## Operational Requirements for the Chatbot

The Student Success chatbot is an optional Einstein Bot template (not a Salesforce app). To use Einstein Bots in your org, make sure that you have the correct licensing requirements.

See [Einstein Bots Requirements](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleview?id=service.bots_service_requirements.htm&type=5) in Salesforce Help.

## Installation Prerequisites for the Chatbot

Before you install Student Success Chatbot, complete these prerequisites.

1. Install Student Success Hub.
    
    Student Success Hub is a paid product. Student Success Chatbot requires a Student Success Hub org that is licensed and configured for student users with either a Customer Community Plus license or a Customer Community Plus Login license. For more information, see [Install Student Success Hub for Higher Education](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sfdo.ssh_setup_install_hed.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Learn how to install Student Success Hub for a higher ed org, including the core managed packages and required unmanaged metadata.").
2. Install Digital Engagement.

Note

The Student Success Chatbot deploys unmanaged metadata, so it doesn't appear in the list of Installed Packages in Setup, and you don't receive automatic pushes for new versions.

Install the Student Success Chatbot metadata only once. Any customizations that you make are overwritten if you install again. Don't install to a live production environment. Instead, deploy the chatbot to a new sandbox environment, customize configurations for your institution, and then migrate to production.

1. Go to the [Student Success Chatbot installer page](https://install.salesforce.org/products/student-success-chatbot/latest).
2. Log in to the correct Salesforce org.
3. Wait for the installer to retrieve information about your org.
4. Click **Install**.

The installation process can take some time to complete.
