# admin Slack - Full Documentation # Activate a Feed Channel Set up Slack feed channels so that users can see notifications about deals that your team is watching or have closed. Two predefined feed channels are available: Deals to Watch and Deals Won. You can also create feed channels and broadcast topics for other announcements. ### Required Editions
User Permissions Needed
To set up Slack apps and features: Customize Application
Ideally, set up feed channels and broadcast topics before you have users connect to Sales Cloud for Slack for the first time. That way, users see their available channels in their Slack welcome message when they first log in. 1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Slack, and select **Sales Cloud for Slack**. 2. Select a channel and click **Activate Channel**. 3. Add the users who can access the channel. If you don’t want to add everyone, edit the user roles. 4. Select the workspace that you want to add the feed channel to. 5. Choose whether the channel is public or private. Users can view or join a private channel only by invitation. Anyone in the team’s Slack workspace can view or join a public channel. ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-slack_apps-264-0-0-production-enus/68481d6c-8c01-419d-9d5c-ebe6efa3b5f3/images/icon_note.png) Note After a channel is set to private, you can’t change it to public. 6. Select whether to automatically add users in the selected roles to the channel now or to have users join the feed channel manually. If you opted to include the channels in users’ welcome message, they can find the channel easily. If you’re adding Salesforce users to feed channels using roles, user roles from your role hierarchy that are above the role that you select don’t inherit access to the channel. 7. Click **Next**. 8. To create the feed channel and invite users, click **Activate Channel**. - **[Create a Broadcast Topic Type for a Feed Channel](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_apps_sales_create_broadcast_topic_type.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** A broadcast topic type directs the kind of announcements that are sent to your feed channels. In addition to the predefined Deals Won and Deals to Watch topic types, you can create other topics, each with its own feed channel. Assign a broadcast topic type for each feed channel that you create. - **[Create a Feed Channel](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_apps_sales_create_a_feed_channel.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** Keep users up to date on announcements using your own feed channel. A channel must be connected to a broadcast topic. - **[Deactivate a Feed Channel](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_app_sales_deactivate_feed_channels.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** Sales Cloud for Slack comes with two preconfigured feed channels, Deals-to-Watch and Deals-Won, which you can activate to keep you up to date on important progress and deal closings. To deactivate these channels, you have two options: deactivate the flow sending notifications to these channels or archive the channel completely. #### See Also - [Controlling Access Hierarchies](https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/business_process_automation/flow?trail_id=automate_business_processes) - [Controlling Access Using Hierarchies](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.security_controlling_access_using_hierarchies.htm&type=5&language=en_US) # Activate Sales Cloud for Slack Notifications​​ in Flow Builder After you choose the Sales Cloud for Slack notifications that you want to set up for your users, here’s how you activate them in Flow Builder. ### Required Editions

Editing a flow setting can prevent a notification from firing, or cause the notification text to mismatch the notification behavior. However, the feed channel flow Deals to Watch is customizable. 1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Flows, and then select **Flows**. 2. In the Flows list view, click the flow to view its template. Remember not to change notification flows, except for the Deals to Watch flow. You can change the Probability field percentage and the Amount field number to make those notification triggers useful for your company. The default probability trigger is greater or equal to 50, and an amount trigger is greater than $0. 3. Click Save As to save a copy of the flow that you can use. Use a name and description that helps you remember which notification the flow is for. Otherwise it can get lost easily! We recommend using the same name as provided in the template so your flows are easy to find again. 4. From the flow that you saved, click Activate. 5. If setting up the Send Slack Reminder When Opportunity Next Step is Unchanged notification, you must enable [Opportunity Field History](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.opp_history.htm&type=5&language=en_US). Enabling Opportunity Field History triggers the notification for the opportunity Next Step field and sent to users. You can enable opportunity field history from the [Object Manager](https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/setup-quick-look/learn-to-use-setup-and-the-object-manager). Go to the Opportunity page and click the **Fields & Relationships** tab. Then click **Set History Tracking**. Last, enable Opportunity Field History for the opportunity Next Step field. All reminders that you activated are now set up for app users. Reminders are sent directly to users in the Message tab of the Sales Cloud for Slack app. If you’re setting up feed channel or sales channel notifications, keep following along to fully enable those features for users. #### See Also - [Guide Users Through Your Business Processes with Flow Builder](https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/business_process_automation/flow?trail_id=automate_business_processes) # Add Apps in Your Personal Slack Sidebar After your Salesforce and Slack admins have approved and installed Slack Apps for Salesforce in your company's workspace, you can add them to your personal Slack sidebar and connect them to your Salesforce account. To get started with Slack Apps in Salesforce, follow these steps. 1. In the Slack sidebar, click **Apps**. If necessary, locate **Apps** by clicking **More** first. 2. Search for the Salesforce app, tool, or service you want, and then click to add it. 3. Follow the prompt to connect your account. 4. Enter your Salesforce username and password, and click **Log In**. Or, if your org uses a company-specific login URL, such as mycompany.my.salesforce.com, log in by clicking **Use Custom Domain** instead. 5. Select **I agree to allow Slack to access my Salesforce account**, and then click **Allow**. That’s it! Now you can start collaborating with colleagues to work faster and smarter in Slack! # Add Connected External Object Related Lists to Leads and Opportunities If you opted to store read-only record updates made by users in the other Salesforce org, you must make those records available to your users. We recommend adding Connected External Lead and Connected External Opportunity as related lists to your Lead and Opportunity page layouts. Doing so lets users view their peer’s version of the record in the context of your org’s version of that same shared deal. ### Required Editions
Available in Lightning Experience in Enterprise and Unlimited Editions with Sales or Service. Vendors must purchase a PRM add-on license for the partner admin user and each partner user who exports records. Partners aren’t required to purchase PRM licenses to use Legacy Partner Connect.

