With Trailhead, anyone can learn in-demand skills, earn resume-worthy credentials, and connect to opportunity to land a top job in the Salesforce ecosystem.

With 1300+ Community Groups across 90 countries, our amazing Trailblazer Community is the true heart of Trailhead and why we do what we do.

The Trailblazer Community is a core differentiator for Trailhead, and we’re driven to find new, innovative ways to empower you to learn and connect from anywhere.

Introducing Community in Trailhead GO

Cue the confetti — the number one most requested Trailblazer Community feature is here. We’re taking the Trailblazer Community mobile with Community in Trailhead GO!

Personalized just for you, Community in Trailhead GO puts your Trailblazer Community feed front and center in the Trailhead GO mobile app.

And it’s available now for both iOS and Android devices.

You can connect from anywhere — allowing you to network, collaborate, and connect with Trailblazers around the world, right from the palm of your hand.

The impact the Trailblazer Community has is huge, and engaging with it drives success.

According to a recent poll, more than 80% of Trailblazers said that learning through community participation has increased their productivity and innovation, and enabled them to discover new solutions.

Now, with Community in Trailhead GO, you can interact with groups you’re a member of, Trailblazers you follow, and topics you’re interested in with the new Collaboration Feed.

Post your own content in the Trailblazer Community to build connections and share updates, like an interesting Trailhead LIVE session you watched or a job posting for a Salesforce Developer that just opened at your company.

Share your knowledge and build your network

If you’re skilling up on mobile and want to seek input from the community, you no longer have to context switch to collaborate with other Trailblazers in Community Groups. Engage straight from your phone for an integrated, lightning-fast experience.

Post your own content, view updates, like and share posts and photos, and join featured groups in the Trailblazer Community just like you would on your desktop.

Community is how we connect learning with our Trailblazers — and we’re meeting you everywhere you are.

You can access the Trailblazer Community without ever leaving the Trailhead GO mobile app, allowing you to truly connect from anywhere.

Discover relevant content in the Collaboration Feed with the new search functionality.

Find featured groups, view a topic, or follow topics you care about while you skill up on the go.

Did you post a module to inspire learning or share a valuable trailmix in a Trailblazer Community Group? You can now stay on top of comments on your posts or mentions with push notifications, ensuring you never miss an update.

Connect to the global Trailblazer Community from anywhere

Salesforce Solution Architect Daniel Gorton started engaging with the Trailblazer Community and never looked back. He discovered that the greatest superpower of the Trailblazer Community is the exchange of ideas, experiences, and skills.

“Sharing knowledge helps expand our understanding of the platform, inspires us to innovate, and builds our courage to speak up and contribute what we’ve learned.”

Daniel was one of the first Trailblazers to receive access to our newest updates. Since joining the Community in Trailhead GO beta, Daniel has loved connecting with the Trailblazer Community anywhere, anytime with the addition of Community in Trailhead GO.

“That [Community] tab has already increased my engagement with and responses to our community big time, right from my phone! Thank you! Plus, when I do still get email alerts (from the main community site) I love that I am brought right to the post in the app.”

Fabien Taillon is a CTO, Salesforce Architect, and co-leader of the Paris Developer Group. This global Trailblazer is motivated to learn because Trailhead allows him to design his own education. He also received access to our newest update and was thrilled with the results.

“Après des années à en rêver, c’est désormais chose faite, la Trailblazer Community est facilement accessible depuis l’application Trailhead GO! Simple, réactif, intuitif, l’accès à la Communauté Salesforce est au bout des doigts.”

[“After dreaming about it for years, the Trailblazer Community is finally going mobile! Thanks to the Trailhead GO app, it’s now easier than ever, lightning-fast, and super intuitive to access the Salesforce Community on the go.”]
