Getting Started (Core Clouds)

This page explains how Salesforce administrators can add Google Client Lightning components to standard Salesforce and custom Lightning apps.

All Google Client components are added using the Lightning App Builder.

  1. Open Salesforce in Lightning Experience.
  2. Navigate to the page where you want to add components:
    • Home page
    • App page
    • Record page
  3. Click the ⚙️ Setup icon in the top-right corner.
  4. Select Edit Page.

This opens the Lightning App Builder, where you can drag and configure components.
