Amp Impact in Salesforce Digital Experiences

Salesforce’s Experience Cloud enables organizations to create digital experience sites to provide access to specific sections of Amp Impact for Implementation Partners, Funders, Grantees, and other stakeholders who require periodic access to a subset of data.

The functional areas typically exposed to these external stakeholders include elements of the Project Setup functionality, AddResults pages, and Performance Graphs.

Designing and configuring a digital experience site requires thorough planning and design and user adoption is often better with an iterative configuration and testing approach. This guide provides a high-level overview of the steps and some guidelines for Amp Impact-specific set up but we always recommend working with an Architect with experience in digital experiences.

Generally, setting up a digital experience site requires the following steps:

General User, Access & Permissions Set Up & Configuration

Organizations often start by defining the user groups and their access and permissions. There are many ways to set this up and we’ve shared a few guidelines and examples.

Set Up the Lightning Digital Experience Site

Next, you’ll choose a template and create the site, reviewing a few settings that pertain to Amp Impact.


General User, Access & Permissions Set Up & Configuration

Create Permission Set for Digital Experience Users

The first step is to create a permission set for the Digital Experience Users.

  1. Navigate to the setup interface.

  2. Type “Permission Sets” in Quick Find.

  3. Find “Amp Impact Admin” and click “Clone”. Set the following:

    1. Label: Amp Impact Community

    2. API Name: Amp_Impact_Community

  4. Click “Assigned Apps”. In the page that loads, click “Edit”.

  5. Move ampi.Amp Impact (ampi__Amp_Impact) and ampi.Amp Impact (ampi__Amp_Impact_Lightning) from the “Enabled Apps” list to the “Available Apps” list and click “Save”.

    1. Assigned Apps are not allowed for some Community User licenses.

  6. Open “Object Settings” and navigate to the relevant objects to update the permissions.

Set Up CSP Trusted Site Record

Experience Builder sites utilize Content Security Policy (CSP) to enhance security by safeguarding against malicious resources and component vulnerabilities.

    4. Ensure the "Active" checkbox is selected.

  4. In the CSP Directives section, check the box for "Allow site for frame-src" option.
