Before You Begin
Microsites are high-performance websites often designed for specific opportunities and singular use cases. Before you start designing your microsite, we recommend that you keep these things in mind.
- The Microsite template offers limited support for standard components. For a list of supported components, see Standard Components for LWR Templates.
- To achieve the best possible performance at scale, we recommend serving microsites from a content delivery network (CDN). For more information about the Experience Cloud CDN, see Serve Your Experience Cloud Site with the Salesforce Content Delivery Network (CDN).
- Keep in mind the possible scale of your use case. Microsites have an upper limit of 12,000 concurrent lead form submissions per minute. If you’re worried about exceeding this limit, reach out to your account executive.
- Create a Microsite
Create your microsite using the Microsite template and customize the existing components to fit your company needs. Microsites run on the Lightning Web Runtime (LWR) platform so you can create beautiful, efficient websites. - Configure Microsite Layout and Create Navigation
The Header component, included with the Microsite template, includes theme settings and built-in navigation. - How Do Experience Cloud Forms Connect to Marketing Cloud Engagement?
You can connect a microsite to a Marketing Cloud Engagement data extension using the Marketing Cloud Form component. Contact information is gathered from your Experience Cloud sites and then sent to Engagement. The data that is collected from your site is momentarily stored in the Salesforce Core infrastructure and then sent to your data extension. The data transferred this way is only stored in Salesforce Core infrastructure for as long as it takes to call Marketing Cloud Engagement API. - Connect a Form Component to Marketing Cloud Engagement
Using the Marketing Cloud Form component, you can capture customer information from an Experience Cloud microsite and send it directly to a Marketing Cloud Engagement data extension. Built on the powerful LWR platform, this form component gives you the tools to easily collect contact information and the flexibility to store data where it best serves your company. - Send Visitor Information to the Salesforce Lead Object
Use the Lead Form component in the Microsite template to capture visitor information in your site and create a new Lead record in Salesforce. - Capture Visitor Information with the Lead Form Component
After you finish setting up your Guest User profile and configuring the correct object access, navigate to Experience Builder to configure the Lead Form component.
