Lightning Bolt for Partners

The Benefits of Leveraging Lightning Bolt
1. Let’s say you specialize in building partner relationship management (PRM) communities for the manufacturing or tech industries. With Lightning Bolt, you can build and export pre-packaged next-generation portals, websites, and communities that significantly reduce the time to deployment. After the Bolt Solution is installed on your customer’s org, you can further customize it to suit their unique needs.
2. By building the bulk of the solution in your org and then distributing it to your customers’ orgs, you can launch their communities in no time. Let’s say you’re an AppExchange Partner (ISV) who builds several custom Lightning components and a custom page to create an e-commerce feature for use in Community Builder. Now you can bundle the page and its components into a single package and distribute it to your customers.
3. Salesforce Lightning Bolt represents some of the top innovators from the Consulting Partner Community. Having a Lighting Bolt solution also gives you access to a wide range of benefits to promote your expertise and differentiate yourself:
Technology Benefits:
- - Product Management Support
- - Early access to new releases
- - Demo Org access
- - Pre-release Product Roadmap
- - AppExchange Listing
- - Community Cloud Academies
- - Field Sales Enablement
- - Access to Industry Leads
- - Partner Trailblazer Points
Ready to launch a new Lightning Bolt solution? Review the qualifications of a Lightning Bolt solution below, and then complete the application process:
In order to receive business plan approval, Salesforce requires the following collateral items in support of your solution:
- - Data Sheet
- - 2-3 minute video
- - Customer Success story (optional)
Be as thorough as possible in explaining your concept, paying special attention to how this solution was effective in closing and delivering your anchor wins. Be sure to outline in detail how this packaged solution applies to multiple customers within your target industry.
After formal review and approval, we will contact you to work with our team, and Salesforce will grant your Lightning Bolt Solution endorsement.
A: A Lightning Bolt solution comprises an exported community template that’s made up of a theme layout and CSS, along with pages, content layouts, and Lightning components. Bolt solutions seamlessly integrate with Salesforce and incorporate business logic, custom objects, industry best practices and more. Use the Customer Service (Napili) as a base to build your custom solution with standard pages and components, or create custom pages, layouts, and components of your own. After you’ve finished customizing, you can export it from the Developer section in the Settings area as a Bolt solution. When you export a Bolt solution, it appears in the Community Creation wizard in your Salesforce org, where you can use it as a base for building new communities.
A:Lightning Bolt is available in:
- - Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
- - Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions;
A: Bolt Solutions built by Consulting partners are accelerators and frameworks to enhance customer value and time-to-market. There may be unique commercial terms in limited circumstances. Bolt Solutions built by AppExchange Partners (ISVs) follow the standard AppExchange Partner process to launch the bolt solution on the AppExchange as a managed package. AppExchange Partners must undergo Security Review and have an AppExchange Partner contract in place.
