Sales teams today are juggling more than just deals — they’re managing data, conversations, tools, and customer touchpoints across multiple systems. The challenge? Staying focused on selling while keeping everything aligned and up to date. Traditional CRMs alone can’t support the agility modern teams need. They need smarter, more connected tools.
That’s where Slack Sales Elevate steps in. Built by Salesforce, it integrates your CRM directly into Slack — your team’s central workspace — and transforms it into a high-performance sales hub.

Features of Slack Sales Elevate
1. Unified Workspaces: Conversations Meet CRM Context
Slack Sales Elevate seamlessly merges Salesforce Sales Cloud data with Slack’s intuitive collaboration environment. Through Salesforce Channels, teams can bring structured CRM data and unstructured team conversations into one shared view. This eliminates the back-and-forth of switching between apps, allowing sales reps, managers, and cross-functional partners to collaborate around opportunities in real time.
Instead of jumping between systems to track deal status or reference notes, teams work in a single space that shows current opportunity data alongside contextual Slack discussions. This approach not only boosts efficiency but also strengthens alignment among stakeholders, ensuring that everyone is on the same page at every step of the sales cycle.
2. Work Without Leaving Slack: Quick Actions + Instant Updates
One of the standout benefits of Slack Sales Elevate is its ability to keep sellers in their flow of work. Through embedded quick actions, reps can perform common CRM tasks, such as updating deal stages, assigning tasks, logging calls, or adding notes, without leaving Slack. It’s intuitive, fast, and drastically reduces the time lost to switching applications.
Additionally, thanks to bidirectional syncing, all updates made in Slack are automatically synced with Salesforce Sales Cloud. This means sales data remains current, clean, and actionable. By reducing friction in the update process, reps are more likely to maintain CRM hygiene, which in turn improves the accuracy of reports and forecasts.
3. AI-Driven Deal Visibility: Summaries, Insights & Alerts
Slack Sales Elevate includes built-in AI summaries that help sales teams focus on what matters most. AI-generated insights highlight key activities, risks, and opportunities across accounts, giving reps a strategic edge. These summaries are particularly useful during handoffs, pipeline reviews, or when catching up on fast-moving deals.
Real-time alerts further enhance visibility, notifying users when deals change status — whether they’ve moved forward, stalled, or been closed. These alerts are pushed directly into Slack conversations, so team members are instantly informed. As Agentforce becomes integrated, it will bring even more power by analyzing both structured CRM data and unstructured Slack conversations to deliver intelligent next steps.
4. Dashboards Where You Work: Sales Metrics + Goal Tracking
Personalized dashboards are no longer confined to the CRM interface. Slack Sales Elevate delivers role-based dashboards directly to every seller’s Slack workspace. These dashboards provide quick access to performance metrics, pipeline summaries, and critical KPIs — all within the same tool used for daily collaboration.
In addition to insights for individuals, teams can track collective progress toward revenue goals. Leaders can see open opportunities, deals at risk, and performance gaps at a glance. With this visibility, they can coach in real time and keep everyone focused on hitting targets.
5. Streamlined Team Operations: Templates and Automations
Repeatable success depends on consistent execution, and Slack Sales Elevate makes that possible through customizable sales process templates. Teams can replicate their most effective strategies using pre-built flows for account planning, mutual close plans, customer briefings, and more.
These templates are enhanced by AI-ready workflows that automate the manual steps often required to move deals forward, like triggering approval processes, escalating support, or scheduling follow-ups. By embedding automation directly into the sales conversation, teams not only save time but also ensure consistency across every deal.
6. Precision Pipeline Management: Deal Filters + Comprehensive Views
Sales leaders need more than dashboards — they need actionable, real-time views of what’s happening across the pipeline. Slack Sales Elevate provides that through customizable deal filters and list views, helping managers sort, group, and prioritize opportunities based on their most important criteria.
Whether it’s by forecast category, account type, or deal stage, these filters help managers identify where attention is needed, enabling timely coaching and strategic resource allocation. Reps also benefit by seeing which deals require follow-up or are trending off-track, improving overall deal hygiene and momentum.
7. Smart Activity Tracking: Automation Meets Accuracy
Sales reps often struggle to keep CRM data up to date — not because they don’t want to, but because manual logging is time-consuming. Slack Sales Elevate solves this with automated activity tracking workflows that make it easy to log meetings, calls, and updates without disrupting the flow of conversation.
Activities are captured and logged into Salesforce right from Slack. This improves the quality of CRM data without burdening the team, helping leadership make better decisions based on complete and accurate activity records.
8. Productivity on the Move: Mobile CRM and Collaboration
Today’s sellers are mobile — in the field, between meetings, or working remotely. Slack Sales Elevate gives them everything they need to stay productive from any device. Whether it’s updating a deal, adding customer meeting notes, or getting help from their team, reps can do it all through Slack’s mobile app.
This mobile access ensures that deals never lose momentum. Reps can act immediately, keeping communication fluid and CRM records up to date even when they’re away from their desks. It’s true agility for modern sales teams.
