Data is the digital gold they say, and if businesses fail to maximize its true potential, it’s a wasted opportunity! However, transforming a business using cluttered data in the digital era is easy-peasy when teams use Salesforce CRM (Customer Relationship Management). And integrating Slack with this robust cloud-based CRM is just like icing on the cake!
Why Salesforce and Slack Integration is Essential?
Getting real-time notifications about Salesforce’s events into a dedicated Slack channel can help to organize omni-channel data, customer queries, marketing campaigns, etc., seamlessly. This directly boosts the productivity for all the teams involved in day-to-day operations!
Let us deep dive by understanding how the team’s productivity can be improved using Salesforce’s CRM integration with Slack.
Alerts with Real-time Notifications
Be it a new lead, a customer inquiry about a product, a quotation request, a reply to a support ticket, or a message from any of your teammates internally in Salesforce, this integration helps to get instant notifications in a designated Slack channel instantly. Everyone in the respective team can act fast based on what the trigger (message or notification) is in a particular Slack channel.
Say for example, if there’s an incoming lead from a customer in the Salesforce CRM, the notification will alert the “Leads channel” in Slack, and the same goes for the “Support Ticket” channel if there’s a new or updated support ticket query in Salesforce. Of course, these customized Slack channels must be created first and then they should be integrated with Salesforce accordingly to work in tandem.
Streamlines Marketing Efforts
The marketing team can make timely decisions with access to the customers’ data at their fingertips. This saves a lot of time and streamlines the efforts made by everyone involved in the marketing domain.
It also eliminates the usage of multiple platforms or say juggling between two or more platforms to create, manage, respond, and close the case or ticket. Overall, streamlined workflows can enhance the operational efficiency, thanks to the Salesforce Slack connector.
Eliminates Repetition
With the introduction of Agentforce, handling customer queries is fun. Agentforce handles most repetitive tasks with a custom agent (of course, it should be created based on your needs) which helps team members save a lot of time to respond to repetitive questions from customers in real-time. Say thanks to intelligent AI in Salesforce that helps teams to automate natural language queries from customers in efficient manner and answer them with accuracy.
Enhances Customer Support
Integrating Salesforce data in Slack ensures that the support team leaves no stone unturned to solve customers queries. When AI is limited to certain type of technical queries, the questions that remain unanswered by AI gets forwarded to the support team with real-time notifications to solve the queries manually.
However, the manual work of creating a case or ticket for a query that is unanswered is not required anymore from any of the customer support team members because of the Salesforce Slack integration that automates everything! Overall, the process expedites the customer support making Salesforce Slack workflow automation timeless.