Set Up Partner Connect for a Partner Org

Before making read-only versions of your peer’s records available to users, Salesforce admins must also complete these prerequisites. - The vendor admin must select the Send & Receive Updates option when selecting objects and fields to integrate with their partner’s org. - Both vendor and partner admins must prepare the connected external objects for storing the records in their respective orgs. 1. From Setup, in the Quick Find Box, enter Partner Connect. Vendor admins select **Partner Connect for Vendors**. Partner admins select **Partner Connect**. 2. Under Configure, find the Add Connected External Object Related Lists to Page Layouts section. If you’re storing updates on any Lead fields, go to the page layout for Lead. If you’re storing updates on any Opportunity fields, go to the page layout for Opportunity. 3. From the Object Manager, click **Page Layout**, and then from the enhanced page layout editor palette, click **Related Lists**. 4. Drag the Connected External Lead or Connected External Opportunity related list from the palette to the Related Lists section of the page layout. Click **Save**. 5. Add the fields that you want to show on the related list. From the Related Lists section of the page layout, click ![Related list properties wrench icon](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-salesforce_prm-264-0-0-production-enus/35cdbed0-3c5d-4ddb-94ea-c7445aa90b95/resources-global/_corporate/images/wrench.png). Then add the fields that you want to users to see from the related list. We recommend adding the integrated fields that are most important to your sales reps. 6. Repeat steps 2–4 for every connected external object that you want users to see. If you haven’t already, contact the admin at the other company to check in on setup progress. If all of these steps are completed, vendor admins are ready to give partner users permission to export records, rolling out Partner Connect. - The vendor admin has invited a partner to connect and selected their objects and fields for integration. - The partner admin has completed their field mappings. #### See Also - [Prepare Legacy Partner Connect Objects for Connected External Records](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_setup_prepare_cnnctd_extl_objects.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "To let your users see and track the progress of shared leads and opportunities, you can opt to store a read-only version of the other org’s record in your own org.

To set up Partner Connect in a vendor org: Customize Application
Though list view button layouts determine what's shown on all of your list views, the Export to My CRM button is blocked from appearing in your Salesforce org. In your partner sites, the button is visible only to users who are assigned the Export Vendor Records to Authorized Partner Org permission. That permission is included in the Partner User Approved for Exporting Records permission set, which we recommend assigning as the last step of vendor setup. That way, partner users can't see the button until you're ready to roll out Partner Connect. Even if you want partners to export records from multiple partner sites, you're required to add the Export button to each object only one time. 1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter PRM, and then select **Partner Connect for Vendors**. 2. Under Configure, find the Add Export Buttons to Your Partner Sites section. 3. Add the Export to My CRM button to the object list views for the objects you’re integrating with your partner. If you’re integrating leads, go to the layout for Lead. If you’re integrating opportunities, go to the layout for Opportunity. 4. From the List View Button Layout page, select **Export to My CRM**, then click **Save**. 5. Repeat steps 2–4 for every object you chose to integrate. After adding the export button to your partner site, you're ready to invite a partner company to connect with your org. #### See Also - [Export Vendor Records to Your Salesforce Org and View Vendor Record Updates](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_partner_export.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Partner Connect lets partner users export a vendor’s leads or opportunities from the vendor’s Experience Cloud partner site to their own Salesforce org. If the feature is configured, partner users also get a read-only glimpse of how the record is progressing in the vendor's system.

