New Feature

Slack CRM: Generate meeting insights & Salesforce tasks

Your CRM meetings now write their own notes, and their own to-do list. Upcoming external meetings surface right on the CRM Agenda and record activity timeline, and Slack auto-generates an AI call summary with action items after the call happens. Those action items convert straight into Salesforce tasks, no manual write-up required. Currently works with Google Calendar.
New Feature

Slackbot in Lightning

Slackbot now lives inside Salesforce Lightning, not just inside Slack. Sales managers and service agents can open a chat panel right next to a record to flag pipeline deals gone quiet or pull shipping status on a delayed order, without ever leaving the page. It's included in Business+ and Enterprise+ plans, and available to everyone else through Flex Credits.
New Feature

Work Object Embeds

Your apps now live inside Slack, fully interactive, not just a preview. Teams can view and work with real content, like documents, dashboards, or contract editors, right inside the conversation, without switching tabs. Every embed is reviewed and sandboxed for trust and security, and admins control access org-wide or by workspace. Gamma, Box, and Amplitude are live now, with more apps on the way.
New Feature

Slack Lists in the Slack MCP Server

AI assistants like Claude can now create, read, update, and delete Slack Lists and records through the MCP Server. This sits right alongside the existing search, messaging, and Canvas tools, so assistants can manage structured work, not just conversations. Lists become another surface your AI can actually operate on.
Feature Enhancement

Gmail Domain-Wide Auth (DWA)

Admins can connect Gmail to Slack org-wide with a single configuration, no more asking every user to connect their own account. It brings Gmail context straight into Enterprise Search, AI Answers, Slackbot, and Workflows, all built on the same shared DWA framework Slack already uses for other connectors. One setup, and the whole org gets the context.
Feature Enhancement

Slack MCP Server: File Upload & List User Channels

The Slack MCP Server just picked up two new tools: file upload and channel lookup. Agents can now post screenshots or charts as proof of work, and resolve a user's channels, DMs, and group DMs on the fly. Small additions, but they make agent output a lot more useful to verify and act on.
Feature Enhancement

HTML file rendering on mobile

HTML files now render as live, interactive pages right on your phone. Prototypes, dashboards, and agent output open as a sandboxed, fully interactive experience on iOS and Android, matching what you already get on desktop. Review and click through real HTML wherever you're working.
New Feature

Slackbot Analytics

Admins can now ask Slackbot for org-wide usage data instead of digging through dashboards. Member Analytics, launched in August, lets Org Owners, Admins, and Analytics Admins ask about member and usage data in plain language, with more datasets on the way. Alongside it, the Skills Admin Dashboard rolls out to 100% of commercial customers this month, giving every admin the same reporting to audit usage and promote top-performing skills.

New Feature

Slack Code

Coding agents can now work with your whole team, not just you. Slack Code brings AI coding out of private tabs and into dedicated code channels, where the conversation, code diffs, and live previews are visible to everyone. Tag in a coding agent from any conversation, and it spins up a channel to build, review, and ship together — the same review process engineers already trust, just open to the whole team.
New Feature

Slackbot Deep Research

Slackbot can now dig deep on open-ended questions, not just quick ones. Ask something open-ended, and Deep Research digs across your org's data and the web, reasoning through what it finds along the way, so you get a real answer instead of a quick one.
New Feature

Salesforce approvals in Slack

Salesforce approvals can now be routed straight into Slack. Powered by Salesforce flow orchestration, approvers see insights from both Slack and Salesforce in one place, right in their flow of work, so decisions happen faster.
New Feature

Slackbot Big Mode

Slackbot just got a full-screen workspace built for deeper work. Big Mode gives Slackbot a full-screen home inside Slack, made for longer research, writing, analysis, and file generation — more room to work without ever leaving the conversation.
New Feature

Slackbot Skill Sets

Slackbot skills can now travel together, not one at a time. Skill Sets let you bundle related skills and deploy them as a single package, so your team gets a coordinated set of capabilities instead of piecing them together one by one.
Feature Enhancement

Workflow Builder quality improvements

Workflows just got smarter about groups of things. Business users and ops teams can now build object collections of users, channels, or text, filter and select items from a List, and run any step across a whole collection or user group with the new Repeat step. Send one message to a list of channels, or run the same onboarding steps for every new hire in a group — no code required. A new radio button field, private-channel support for Summarize Channels, and shorter delay options round it out, giving you finer control over timing.
Feature Enhancement

Add MCP tools for Slack Lists

AI agents can now read, write, and manage your Slack Lists directly. Agents connected through Slack's MCP Server can search, create, and update Lists — adding records, updating items, and pulling full lists into whatever they're working on. It turns Lists into something your agent can actually use, not just something you build by hand.
Feature Enhancement

Seismic enterprise search data source

Your Seismic content now shows up right alongside everything else in Slack search. Connect it as an enterprise search source, and it surfaces in Slackbot and search results just like your other tools. One less place to look, one more reason to trust the search bar.
Feature Enhancement

Comment-only role for canvas

vases just got a safer way to share. Canvas owners and editors can now give people comment-only access, so reviewers can weigh in without accidentally editing the doc. Cleaner drafts, easier feedback.
Feature Enhancement

Sales tracker for existing Slack CRM teams

Teams on Slack CRM's older Contacts and Accounts views are getting a visual pipeline. It's a backfill-only rollout, so there's nothing to set up — your pipeline just shows up, making deals easier to track at a glance.
