Where your team, your CRM and your agents work together.
We bring Slack, Slack AI, Sales Elevate and Slack Canvas into your Salesforce operating model — turning Slack into the collaborative surface for pipeline, service swarming and Agentforce interactions.
What Salesforce offers on Slack.
Slack, a Salesforce company, is the messaging and collaboration platform combining channels, huddles, Canvas, Lists and Workflow Builder with Slack AI (channel recaps, thread summaries, enterprise search), Slack Connect for secure external collaboration, Sales Elevate for CRM-in-Slack, and deep Agentforce integration so agents work alongside your teams.
What we hear from Slack leaders.
- 01Slack is treated as chat only — Sales Elevate, Canvas and Lists are dormant despite the licence spend.
- 02Service swarming and incident workflows aren't wired to Service Cloud, so response times slip.
- 03Slack AI and Agentforce-in-Slack need a security, DLP and Slack Connect governance model before rollout.
Where Slack programmes get stuck.
Slack is deployed as chat only — Sales Elevate, Canvas and Lists sit dormant.
Service swarming and incident workflows aren't wired to Service Cloud.
Slack AI, Agentforce-in-Slack and Workflow Builder are ungoverned or underused.
External collaboration via Slack Connect lacks a security and DLP model.
Where we automate Slack — end to end.
Every engagement targets a specific set of automation and AI plays, scoped so value shows up in weeks — not quarters.
