Introduction to Salesforce
Salesforce is a CRM software vendor that uses SaaS (Software as a Service). It enables companies to connect with customers, partners, and other enterprises. Customers are at the center of every business, and Salesforce makes it easier for businesses to communicate with existing customers and acquire new ones. Salesforce assists businesses in keeping track of consumers, gaining insights from data, and handling customer service and complaints. Salesforce’s purpose is to keep a close relationship between the customer and the firm. Salesforce allows users to keep track of contacts, generate reports, manage E-Commerce firms, and participate in social engagement.
Introduction to Slack
Slack is a Team Collaboration messaging platform designed to enhance real-time communication among team members. The software, like other instant messaging apps, provides users with Chat Rooms, Private Chat, and Direct Message options. Slack is compatible with a wide range of apps thanks to its high-performance API.
Slack messages are gradually replacing emails in many teams nowadays. As Slack is a better option to bulk emails and SMS, this is the case. A team leader or member can just send a message on Slack once, and it will be received by all members of their team.
Understand How Slack and Salesforce Work Together
Slack and Salesforce Integration are a little different than other programs. You’ll need to install the Service Cloud for Slack on your Slack account.
To fully integrate these platforms, you’ll need to connect your Salesforce Slack accounts and assign the needed rights after you’ve installed the Apps.
Slack requires access to the Salesforce API; thus, it’ll only operate with Salesforce’s Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited, or Developer Editions.
