Manage Slack Sales Elevate

Sales Elevate is an add-on for Slack that integrates with Salesforce Sales Cloud and allows teams to update Salesforce objects, receive notifications for important deals and more in Slack. Once you’ve set up your Salesforce connection, you can manage Sales Elevate settings for your Slack workspace or Enterprise Grid organisation.

Note: Workspace primary owners (Business+) and members with the roles admin system role (Enterprise Grid) can assign the sales admin system role to members.


Connect Salesforce orgs

If you use multiple Salesforce orgs, you can connect up to 24 additional orgs once they’re connected to Slack.

  3. Click on the Salesforce org drop-down menu and select Add Salesforce org.

Note: Admins in Salesforce can manage member access to Sales Elevate by assigning the Slack Sales Elevate permission set.
