Today at Salesforce’s gigantic Dreamforce conference in San Francisco, Slack unveiled product innovations that make it even more productive for teams to work together in Slack.
The updates allow Slack users to pull in actionable data directly from Salesforce Customer 360 and get more value from Slack as their digital HQ – a place where workflows between your people, systems, partners, and customers.
Slack Canvas is a new surface in the digital HQ that will transform how teams can, curate, organize, and share critical resources. Paired with the Slack platform, anyone can customize a Canvas with time-saving automations, plus pull in data from systems of record, like Customer 360. Slack Canvas will be available next year.
Slack Huddles now builds on its audio-first experience by offering teams, lightweight video, multi-person, screensharing, message threads, and more to live co-working sessions in their digital HQ. These features start rolling out today, and will be generally available to all users in the coming weeks.
The new Slack platform is available to developers. With a new set of developer tools and modular, reusable building blocks, it’s now faster and easier for them to create, customize, and share workflows that automate work for the teams.
Slack Partner Industry Solutions helps customers across industries navigate the new era of digital transformation. Slack-certified consulting partners like Accenture, IBM and Slalom are launching the first wave of solutions for industries such as financial services, manufacturing, communications, retail, media, and technology.
