How Do I Add Ambition to Salesforce Lightning?

Last updated: November 12, 2026

The Managed Package includes two Lightning Components: the Ambition Lightning Widget, a full Ambition view, and the Ambition Lightning Sidebar Widget, a compact view of scores, metrics, and Competitions. Either one can sit on a Lightning page or open from the Utility Bar.

Required permissions:

  • Access to Setup in Salesforce is required to edit Lightning pages and apps.

  1. In Salesforce, go to Setup and search for Lightning App Builder in the Quick Find box.
