Salesforce Cloud
Experience Cloud portals and communities on your Salesforce data
Insight
ForceFolks builds Experience Cloud portals for customers and partners, starting with external-user access and the records each role can see. Our manufacturer portal case combines live catalog data with warranty self-service. The scope should define the portal's purpose and access rules before the team builds its interface.
What is Experience Cloud used for?
Experience Cloud (formerly Community Cloud) builds external sites, customer portals, partner communities, help centers, self-service, directly on Salesforce data. Each user sees only the records and content their access allows. Nothing more.
Two things make or break it: the sharing and security model, and a UX people will actually use. Get the first wrong and you leak data; get the second wrong and adoption dies. We design for both up front: the partner-portal case study shows the pattern, with live ERP inventory and warranty self-service for distributors.
When does a company need help with Experience Cloud?
Experience Cloud help is needed when:
- Customers need self-service access to cases, orders, or knowledge.
- Partners need a portal to register deals or manage shared records.
- Support volume is high and deflection would help.
- An existing community has security gaps or poor adoption.
- You need a branded site tied to live Salesforce data.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Experience Cloud secure for external users?
Security depends on the sharing model, licenses, configuration and tests for each external-user role. ForceFolks designs those controls before exposing customer or partner records. Test denied access as carefully as successful access.
Can Experience Cloud reduce support volume?
It can when users can complete the right task without contacting support. ForceFolks measures the effect against the actual workflow; the manufacturer case reported 35% fewer dealer inquiries. Other portals need their own adoption and service measures.
Can you rebuild an old community?
Yes. ForceFolks can review an existing community’s access model, components and user journeys before planning changes. Retain useful functionality and test existing integrations rather than assuming a full replacement is necessary.
