Salesforce Experience Cloud
Salesforce Experience Cloud creates branded digital experiences for customers, partners, and employees, including account portals, partner sites, help centers, support communities, and custom sites. Organizations can build with no-code tools and templates, low-code tools, or programmatic development. Sites use Salesforce org data and can connect with Sales, Service, Marketing, Commerce, and Industries applications. Salesforce describes adding Agentforce agents to automate workflows, answer questions, and guide visitors. The platform is available through web, Android, iOS, and APIs. Mobile Publisher can turn Aura and LWR sites into branded Google Play and Apple App Store apps, requiring its own license. Experience Builder sites do not run in the Salesforce mobile app, but work in supported mobile browsers or branded apps. Security options include authentication, encryption, clickjack protection, Content Security Policy, and Lightning Locker. Listed plans include prices from $2.00 per month, with annual billing terms; other editions and terms vary.
