# Add custom context to the Hosted Insight Panel
> **Available since**
>
> This feature was introduced in the February 2024 release of Coveo for Salesforce version [5.6](https://docs.coveo.com/en/n5bj0150#february-2024-release-v5-6-minor-release).

To add [custom context](https://docs.coveo.com/en/3389/) to the Hosted Insight Panel, you must create a custom Apex class that implements the `CoveoV2.HostedCustomContextInterface` as described in this article.

To add custom context

. [Create an Apex class](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.code_manage_packages.htm&type=5) that implements the `CoveoV2.HostedCustomContextInterface` as follows:

**Example**

```java
global class MyCustomContext implements CoveoV2.HostedCustomContextInterface {
  public Map<String, Object> getCustomContext(Map<String, Object> data) {
    // Retrieves the record ID that's currently being accessed in the Hosted Insight Panel.
    String currentRecordId = (String)data.get('recordId');
    // Returns the map of custom context values that will be added to each query.
    return new Map<String, Object>{'key1' => 'value1', 'recordId' => currentRecordId, 'listOfValues' => new List<String>{'listValue1', 'listValue2'}};
  }
}
```

Where:

* `key1` is the [context](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1345/) key/value pair to add to each [query](https://docs.coveo.com/en/231/).

* `recordId` is the ID of the record that's currently being accessed in the Hosted Insight Panel.

* `listOfValues` is the array of context values to add to each query.

. Save the Apex class.

## What's next?

Once you've created an Apex class that implements the `CoveoV2.HostedCustomContextInterface`, you'll be able to select it from the [**Custom Context Provider** picklist](https://docs.coveo.com/en/m7ed8015#customcontextprovider) in the **Coveo Hosted Insight Panel** component to augment queries with the additional context returned by your custom Apex class.
