Salesforce Success Community,Trailhead, and LinkedIn: Part 2

Display your Trailhead profile badges within the Salesforce Success Community

Hey Devs,

I wanted to take the time to explain a few things about your Salesforce Success Community profile, your Trailhead profile, your LinkedIn profile and how all of those things can work together.

Pretty much when it comes to these profiles we are talking about the integration of three different things:

1. Your Trailhead profile, which is what houses all of your badges.
2. Your Success Community profile, where you have joined groups and participate via Chatter.
3. Your LinkedIn profile.

First I showed how to link your social profiles to your Success Community profile.

Now I will show how to display your Trailhead profile badges within in the Salesforce Success Community:

1. Log in to the Success Community 
2. Navigate to your Profile
3. Navigate to Work and Experience 
4. Scroll Down to the Certifications and Badges section and click Link Trailhead Account
5. Input the email address for the Trailhead account that you want to connect and click Connect Account
6. Check your Email for a verification code
7. Return to the Work and Experience section, input your verification code, then click Complete Connection
8. Check the Show Salesforce Trailhead Badges on my profile checkbox
9. Click Save Changes

Congratulations! You should be all set. Please see the images below for more help.

The result of these steps will be the Trailhead logo showing in your Success Community Profile as shown below and your Badges displaying when you navigate to Certifications and Badges.

Note: To view your badges click on Certifications and Badges. When the Trailhead logo is clicked, there will be no action.

1) Log in to the Success Community.

2) Navigate to your Profile by clicking your name or My Profile.

3) Navigate to Work and Experience in the Edit menu.

4) Scroll Down to the Certifications and Badges section and click Link Trailhead Account

5) Input the email address for the Trailhead account that you want to connect and click Connect Account

6) Check your Email for a verification code

7) Return to the Work and Experience section, input your verification code, then click Complete Connection

8) Check the Show Salesforce Trailhead Badges on my profile checkbox

Note: Be sure that you have checked the Show Salesforce Trailhead Badges on my profile checkbox.

9) Click Save Changes

Test your connection by clicking on Certifications and Badges in the left menu of your Success Community profile.

Enjoy your newly upgraded profile!
