Set up the Web Content (Sitemap) connection to start the flow of data into Data Cloud.

User Permissions Needed 
To create a connection:System Admin profile or Data Cloud Architect permission set

It’s your obligation to ensure that you have the rights to the data collected using this feature. Salesforce disclaims all liability with respect to such data collected.

Before you begin:

  • Verify your admin has enabled firewalls on the system you want Data Cloud to connect to by including these IP addresses to your allowlists.

  1. In Data Cloud, click Setup, and select Data Cloud Setup.

  2. Under External Integrations, select Other Connectors.

  3. Click New.

  4. On the Source tab, select Web Content (Sitemap) and click Next.

  5. Enter a connection name and a connection API name.

  6. To allow the sitemap connector to access your website, select an authentication method from the dropdown menu. If your website requires credentials, enter a username and password. Ensure that the username you provide has the necessary access to the content you want to ingest, as the connector gets the same access permissions as this user.

  7. Provide a valid URL of an XML sitemap ending with /sitemap.xml (for example: https://help.yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml). URLs for Gzip-compressed XML sitemaps are also supported.

  8. If your website requires a specific user agent, customize the User Agent field string. Otherwise, the connector uses the default user agent.

  9. To review your configuration, click Test Connection.

  10. Click Save.

At this point, Data Cloud creates the connection, and you can now create data streams.
