What each tool sees on its ownShow less
Salesforce on its own
Salesforce sees leads, accounts and opportunities. It knows which campaign produced a lead only when someone records it there.
Timing. Salesforce opportunity stages move when someone updates them, so pipeline data is as current as the team's CRM habits.
Access. A connected app with read-only access to Lead, Contact, Account and Opportunity.
Slack on its own
Slack records what the team said about the business and when. Sales, traffic and spend live in other tools.
Timing. Slack timestamps every message, which makes it a record of when the team noticed and decided things.
Access. A Slack app installed to the channels you choose.
