Frequently asked

Does Salesforce integrate with Slack? +

Yes. Salesforce's own Slack apps post record alerts and let you search and share records in Slack. Letaido's AI agent, Leta, adds jobs on top that need judgement, and the jobs on this page have been checked step by step.

How do I connect Salesforce and Slack to Letaido? +

Connect each app once in Letaido. Salesforce needs an edition with API access, such as Enterprise or Unlimited. Invite the Letaido bot to the Slack channels it should post in. Then describe the job in chat, or paste a prompt from a job on this page.

Can Salesforce notifications go to Slack automatically? +

Yes, on a schedule you set: every hour for new demo request leads, every morning for yesterday's won deals, or every Monday for the pipeline digest and quiet deals. Salesforce jobs run on a schedule or when you ask, not on every record change.

Can I look up a Salesforce account from Slack? +

Yes. Mention @Letaido with a company name and Leta replies in the thread with the account owner, industry, last activity and open opportunities. Invite the bot to the channel and keep the app_mention event on in your Slack app.

Can it send each rep their own deals in Slack? +

Yes. Leta can find open deals with no activity in 14 days and send each owner a Slack DM with theirs. Owners are matched by email, so an owner with no Slack account is skipped.

How is Letaido different from Salesforce's own Slack apps? +

Salesforce's Slack apps post an alert when a record you chose changes, and let you search records in Slack. Leta runs a job you describe, on a schedule, when it's mentioned or when you ask, and can sort, add up and summarize the data before it posts.

Will it ask before it posts in Slack? +

Allow all read operations once per app; approve each kind of write once.
