Senior VP of Product for Slack, Rob Seaman, said: Bringing Sales Cloud into Slack and providing new sales productivity tools and automations in Slack helps sellers save time and access the right people and information to make better decisions.

a number of its own artificial intelligence tools in a bid to save workers some precious time across its other products.

sales teams. Eligible accounts include Slack Business+ plans and above, in addition to Professional, Enterprise, and Unlimited Sales Cloud editions.
