Manage Slackbot access to connected Salesforce organisations

Slackbot can find information from any Salesforce orgs connected to your Slack workspace or Enterprise organisation. By default, Slackbot can create or update records. Owners and admins can restrict access to certain orgs if they’d like, and decide which Salesforce record actions Slackbot can take. 

Note: When generating a response that includes Salesforce data, Slackbot will only include information available to people based on their permissions in Salesforce.
