On June 3, 2025, Salesforce launched the integration of Slack into its existing Customer 360 platform, creating a unified system that combines AI, customer analytics, and human conversation, all flowing together in one seamless experience.
This is a milestone in workplace collaboration, as Salesforce also mentioned that it will now be easier than ever for employees to communicate with one another, involving their customers, on the Salesforce platform.
Salesforce calls the announcement "Slack + Salesforce: One Conversation, Full Context, Unlimited Action." It aims to put an end to fragmented workflows and improve cross-team collaboration and action.
The focus of this update is the addition of Salesforce Channels, which allows linking CRM records to Slack workspaces. Every opportunity, account, or support ticket now has an associated Slack conversation powered by Salesforce data and AI, which happens in real-time.
Instead of switching applications or going through dashboards, collaborators and team members can work in Slack. Every message is based on real-time customer context. The goal of this change is to enable the transformation of records from stagnant status into discussions that bring action.
With Salesforce channels, we’re breaking down barriers between customer data and teamwork, setting a foundation for powerful collaboration with digital labor, and strengthening Slack’s role as the conversational interface for Salesforce’s deeply unified platform. - Denise Dresser, CEO of Slack at Salesforce
For us, one of the most important parts of Tableau Pulse is Slack’s streaming integration, which goes live on June 13th. This integration means that dynamic analysis will be integrated into Slack chats. Teams will also receive automated notifications, visually portrayed updates, and summaries powered by AI, exactly where they work together.
Now, all marketers, service teams, and sales reps do not have to wait for reports to come in or check a million dashboards to take action on data. What do we get? The whole process of gaining insight and taking action is performed repeatedly and continuously, all within Slack.
This integration isn’t about Slack’s mere placement within Salesforce’s ecosystem; it’s deeply transformative. Integrating Slack with Salesforce's CRM brings unparalleled capabilities as companies can now have a common operational workspace for humans and AI in parallel assistance.
Slack AI and Einstein Copilot have become one subsystem of a broader telecommunication framework, thus enabling the accomplishment of higher-grade information retrieval, task automation, and quicker deal closures.
“Salesforce channels have transformed how our Account Management and Services teams quickly swarm on high-priority cases, eliminating context-switching and improving the ability for leaders to jump in and find new opportunities. With Agentforce in Salesforce channels, digital teammates will exponentially increase our teams' capacity to resolve cases with unprecedented speed. It's the next level of collaboration: Humans working alongside agents to move work forward." – Christine McHone, Global Slack and Salesforce TMT industry Leader, Slalom.
This update comes at a critical time for U.S. organizations dealing with remote work, accelerating digital change, and evolving customer expectations.
Every company, from scale-ups to established enterprises with global teams, can take advantage of Cypress Integration Solutions and Salesforce Slack’s deeper integration to:
Salesforce considers this update pivotal to its vision of Customer 360. A universe in which every dialogue occurs within a context, every team is enabled, and every action relies on real-time synchronized intelligence.
This is not just a feature; it is a complete transformation in the evolution of work because Slack is now the new interface of Salesforce.
We expect full availability of the new Salesforce Channels alongside the Tableau analytics integration with Slack by the end of June 2025.
