Top Salesforce Experience Cloud Interview Questions for 2023

Top Salesforce Experience Cloud Interview Questions & Answers for 2023.

Q1. What is Salesforce Experience Cloud?

Experience Cloud formerly known as Community Cloud is Salesforce’s digital experience platform (DXP) is built on the Customer 360. Experience Cloud helps you deliver connected digital experiences.

Q2. What can you do with a digital experience built with Experience Cloud?

Some of the common use cases of digital experience built with Experience Cloud are:

• Customer Service and Account Portals – You can empower your customers to find solutions to their customer-service issues on their own with access to your knowledge base, your service agents, and peer-to-peer support. In addition, give customers access to their data in a member portal.
• Partner Relationship Management and Channel Sales – Increase your and your partners revenue stream by collaborating on opportunities and deals. Onboard partners quickly by sharing content and training materials.

Q3. Explain Experience Cloud Licenses.

License Name	Description
External Apps	Custom digital experiences to engage any external stakeholder, including Brand Engagement and Customer Loyalty. Limited access to CRM objects. The External Apps license can be used with person accounts.
Customer Community	Business-to-consumer experiences with large numbers of external users who need access to case objects or knowledge. The Customer Community can be used with person accounts.
Customer Community Plus	Business-to-consumer experiences with external users who need access to reports and dashboards and need advanced sharing. The Customer Community Plus can be used with person accounts.
Partner Community	Business-to-business experiences that need access to sales data such as partner relationship management. The Partner Community can’t be used with person accounts.
Channel Account	Business-to-business sites and portals that calculate their usage based on number of partners instead of number of individual users.

Q4. What are Login-Bases Licenses?

Each community license can be either a member-based license or a login-based license. To use a login-based license, you first purchase a specific number of logins to be used every month. External users associated with that license consume one login each time they log into a site. However, logging in multiple times during the same day still only consumes one login and, once logged in, switching between sites doesn’t consume extra logins. The ratio between the number of monthly logins you purchase and the number of login licenses that are provisioned in your org is 1–20.

Member-Bases Licenses	Login-Based Licenses
Customer Community	Customer Community Login
Customer Community Plus	Customer Community Plus Login
Partner Community	Partner Community Login
External Apps	External Apps Login
Channel Account	Channel Account Login

Q5. Do Experience Cloud sites have user or role limits?

Following license types recommended based on the expected number of users listed below:

License Type	No of Users per Org
Partner Community, Channel Account, or Customer Community Plus	1+ million
Partner Community, Channel Account, or Customer Community Plus with Account Role Optimization (ARO)	10+ million
Customer Community or External Apps	100+ million

Q6. What is Account Role Optimization?

Account role optimization (ARO) is used to ensure the best performance possible for Experience Cloud Sites. ARO minimizes the number of roles created for users with Customer Community Plus and Partner Community licenses. With ARO enabled for an external role-based user who is the only external role-based user on the account, a shared person role is created and assigned to the user. It rolls up to the account owner.

• Customer Account Portal – for customers to access and update their account information

• Build Your Own (LWR) – based on the new Lightning Web Runtime (LWR) platform

Q16. How can you tell Customers when there’s too much traffic on your Experience Cloud site?

When your site has higher than usual traffic, customers see the Too Many Requests (TMR) page. The page refreshes every 30 seconds and redirects customers when the site is available. You can customize the page to fit your brand, or use it as is. Find it in the Pages menu in Experience Builder. The TMR page is enabled for sites using enhanced domains and Salesforce’s CDN for Digital Experiences.

The Too Many Requests page is enabled for all sites that use Salesforce’s CDN for Digital Experiences.

Q17. What are Topics in Salesforce Experience Cloud?

Navigational, featured, and content topics are a fantastic way to organize information and content in an Experience Cloud site. Use topics to structure your site’s content or highlight key discussions. You can create topics or use the topics that organically emerge from site member posts.

Site members can keep up-to-date on topics by following them and, optionally, receiving email notifications for topics they follow.

Q18. What is a Sharing Set in Salesforce Experience Cloud?

A sharing set grants site users access to any record associated with an account or contact that matches the user’s account or contact. You can also grant access to records via access mapping in a sharing set. Access mappings support indirect lookups from the user and target record to the account or contact. For example, grant site users access to all cases related to an account that’s identified on the users’ contact records.

Q19. What is a Share Group in Salesforce Experience Cloud?

Share groups allow you to share records owned by high-volume Experience Cloud site users with authenticated internal and external users.

High-volume users are limited-access Experience Cloud site users, intended for orgs with many thousands to millions of external users. Because high-volume users don’t have roles, performance issues associated with role hierarchy calculations are eliminated. Use a share group to share records owned by high-volume site users.

Share groups apply across Experience Cloud sites and are associated with sharing sets.

Q20. What is Account Role Optimization?

If you expect to have a large volume of business accounts with a single Experience Cloud user, we recommend enabling account role optimization (ARO) to ensure the best performance possible. ARO minimizes the number of roles created for users with Customer Community Plus and Partner Community licenses. The fewer roles, the better the performance of your Experience Cloud site.

With ARO enabled for an external role-based user who is the only external role-based user on the account, a shared person role is created and assigned to the user. It rolls up to the account owner. Without ARO, the default number of site roles (1 to 3) is created and assigned to the user. This optimization can replace the need for possibly thousands of account roles.
