            Lightning Bolt for Salesforce: Build Once, Then Distribute and Reuse

            Lightning Bolt for Salesforce lets you quickly build and distribute industry-specific Lightning Bolt Solutions to jump-start new org capabilities.

            Time equals money

            A Lightning Bolt Solution is a portable package that’s packed with power. It can combine custom Lightning apps, business process flows, and Experience Builder templates and pages in an easy-to-build and distributable form. Use a Lightning Bolt Solution to share or sell a solution on AppExchange, implement an Experience Builder site with a turnkey solution or new look, or configure automation. You can publish apps or flows without an Experience Builder template or include one when you want to apply your brand.

            A Lightning Bolt Solution combines one or more of the following:

            • Customized Experience Builder templates—A template includes a theme layout and CSS, along with pages, content layouts, and Lightning components. Alternatively, instead of a full template, you can also export a single Experience Builder page with its content layout and components.
            • Flow categories—A flow category contains one or more flows, making it easy to group flows for related business processes.
            • Custom apps—Adding customized apps lets you create solutions tailored to your industry.

            Lightning Bolt Solutions are flexible, so you can take advantage of them in many ways. Here are just a few examples.

            Example
            Example You’ve customized the Partner Central template to create an Experience Builder site with features that meet your particular business needs. You want to create several similar partner sites, but you don’t want to build each one from scratch. By exporting your customized template, you can reuse it and build as many branded sites as you need.
            Example
            Example You’re a consulting partner who specializes in creating solutions for the real estate industry. Your solutions feature a unique look, custom apps for finding mortgages, and automation that alerts sales people of properties with active prospects. With a Lightning Bolt Solution, you can create and export your solution in a way that’s easy to use. After you install your Lightning Bolt Solution in the customer’s org, you can further customize it to suit their needs. By building the bulk of the solution in your org and then distributing it to your customers, you can rapidly launch new solutions.
            Example
            Example You’re an ISV who builds a custom insurance agent app. The app includes automation to create coverage estimates and automatically notify customers of the results. Using a Lightning Bolt Solution, you can easily bundle your app and business process flows into a single package. Distribute the package to your customers to install in their Salesforce orgs, or market the solution on AppExchange.

            Package and Distribute Your Solution

            You can package and distribute solutions to use in other orgs and sites. After you create and upload a package, share the link privately with your clients, customers, or partners. Alternatively, publish your custom Lightning Bolt Solution as a managed package in AppExchange. Market your solution with an AppExchange listing in the same way that you list any other app, component, or consulting service. Describe your solution, pricing, support, and other details so that customers can determine whether your offering is right for them.
