New Feature

To-Dos & Saved pages

To-dos just got a lot less cluttered, and now there's a home for everything you've saved. In-progress and complete items live in one unified list instead of separate tabs, and a new Saved page holds everything you've archived or bookmarked. Add bulk actions, new filters and sorting, plus a Slackbot that can create, complete, and update your to-do reminders for you. Less digging, more doing.
New Feature

Slack Code API

Any custom agent can now tap into and create a code channel experience. The Slack Code API gives developers the tools to bring agentic development out in the open so the whole team can join in. Devs focus on what makes the agent useful, and Slack handles the interface.

Event-Triggered Tasks

Slackbot now acts the moment something happens, no prompt needed. When a deal moves stages in Salesforce or a win posts in a channel, Slackbot gets to work. You choose how much to delegate, from "ask me first" to "always for this task."
New Feature

Channel Insights

See how your channel is really doing, right inside the channel. Channel Managers get a new analytics view with activity trends and top messages, updated in near real time. Export it all to CSV when you need to share.
New Feature

Start conversation with Slackbot or Agent in Workflow Builder

Workflows can now kick off a conversation with Slackbot or an agent. Two new steps let you write your prompt once and add workflow variables to personalize it. When the workflow runs, the conversation opens in the user's sidebar with your prompt already sent. For Slackbot, add skills and knowledge sources, and it can pass structured outputs back to the rest of your workflow.
New Feature

Slackbot Mini

Full Slackbot now lives in a floating window on your menu bar. Reach it from a doc, a call, or another app without opening the Slack client. Ask, get your answer, get back to work.
Feature Enhancement

Agents in the DM sidebar

Your agents now sit right next to your teammates in the sidebar. Apps marked as agents, plus Slackbot, show up in the DM sidebar and the DM section of Home. Prefer it quieter? Opt out in Preferences.
Feature Enhancement

Reorder navigation bar items

Arrange your left sidebar navigation tabs in the order you use them. Set it once, and your most-used tabs are right where you expect them. Drag and drop from the sidebar or preferences!

New Feature

Slack CRM: Generate meeting insights & Salesforce tasks

Your CRM meetings now write their own notes, and their own to-do list. Upcoming external meetings surface right on the CRM Agenda and record activity timeline, and Slack auto-generates an AI call summary with action items after the call happens. Those action items convert straight into Salesforce tasks, no manual write-up required. Currently works with Google Calendar.
New Feature

Slackbot in Lightning

Slackbot now lives inside Salesforce Lightning, not just inside Slack. Sales managers and service agents can open a chat panel right next to a record to flag pipeline deals gone quiet or pull shipping status on a delayed order, without ever leaving the page. It's included in Business+ and Enterprise+ plans, and available to everyone else through Flex Credits.
New Feature

Work Object Embeds

Your apps now live inside Slack, fully interactive, not just a preview. Teams can view and work with real content, like documents, dashboards, or contract editors, right inside the conversation, without switching tabs. Every embed is reviewed and sandboxed for trust and security, and admins control access org-wide or by workspace. Gamma, Box, and Amplitude are live now, with more apps on the way.
New Feature

Slack Lists in the Slack MCP Server

AI assistants like Claude can now create, read, update, and delete Slack Lists and records through the MCP Server. This sits right alongside the existing search, messaging, and Canvas tools, so assistants can manage structured work, not just conversations. Lists become another surface your AI can actually operate on.
Feature Enhancement

Gmail Domain-Wide Auth (DWA)

Admins can connect Gmail to Slack org-wide with a single configuration, no more asking every user to connect their own account. It brings Gmail context straight into Enterprise Search, AI Answers, Slackbot, and Workflows, all built on the same shared DWA framework Slack already uses for other connectors. One setup, and the whole org gets the context.
Feature Enhancement

Slack MCP Server: File Upload & List User Channels

The Slack MCP Server just picked up two new tools: file upload and channel lookup. Agents can now post screenshots or charts as proof of work, and resolve a user's channels, DMs, and group DMs on the fly. Small additions, but they make agent output a lot more useful to verify and act on.
Feature Enhancement

HTML file rendering on mobile

HTML files now render as live, interactive pages right on your phone. Prototypes, dashboards, and agent output open as a sandboxed, fully interactive experience on iOS and Android, matching what you already get on desktop. Review and click through real HTML wherever you're working.
New Feature

Slackbot Analytics

Admins can now ask Slackbot for org-wide usage data instead of digging through dashboards. Member Analytics, launched in August, lets Org Owners, Admins, and Analytics Admins ask about member and usage data in plain language, with more datasets on the way. Alongside it, the Skills Admin Dashboard rolls out to 100% of commercial customers this month, giving every admin the same reporting to audit usage and promote top-performing skills.
