Strengthen connections with strategic partners

Accelerate your business by staying close to partners, to take advantage of new joint opportunities as they arise. When you connect with partners in a Slack channel, it’s easy for both sides to stay on top of updates and new developments.

Business development teams use Slack Connect to:

Keep a pulse on late-breaking updates, so you can pivot as needed
Loop in subject-matter experts from both sides, like marketing or legal, to help finalize a partnership agreement

A channel that’s shared with a partner looks and feels like a channel you use with your internal team. People from up to 20 different companies can join, so everyone can stay aligned and drive results in one shared space.

3. Wait for your partner to accept

Pour yourself a cup of tea. Once your partner clicks the link, they’ll be taken back to Slack, where they can accept the invite and set up the channel on their end.
