Salesforce has unveiled Agentforce 2.0, the latest iteration of Agentforce. This is the inaugural digital labor platform for organizations that integrates employee-facing agents directly into Slack, enabling them to collaborate with your team. Slack, the leading workplace communication tool, excels in connecting teams and centralizing workflows. Agentforce, a Salesforce-native AI solution, leverages the power of machine learning to deliver actionable insights and automate processes. They create a synergy that transforms collaboration into a seamless, AI-powered experience.
Organizations struggle with managing workflows across dispersed teams due to communication silos, scattered data, and manual processes, which can affect productivity and customer satisfaction. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is driving the need for smarter, integrated solutions. Agentforce 2.0 represents the next wave of AI, enabling multistep actions and advanced reasoning within your Slack workflow.
Why Slack-Agentforce Integration Make Sense?
The Slack-Agentforce integration brings together the best of both worlds: Slack’s real-time communication capabilities and Agentforce’s AI-driven intelligence. Here’s how this partnership elevates teamwork:
- Real-Time Insights: Agentforce’s AI delivers data-driven insights directly into Slack channels. Sales teams can get updates on pipeline performance, while support teams can view customer case statuses without switching platforms.
- Automated Workflows: Say goodbye to repetitive tasks. With Agentforce, users can trigger Salesforce actions—like creating a new opportunity or updating a customer record—using simple Slack commands.
- Proactive Notifications: Stay ahead of the game with proactive alerts. Whether it’s a deal at risk, a service-level agreement (SLA) about to expire, or an opportunity for upselling, Agentforce ensures your team is always in the know.
- Seamless Collaboration: Discuss, strategize, and act—all within Slack. Share data visualizations, collaborate on action plans, and make decisions faster without navigating multiple platforms.
What Does Agentforce 2.0 Bring to Slack?
Agentforce 2.0, Salesforce’s cutting-edge agentic development platform, now includes native Slack support, enabling users to deploy bots directly within the app famously known as “where work happens.” The Atlas Reasoning Engine, the platform’s advanced “brain,” has been upgraded to handle deeply nuanced queries, while a new library of skills and workflow integrations allows for greater customization and efficiency.
1. Collaborate Effortlessly in Slack Channels and DMs
With Agentforce 2.0, teams can seamlessly integrate Agentforce into Slack conversations. Start a dialogue from the Agentforce Hub or simply @mention Agentforce agents in channels or DMs to activate your digital workforce right within your workflow. This means, your team can collaborate seamlessly, just like with human colleagues. Need a quick data pull or want to automate a task? Just @mention Agentforce and it will handle the details, letting your team focus on strategic work.
You can also find Agentforce in the Agentforce hub, where you can search by skill set for assistance in areas like IT, onboarding, or marketing. Activate your chosen agent to start a conversation or use customizable templates. For instance, employees can @mention Agentforce for immediate help with a lost device, streamlining the process without filling out separate forms. Agentforce effectively manages device requests from start to finish.
2. Boost Productivity with Pre-Built Slack Actions
The enhanced Agent Builder now features pre-configured Slack actions, such as “Create canvas” or “Message channel,” allowing teams to extend Agentforce capabilities and streamline collaboration in Slack quickly. Slack automation can streamline work, but managing it requires effort. If you need help automating your workflows and getting recommendations, Agentforce is here for you.
With Slack actions in Agent Builder, teams can:
- Create and update canvases for idea-sharing
- Manage lists to track progress
- Build workflows for timely delivery
- Create channels to improve communication
- Search data to answer questions
- Send direct messages to keep you informed
3. Leverage Conversational Context with Enterprise Search
Slack is a treasure trove of domain knowledge, spread across DMs, channels, and canvases. Agentforce 2.0 taps into Slack’s enterprise search capabilities to provide highly relevant responses and actions, drawing from public and permissioned data to deliver deeper conversational insights.
When you ask a question, Agentforce leverages Slack enterprise search to provide results from conversations and connected applications it has access to, ensuring you receive the most current and actionable information. Beyond delivering relevant insights, Slack enterprise search encourages follow-up actions, sparking conversations with your Agentforce team to drive deeper collaboration. Agentforce 2.0 is redefining collaboration by bringing AI-powered workflows directly into the daily tools teams use.
Deploy Agentforce in Slack for Better Business Outcomes
Agentforce helps organizations to build custom agents that streamline specific tasks. By integrating with Slack, Agentforce allows your team to collaborate seamlessly with these agents in the workspace they already use.
With Agentforce 2.0, you can interact directly with your CRM—updating account records, replying to service cases, or managing opportunities—using natural language. These AI agents enhance workflows across the Salesforce Customer 360, offering insights, drafting emails, and suggesting action plans, all within Slack. By combining Slack’s work OS with Agentforce’s customizable tools, teams can close deals, launch campaigns, and resolve cases faster. Share updates and insights effortlessly in Slack channels or messages, ensuring everyone stays aligned and productive.
