What is Seismic?
Seismic is a Sales Enablement platform built to:
Help sellers find, share, and track the marketing content they provide to customers and prospects,
Help marketers manage all marketing content in one place, as well as gain insights into the performance of the content.
The integration with Lessonly allows companies to automatically bring Lessonly content into the Seismic platform.
Sales enablement leaders can share and promote Lessonly lessons within Seismic, similar to other pieces of content.
With this integration companies can house all their training and marketing enablement content in one platform. This makes it easier, and more streamlined for sellers to locate what they're looking for.

Seismic <> Lessonly Integration Features
Unified UI
The Unified UI allows users to find and interact with Lessonly content from within Seismic.
After the Lessonly application is installed and configured, all users in the Seismic tenant are able to see a new Lessonly icon on the main menu in Seismic.
Once a Lessonly session is established, users can utilize Lessonly features from within Seismic.
If a user finds a link to Lessonly content somewhere within Seismic (for example, a Seismic Page), and selects the link, the link opens in the Lessonly Unified UI in Seismic instead of in a new browser tab.
Lessonly links can appear in the following locations in Seismic:
In a DocCenter profile (Seismic's landing page)
On a Seismic Page
On the Instructions card next to another piece of Seismic content
In Global Search results
Global Search
The Global Search provides the ability to search for both Seismic content and Lessonly lessons using Seismic search.
When reps search in Seismic, and there are lessons associated with their search the lessons appear in the search results. The lessons appear in a separate tab of search results named Lessonly so the reps are clear about what results are Seismic content vs. Lessonly training.
Consolidated Insights
With Consolidated Insights, users can view the data about how training and content usage lead to real results.
There are three default dashboards:
Training engagement - overview of how your users are engaging with Lessonly training.
Training impact - insights around how Lessonly training activity correlates to Seismic content usage.
Training Impact Enhanced - it builds upon the Training Impact dashboard by providing insights around how Lessonly training activity correlates to CRM sales success metrics.

How to Enable the Lessonly <> Seismic Integration?
Prerequisites:
The customer needs a Seismic Premium account with Full Control (System Administrator) permissions.
The user needs to be a Lessonly admin.
To begin, please reach out to the Lessonly Support team at support@lessonly.com asking a member of the team to enable the Lessonly <> Seismic integration.
Five Steps to Installing the Lessonly <> Seismic Integration
Step 1: Install the Lessonly App
In the Seismic platform, install the Lessonly app from the Seismic app catalog:
On the main menu, select Admin > System Settings.
Under Manage Apps, select My Apps.
Select the Browse Apps tab.
Find the Lessonly app and select the Lessonly icon.
Select Install.
Important Note
Steps 2-4 helps connect the Seismic instance to the Lessonly instance.
Although not required, Lessonly's recommendation is to connect them using a general Seismic admin account login such as admin@yourcompany.com or something similar.
Otherwise, due to a limitation of OAuth connection, if the person setting up the integration is deactivated, the integration will have to be reconfigured.
Step 2: Configure the Lessonly App
In the Seismic configuration options, enter the Lessonly subdomain and API key.
On the main menu, select Admin > System Settings.
Under Manage Apps, select My Apps.
Find the Lessonly app and select the Lessonly icon.
Select the Configuration tab.
Select Allow in the Access & Permissions window.
The Lessonly app configuration window opens.
Under Lessonly Account, fill in the subdomain and API Key boxes.
Select Save.
Important Note
The subdomain and API key can be found in the Lessonly platform by navigating to the Settings tab and selecting the API and Webhooks section.
Step 3: Configure the Lessonly app permissions.
The Lessonly app permissions allow the user to enable or disable each Lessonly integration feature.
All features are enabled by default.
To disable or enable any of these features, use the following procedure:
On the main menu, select Admin > System Settings.
Under Manage Apps, select My Apps.
Find the Lessonly app and select the Lessonly icon.
Select the App Permissions tab.

Important Note:

Step 5: The integration is now complete!
