Manage Sales Home in Slack
Sales Home in Slack is a surface where members with the Slack Sales Home User permission set can update Salesforce objects, set up and receive notifications for important deals, and more. Once you’ve set up your Salesforce connection, you can manage Sales Home settings for your workspace or Enterprise organisation.
Note: Workspace primary owners (Business+) and members with the roles admin system role (Enterprise subscriptions) can assign the sales admin system role to members.
Add Salesforce orgs
Once you’ve connected Salesforce and Slack, you can add orgs to Sales Home:
- From your desktop, click Sales in the sidebar.
- Click the cog icon.
- Click on the Salesforce org drop-down menu and select Add Salesforce org.
- Select Add a new Salesforce org, then click Connect.
Slack will automatically connect to Salesforce and begin syncing your data. This normally takes a few minutes, but can take longer for orgs with more data.
Note: Admins in Salesforce can manage member access to Sales Home by assigning the Slack Sales Home User permission set.
Set up Salesforce object Lists
Sales teams can use Salesforce Lists to easily update Salesforce objects in Slack. Users can see list views for any object that they have access to in Salesforce. You can also suggest up to 25 default Lists per object to surface specific Lists to your team when they update Salesforce objects in Slack.
- From your desktop, click Sales in the sidebar.
- Click the cog icon.
