Create an Experience Cloud Site with the Automotive Template

Use Experience Cloud to give your partners or customers access to Automotive capabilities. You can use the predefined template, which includes the Automotive objects, to create a site for partners or customers. You can also use an existing site in your org, or create a site from scratch and add the Automotive objects to your Experience Cloud site.

To create a Digital Experience site: Create and Set Up Experiences

To set up a site, enable Experience Cloud in your org and clone the Partner User or Customer Community Plus user profile. See Create an Experience Cloud Site.

  1. From Setup, enter Sites in the Quick Find box, and select All Sites under Digital Experiences.
  2. Click New.
  3. Select the Automotive template, and click Get Started.
    If you want to create a partner portal to only collaborate on sales agreements, forecasts, and rebate programs, you can also use the Manufacturing template. But we recommend using the Automotive template because of the additional capabilities that it offers. Instead, you can assign the relevant Manufacturing permission sets to the partner user.
  4. Enter a name for the site, the domain name, and click Create.
  5. On the landing page, click Builder to customize and design the workspace for partners.
  6. To finalize your changes, click Publish.
  7. Click Administration, and go to the Members tab.
  8. Select which user profile can access the site.
  9. Select the permission sets that can access the site.
  10. Save your changes.
  11. Go to the Settings tab and click Activate.
    When the site is Active and welcome emails are enabled, users with the profiles or permission sets that you added receive a welcome email.
