Add Console Components to Apps in Salesforce Classic

After you create a console component, you can add it as a button in the footer of Salesforce console so users have access to it.

Note

Due to third-party cookie restrictions in modern web browsers, Visualforce pages can’t load in Salesforce Classic console apps when third-party cookies are disabled. See Visualforce Limitations in Salesforce Classic When Third-Party Cookies are Blocked.

From Setup, enter Custom Console Components in the Quick Find box, then select Custom Console Components.
Click New.
Type a name for your component.
In Button Name, type the label to display on the button users click to launch your component. For example, Chat.
In Button CSS, enter the in-line style used to define how the button looks to users who click it to launch your component. The styles supported include font, font color, and background color.
Type the width of the button to display in the console.
In Component, select Visualforce Page or Canvas App, and either type the name of your component, or click to find and select it.

Tip You can include Lightning components in Visualforce pages. See Lightning FAQ.
Type the height and width of the window used to display your component in the console.
To prevent users from changing the dimensions of the window used to display your component, click Fixed Width or Fixed Height.
Click Save.

Before users can access your component, you must assign it to a console. See Assigning a Custom Console Component to an App.
