New Feature

Slack Code

Coding agents can now work with your whole team, not just you. Slack Code brings AI coding out of private tabs and into dedicated code channels, where the conversation, code diffs, and live previews are visible to everyone. Tag in a coding agent from any conversation, and it spins up a channel to build, review, and ship together — the same review process engineers already trust, just open to the whole team.
New Feature

Slackbot Deep Research

Slackbot can now dig deep on open-ended questions, not just quick ones. Ask something open-ended, and Deep Research digs across your org's data and the web, reasoning through what it finds along the way, so you get a real answer instead of a quick one.
New Feature

Salesforce approvals in Slack

Salesforce approvals can now be routed straight into Slack. Powered by Salesforce flow orchestration, approvers see insights from both Slack and Salesforce in one place, right in their flow of work, so decisions happen faster.
New Feature

Slackbot Big Mode

Slackbot just got a full-screen workspace built for deeper work. Big Mode gives Slackbot a full-screen home inside Slack, made for longer research, writing, analysis, and file generation — more room to work without ever leaving the conversation.
New Feature

Slackbot Skill Sets

Slackbot skills can now travel together, not one at a time. Skill Sets let you bundle related skills and deploy them as a single package, so your team gets a coordinated set of capabilities instead of piecing them together one by one.
Feature Enhancement

Workflow Builder quality improvements

Workflows just got smarter about groups of things. Business users and ops teams can now build object collections of users, channels, or text, filter and select items from a List, and run any step across a whole collection or user group with the new Repeat step. Send one message to a list of channels, or run the same onboarding steps for every new hire in a group — no code required. A new radio button field, private-channel support for Summarize Channels, and shorter delay options round it out, giving you finer control over timing.
Feature Enhancement

Add MCP tools for Slack Lists

AI agents can now read, write, and manage your Slack Lists directly. Agents connected through Slack's MCP Server can search, create, and update Lists — adding records, updating items, and pulling full lists into whatever they're working on. It turns Lists into something your agent can actually use, not just something you build by hand.
Feature Enhancement

Seismic enterprise search data source

Your Seismic content now shows up right alongside everything else in Slack search. Connect it as an enterprise search source, and it surfaces in Slackbot and search results just like your other tools. One less place to look, one more reason to trust the search bar.
Feature Enhancement

Comment-only role for canvas

vases just got a safer way to share. Canvas owners and editors can now give people comment-only access, so reviewers can weigh in without accidentally editing the doc. Cleaner drafts, easier feedback.
Feature Enhancement

Sales tracker for existing Slack CRM teams

Teams on Slack CRM's older Contacts and Accounts views are getting a visual pipeline. It's a backfill-only rollout, so there's nothing to set up — your pipeline just shows up, making deals easier to track at a glance.

Feature Enhancement

Canvas Table of Contents

Long canvases just got easier to navigate. Canvas now auto-generates a table of contents from your headings, so readers can orient themselves, understand document structure at a glance, and jump to any section instantly. It stays current automatically — no stale manual ToC, no maintenance headache. Feature Enhancement
New Feature

Slackbot: Create Salesforce Channels

Salesforce channels, on demand. Ask Slackbot to spin up a Salesforce-connected channel for any record — no context switching, no manual setup. Just tell Slackbot what you need and it handles the rest.
New Feature

CRM Sales Tracker on Mobile & iOS Update Salesforce Record Quick Actions

Your pipeline, always in your pocket. The CRM Sales Tracker now lives on mobile, and iOS users can update Salesforce records with quick actions directly from their notifications. Close a deal, log a note, or move a stage — right from your phone.
New Feature

Slide Creation

Turn a Slackbot conversation into a deck. Ask Slackbot to create a Google Slides or Powerpoint presentation — from your own templates — and it builds one ready to share. From brief to slides without leaving Slack.
New Feature

Surfaces

Ask Slackbot for a report or dashboard and it builds one right in the conversation. Sort, filter, and drill in — then pin it to a channel tab so your whole team is working from the same live data. No BI tool required.
Feature Enhancement

Scheduled Status

Plan your status in advance. Set a custom status to activate at a future time — with a start time and an end time — and queue up to five at once. Ideal for travel, focus blocks, or anything you know is coming. Set it once, show up correctly every time.
Feature Enhancement

Agentforce DM — Messages tab

Agentforce DMs now have a standard Messages view. All your conversations with Agentforce agents live in one organized tab, making it easier to track what you've asked, what's been answered, and where to pick up.
Feature Enhancement

Merged Omniswitcher

One shortcut to rule them all. CMD+K now unifies navigation and search into a single, search-first experience. Find a channel, jump to a conversation, or ask Slackbot a question — all from the same place, without breaking your flow.
Feature Enhancement

Temporary Join a Channel

Drop in without committing. Join any public channel for Today, 48 hours, or 1 week — Slack auto-removes you when time's up. Temp-joined channels appear in their own sidebar section so they stay clearly separate from your permanent ones. Perfect for cross-functional projects or any time you need context without the clutter.
Feature Enhancement

Work Object bidirectional commenting

Comments now travel both ways. Leave a comment on a work object in Slack and it syncs back to the source — and vice versa. One conversation, no matter where it starts.
