Press Release: Salesforce adds custom automation in Slack to create powerful workflows!

Salesforce, the leading CRM platform, as promised brings in more productivity to its platform. Currently, in Salesforce there is a unified view, a single dashboard giving you a snapshot of your entire operations. It’s showing you valuable data from all touch points in one window for your teams to amplify their productivity. 

Its integration with Slack, the productivity-first tool, is now more productive than ever. Now you can customize your workflows even triggered by actions happening in third-party integrations. It will get embedded with its quick plug-and-play, directly into your Slack channel!

Let’s get into details

Slack is all about a collaboration-first approach providing its users with a simple, delightful, and efficient set of tools to make everyone more productive. Aligning with their core ideology, slack worked to include custom workflows.

Through this all-new workflow builder, teams will be able to turn inefficient processes into automated workflows. Automation already saves time by 35% from automation across Slack. How does it help? It takes over the process in one tool and collaboration in another, and with one tool you can do both. 

You have various ways to integrate tools and templates to help you quickly get started. With a few clicks, you can share, and use workflows across Slack. With workflow connectors, you can easily automate tasks across multiple tools like Google Sheets, DocuSign, Jira, Asana, and more. 

What’s better is that it is all no-code meaning it is available to people having no tech skills. Once automation is created you can find it in an automation hub with apps and workflows in one place. Different teams can even copy these workflows and customize them to their process.

Working with it is fairly easy, Just a few steps like:

• Create a new project channel for your team.
• Invite the team to the channel
• Begin the project into Asana, right from within the channel
• Start the click-off call in Zoom from the channel

You see no jumping between tools. One Slack channel has all the tools in a single place, you’re never going to open different tabs now.

But this is all in Slack, how does it link to Salesforce?

Well, in Salesforce you can integrate Slack as your collaboration tool thus you get to use one window for all, now in Salesforce. The equation is

Salesforce + Slack + Custom workflows = Build custom workflows in Slack from Salesforce!

Before this, an action in Salesforce and Slack would trigger the workflow but now with this enhancement, any action happening in any third-party app can automatically start a workflow in Slack. You get more than 50 pre-built templates, having prompts in a fill-in-the-blanks way. 

Further, you can even create custom apps using Slack’s developer tools, allowing developers to build powerful solutions that make custom workflows much easier. Developers get more programming languages to code options like JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and Java to create these.

What does this Mean for Businesses?

So here it is, a workflow builder in Salesforce. A no-code automation tool, to automate routine work. You boost your team’s productivity by bringing all the required tools in one place. Businesses will have benefits like:

• No-code customization
• User-friendly automation
