Enable and Create Community in Salesforce Lightning | Getting start with Communities

Kapil September 27, 2020

In this blog you will learn how you can enable and create a new community.

Please follow below steps :

Click Settings icon and select Setup.
Type Communities in the Quick Find box, then select Communities Settings.
Select Enable communities.
Enter a unique name to be used as your domain name and click Check Availability.
Keep in mind that you can’t change the domain name yourself after you save it. You have to call Salesforce to change it.
Click Save, and then click OK.
If you see a dialog asking to open a Salesforce page in a new tab, click Open.

High-five, trailblazer! You’ve just created your custom domain.

Set Up a Basic Community

Now let’s set up a basic community. You should have been redirected to the All Communities page in Setup, but if not, enter Communities in Quick Find, and select All Communities.

Click New Community.
Select the template.
Click Get Started.
Enter a community name and URL.
Name the community <your first name and last name>.
Specify the optional URL. The URL should look something like this: https://[your name]-developer-edition.na111.force.com/xxxxxx.
It’s important that you specify a URL, even though this field says optional. This enables you to share your public URL with others.
Click Create.
Your community has been created in Preview status, which means that what you have created isn’t in the world yet.
