of the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit is in the URL.
Asynchronous Calls with the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit
The Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit lets you issue asynchronous calls. Asynchronous calls allow the client-side process to continue instead of waiting for a callback from the server. To issue an asynchronous call, you must include an additional parameter with the API call, which is referred to as a callback function. Once the result is ready, the server invokes the callback method with the result.
Asynchronous syntax: method( '
arg1
','
arg2
', ...,
callback_method
);
For example:
//Open a new primary tab with the Salesforce home page in it sforce.console.openPrimaryTab(null, 'http://www.salesforce.com' , false, 'Salesforce' , callback);
Working with Force.com Canvas
To integrate the Salesforce Console with external applications that require authentication methods, such as signed requests or OAuth
2.0 protocols, Salesforce recommends you use Force.com Canvas.
17
Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit for Salesforce Classic Best Practices
Force.com Canvas and the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit are similar—they’re a set of tools and JavaScript APIs that developers can use to add third-party systems to Salesforce. However, one of the benefits of Force.com Canvas, is the ability to choose authentication methods. For more information, see the Force.com Canvas Developer’s Guide.
Note: For a canvas app to appear in a console, you must add it to the console as a custom console component.
When developing a canvas app, and you want to include functionality from the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit, do the following:
1. Include the console integration toolkit API in index.jsp
.
2. If your console has a whitelist for domains, add the domain of your canvas app to the whitelist.
3. Call
Sfdc.canvas.client.signedrequest()
to store the signed request needed by the console integration toolkit
API. For example, if the Force.com Canvas method of authentication is a signed request, do the following:
Sfdc.canvas.client.signedrequest( '<%=signedRequest%>' )
If the Force.com Canvas method of authentication is OAuth, do the following in the callback function used to get the context as shown in “Getting Context in Your Canvas App” in the Force.com Canvas Developer’s Guide:
Sfdc.canvas.client.signedrequest(msg)
Consider the following when working with the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit and canvas apps:
•
The console integration toolkit API script depends on the signed request and should be added after the call to
Sfdc.canvas.client.signedrequest()
has executed. We recommend that you load the scripts dynamically.
•
To retrieve the entity ID of the record that is associated with the canvas sidebar component, do the following:
// Get signedRequest var signedRequest = Sfdc.canvas.client.signedrequest(); var parsedRequest = JSON.parse(signedRequest);
// get the entity Id that is associated with this canvas sidebar component.
var entityId = parsedRequest.context.environment.parameters.entityId;
•
To retrieve the entityId
for OAuth, do the following: var entityId = msg.payload.environment.parameters.entityId;
To see an example on how to retrieve msg.payload
, see the Force.com Canvas Developer’s Guide.

Best Practices
Salesforce recommends that you adhere to a few best practices as you use the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit.
•
Many of the methods in the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit are asynchronous and return their results using a callback method.
We recommend that you refer to the documentation for each method to understand the information for each response.
•
Errors generated by the Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit are typically emitted in a way that doesn't halt JavaScript processing.
Therefore, we recommend that you use a tool such as Firebug for Firefox to monitor the JavaScript console and to help you debug your code.
18
Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit for Salesforce Classic Best Practices
•
To display Visualforce pages properly in the Salesforce Console, we recommend you:
–
Accept the default setting showHeader= "true"
and set sidebar= "false"
on the apex:page
tag.
–
Set
Behavior
on custom buttons and links that include methods from the toolkit to display in an existing window without a sidebar or header. For more information, see Define Custom Buttons and Links” in the Salesforce online help.
•
When using Firefox, we recommend that you don't call closeTab()
on a tab with an active alert box because the browser may not load properly.
•
Duplicate tabs might open when users initiate methods with invalid URLs. We recommend that you check URLs for validity before you include them in methods.
•
To prevent
External Page
from displaying as a tab name, we recommend that you specify the tabLabel
argument on methods such as openPrimaryTab()
and openSubtab()
.
•
For information on how you can customize, extend, or integrate the sidebars of the Salesforce console using Visualforce, see “Customize a Console with Custom Components in Salesforce Classic” in the Salesforce online help.
•
To enable the toolkit for third-party domains, add the domains to the whitelist of the Salesforce console.
•
The Salesforce Console Integration Toolkit methods don't work in nested iFrames. For example, when you embed a Visualforce page into a page layout or use a custom quick action in a feed, the API method works as expected. However, if Development Mode is enabled in your org, the API method doesn't work because an iFrame is automatically added.

Methods for Salesforce Classic onTabSave()
onTabSave()
Registers and calls a callback method when a user clicks Save in a subtab’s Unsaved Changes dialog box. When using this method, call
in the callback method. This notifies the console that the custom save operation completed. In the
call to setTabUnsavedChanges()
, pass the first parameter as false
to indicate a successful save or true
to indicate an unsuccessful save. This method is only available in API version 28.0 or later.
Registering a callback method affects the user interface. When no save handler is registered, the user is presented with two options when closing a subtab with unsaved changes: Continue or Cancel. When a save handler is registered, the user is presented with three options when closing the subtab: Save, Don’t Save, or Cancel. In this scenario, the callback method registered is called when the user chooses Save.
Important: When using onTabSave()
with setTabUnsavedChanges()
:
•
Calling sforce.console.setTabUnsavedChanges(false,...)
closes the specified subtab. We recommend placing the call to sforce.console.setTabUnsavedChanges()
at the end of the callback method, as any subsequent save logic might not execute.
•
onTabSave()
works only on subtabs or their sidebar components. It doesn’t work on primary tabs.
•
Not calling sforce.console.setTabUnsavedChanges()
will have a severe effect on the user interface. For example, closing a primary tab with a subtab for which sforce.console.setTabUnsavedChanges()
has not been called prevents a
Saving...
modal dialog box from closing.
•
Any callback passed to sforce.console.setTabUnsavedChanges()
will not execute if the specified tab saves successfully and closes.
Note: Calling onTabSave()
from a custom console component prevents that component from refreshing when saving the subtab. For more information on custom console components, see “Customize a Console with Custom Components in Salesforce
Classic” in the Salesforce online help.

