Coveo and Salesforce community templates - Napili
Anyone tried to use coveo search inside the new Salesforce self-service community templates? I know you cant customize the templates themselves, but there are some customization you can do to the header/footer or use content blocks so curious to see if anyone has tried it or know if it would work.
The javascript UI needs it's resources and an authentication token in order to make queries.
It's possible to make the resources available through force.com. It's also possible to inject the Search Page HTML in the page using a javascript codeblock. For the authentication part, you can easily do a Rest Call to retrieve the authentication token, since you are logged in Salesforce.
I wouldn't qualify that as clean or easy, but there is a way to make it work.
Note that this is the first version of the community templates, it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine that Salesforce will allow people to build custom components down the road, where it will become way easier for us to integrate.
