Salesforce and Slack integration

Work on Salesforce deals moves into the Slack channels the team is sitting in anyway. Since Salesforce acquired Slack the integration covers native Salesforce channels and full access to CRM data. A team can run a deal, share pipeline updates and change records without leaving Slack.

Why companies connect Salesforce to Slack

Even in companies on Salesforce, reps spend around 65% of their time outside the CRM. What is said about a deal stays in conversations the CRM never sees, and writing it up gets postponed.

How we do it

The native Salesforce-Slack integration creates a dedicated channel per deal, notifies on every change and lets people work the CRM from the messenger. The data is current and it is in the context of the conversation.

Frequently asked questions

How does the native integration differ from third-party ones?

It goes deeper: Salesforce Channels inside Slack, CRM views embedded in the Slack interface, and actions taken directly on records. Third-party tools generally stop at notifications and simple commands.

Does it need Salesforce Enterprise Edition?

The basic integration works with any edition. Salesforce Channels and automatic channel creation need Professional Edition or above; the full feature set arrives with Enterprise.

How is Salesforce data kept safe inside Slack?

The integration respects Salesforce permissions - people see in Slack only what they can see in the CRM. Administrators can additionally control which fields and objects are exposed and who may join which channel.