Response
This method is asynchronous, so it returns its response in an object in a callback method. The response object contains the following field:
Name

Type
boolean
Description
true
if the method call was successful; false
otherwise.
Methods for Push Notifications
Push notifications are visual indicators on lists and detail pages in a console that show when a record or field has changed during a user’s session. For example, if two support agents are working on the same case, and one agent changes the
Priority
, a push notification appears to the other agent so he or she spots the change and doesn’t duplicate the effort.
When administrators set up a Salesforce console, they choose when push notifications display, and which objects and fields trigger push notifications. Developers can use push notification methods to customize push notifications beyond the default visual indicators supplied by Salesforce. For example, developers can use the methods below to create personalized notifications about objects accessible to specific console users, thereby eliminating the need for email notifications. For more information, see “Configure Push Notifications for a Salesforce Console in Salesforce Classic” in the Salesforce Help.
Consider the following when using push notification methods:
•
Push notification listener response is only available for the objects and fields selected to trigger push notifications for a console.
•
When a Visualforce page includes a listener added by the addPushNotificationListener()
method, the page receives notifications. The listener receives notifications when there is an update by any user to the objects selected for triggering console push notifications and the current user has access to the modified record. This functionality is slightly different from push notifications set up in the Salesforce user interface in that:
–
Listeners receive update notifications for changes made by all users.
–
Listeners receive notifications when an object’s fields are updated or created, even if those fields aren’t selected to trigger push notifications; and the notifications don’t include details about what changed. For example, if
Status
on the Case object is set to trigger a push notification, but
Priority
on the Case object changes, a listener receives a notification that the case changed without specifying details.
–
Listeners don’t obey the
Choose How Lists Refresh
and
Choose How Detail Pages Refresh
push notifications settings in a Salesforce console.
–
The only way to stop receiving notifications is to remove listeners using the removePushNotificationListener() method.
•
Push notifications aren't available in the console in Professional Edition.

Methods for Console Events
JavaScript can be executed when certain types of events occur in a console, such as when a user closes a tab. The following standard events are supported:
Event Description Payload
sforce.console.ConsoleEvent.OPEN_TAB
Fired when a primary tab or subtab is opened.
Available in API version 30.0 or later.
•
id
— The ID of the opened tab.
•
objectId
— The object ID of the opened tab, if available.
sforce.console.ConsoleEvent.CLOSE_TAB
Fired when a primary tab or subtab with a specified ID in the additionalParams argument is closed. Or, fired when a primary tab or subtab with no specified ID is closed.
Available in API version 30.0 or later.
•
id
— The ID of the closed tab.
•
objectID
— The object ID of the closed tab, if available.
Note: For some objects (such as Email and
Case Comment), the tab is opened and closed immediately and no object ID is generated for the tab. In those cases, this field’s value is equal to the parent’s object
ID.
•
tabObjectId
— The object ID of the closed tab, if available.
Note: tabObjectId
is generally the same as objectID
. However, for tabs that close upon submission, no tabObjectId
is generated. In those cases, the value of this field is either empty or null. For an Email, the value is empty.
For a Case Comment, the value is null.

Console API Typographical Conventions
Typographical conventions are used in our code examples. Learn what Courier font, italics, and brackets mean.
Convention
Courier font
Description
In descriptions of syntax, monospace font indicates items that you should type as shown, except for brackets. For example:
Public class HelloWorld
Italics
In descriptions of syntax, italics represent variables. You supply the actual value. In the following example, three values need to be supplied:
datatype variable_name
[ =
value
];
If the syntax is bold and italic, the text represents a code element that needs a value supplied by you, such as a class name or variable value: public static class
YourClassHere
{ ... }
Bold Courier font
In code samples and syntax descriptions, bold courier font emphasizes a portion of the code or syntax.

< >
Console API Typographical Conventions
Description
In descriptions of syntax, less-than and greater-than symbols (< >) are typed exactly as shown.
<apex:pageBlockTable value= "{!account.Contacts}" var= "contact" >
<apex:column value= "{!contact.Name}" />
<apex:column value= "{!contact.MailingCity}" />
<apex:column value= "{!contact.Phone}" />
</apex:pageBlockTable >
In descriptions of syntax, braces ({ }) are typed exactly as shown.
<apex:page >
Hello {!$User.FirstName}!
</apex:page >
In descriptions of syntax, anything included in brackets is optional. In the following example, specifying
value
is optional:
data_type variable_name
[ =
value
];
In descriptions of syntax, the pipe sign means “or”. You can do one of the following (not all).
In the following example, you can create a new unpopulated set in one of two ways, or you can populate the set:
Set<
data_type
>
set_name
[= new Set<
data_type
>();] |
[= new Set<
data_type
{
value
[,
value2
. . .] };] |
