What Is the AgentExchange Partner Console?
The AgentExchange Partner Console is the complete business management site for ISV partners and consultants with AgentExchange listings. It includes AgentExchange listings, technologies, analytics, and marketing.
Prep to Use the Partner Console
Any ISV partner or consultant can access the Partner Console. But you'll get the most out of the console if you’re working on a solution—such as an app, agent, or component—that you want to share with the Salesforce community, or you’re ready to publish a consultant listing.
If you’re listing a solution on AgentExchange, here’s how to gauge if it’s ready to list.
- You’re familiar with the steps to Publish Your Solution on AppExchange.
- You’re ready to start and complete your solution’s AgentExchange Security Review. Salesforce Platform packages, Marketing Cloud API solutions, and Salesforce Platform API solutions require security review, and other solution types don’t.
Access the Partner Console
Accessing the Partner Console is simple.
- Log in to the Partner Community.
- Click Publishing.
You’re automatically authenticated into the AgentExchange Partner Console. How secure and fast!
Tour the AgentExchange Partner Console
The AgentExchange Partner Console home page is the default landing page. In the Partner Console, you create new listings, connect technology–such as your license management org or your managed package–to the console, and manage your in-progress and published listings.
Listings
Listings (1) is where you create new consultant and solution listings through the guided Listing Builder experience, submit your listings for approval, and publish them to AgentExchange. Also, use Listings to manage your in-progress and published listings.
Technologies
Technologies (2) is an important component of the AgentExchange Partner Console. It houses everything dealing with:
- Technology that you connect to your solution, including your orgs, managed packages, and APIs
- Optional, but encouraged, add-ons that help differentiate your listing like demos, test drives, and trial templates
In Technologies, you also start and manage the AgentExchange required security review of Salesforce Platform packages, Marketing Cloud API solutions, and Salesforce Platform API solutions. Other solution types don’t need security review.
Notifications
Notifications (3) alert you to things you must fix or review on your in-progress listings.
Company Info
Any great AgentExchange listing starts with accurate company details, such as company name, description, and contact details. Also use Company Info (4) to add logos to help your business stand out.
Your Analytics
Your Analytics (5) provides you with your solution’s performance metrics, such as tile views, tile hovers, and lead events. Also accessible from the Analytics subtab, use Analytics to check on how many potential customers have viewed your listing, have taken test drives, and more. These data help you improve your listing and attract the right mix of customers.
Your Listings
On the home page, Your Listings (6) displays up to four published listings or in-progress listings. Your published listing tiles show you a preview of exactly what your customers see on AgentExchange. If you’ve more than four listings, click View All Listings to view your whole library of listings.