Spend a few minutes reviewing our advice for planning a sales channel strategy. See Plan Your Sales Channel Strategy section in [Preparing for Sales Cloud for Slack](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_apps_sales_prepare_your_org_for_sales_cloud_for_slack.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Before you turn on the app and roll it out to your users, take some initial planning steps, and complete some initial setup in Salesforce."). Or ask a sales leader if your company has established your own strategy. Plan which opportunities or accounts can benefit from a sales channel. Note any Slack channels where your sales teams are already working on any of those accounts or opportunities, and retain a list of those channels. Rather than uprooting conversations that are in progress, convert those existing Slack channels to sales channels. Only spin up new channels for records that don’t have an established presence in Slack. Decide whether any new channels are private or public. Determine the list of team members to invite to each channel. Ask your sales leader or manager if your company uses a naming convention for sales channels, and follow that convention. Use a common naming convention to make finding channels set up for sales channels as easy as possible. If not, we recommend using a name such as #oppty-opportunity-name, #acct-account-name, or #sales-acct-name-oppty-name, depending on which records are in the channel. Create your sales channels, connecting each channel to the appropriate opportunities and accounts. Create a post to welcome people to the channel and start selling as a team. #### See Also - [How Does a Sales Channel Work?](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_apps_sales_how_does_a_sales_channel_work.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Check out what a sales channel looks like and how it can help you and your sales team keep selling directly from Slack.") - [Create Sales Channels from Slack](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_apps_sales_create_sales_channels_from_slack.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "You can create sales channels in Slack from the Sales Cloud for Slack app. After creating the sales channel, open it and invite members.") - [Create Sales Channels from Salesforce](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_apps_sales_create_sales_channels_from_salesforce.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "You can create sales channels directly from opportunity or account records. Send invitations to team members while you’re creating the channel, or opt to invite members later from Slack.") # Billing Considerations for Slackbot Slackbot uses native Slack and Salesforce tools to complete tasks, and Slackbot can use Standard and Advanced Actions to do things like research, build reports, or generate content. Use of Slackbot Standard Actions or Advanced Actions impacts the consumption of credits in these usage types. Use Digital Wallet to check which consumption cards are active in your org, find out how many credits are available on each card, and determine how many credits have been consumed in each usage type. Some usage types aren't metered for certain licenses or editions. Check your licenses and review license documentation for more information. ## Slackbot Usage in Slack When you use Slackbot, your org consumes credits from the Flex Credits consumption card, only after your plan’s included Slackbot message allowance is exhausted. For more information, see [Flex Credits Billable Usage Types for Slackbot](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_billable_usage_types.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Usage of certain Slackbot features impacts Flex Credits consumption when Slack is connected to a Salesforce org that has Flex Credits. To monitor usage, access your org’s Digital Wallet.") and [Slackbot limits and credit usage](https://slack.com/help/articles/53579676130195-Slackbot-limits-and-credit-usage) in Slack Help. To check multipliers for each usage type, see the Slackbot section within the [Flex Credits Rate Card](https://www.salesforce.com/agentforce/rates/). The cost of each credit is determined by your contract. | Digital Wallet Consumption Card | Usage Type | Usage Type Description | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Flex Credits | Slackbot Standard Action | The default billable unit for a user-visible tool call. Covers most native Slack and Salesforce actions, including search, reads, and writes to records, canvases, lists, calendars, automations, and messages, along with Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool calls other than Salesforce MCP calls, which aren’t metered. | The meter runs once per unique tool per turn. Multiple calls toward the same outcome, such as three searches to find the right thread, are grouped and billed as one action. | | Flex Credits | Slackbot Advanced Action | Premium, higher-value functionality, including deep research, report and dashboard creation, reading Salesforce files, and creating or editing slides, documents, or spreadsheets in third-party tools. | Advanced Actions bill in addition to any Standard Actions in the same turn. A single message can generate both. | For more information on how usage is billed, refer to your contract or contact your account executive. ## Reduce Slackbot Costs Lower Slackbot credit consumption in several ways. - Combine related asks into a single message so Slackbot can group tool calls toward one outcome instead of running separate turns for each step. - Use Standard Actions (search, canvas, list, calendar tools) where they get the job done, and reserve Advanced Actions like Deep Research, slide, or report creation for when you actually need that depth. - Check Digital Wallet regularly to monitor consumption trends and catch unexpected spikes early. - Avoid re-running the same request repeatedly to troubleshoot. Each turn bills at least 1 Standard Action even if the result doesn't change. #### See Also - [Flex Credits Billable Usage Types for Slackbot](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_billable_usage_types.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Usage of certain Slackbot features impacts Flex Credits consumption when Slack is connected to a Salesforce org that has Flex Credits.

Prioritize leads, progress deals, and identify next steps by interacting with Slackbot—never leaving your flow of work. Because Slack and Salesforce are integrated, actions that you take in Slack automatically sync to Salesforce, which keeps records up to date and forecasts accurate. You and your team avoid constant tab-switching and stay in your flow of work. The Agentforce Sales Model Context Protocol (MCP) server powers Agentforce Sales in Slack. The server enables Slackbot to connect to Agentforce Sales agents. After setup, Salesforce installs the Agentforce Sales MCP server into Slack's MCP client, making capabilities such as Pipeline Management available to Slackbot as callable tools. For more information about MCP servers, see [Salesforce Hosted MCP Servers](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/hosted-mcp-servers/guide/hosted-mcp-servers-overview.html). ## Agentforce Sales in Slack Go Page The Go page centralizes the essential onboarding tasks, such as turning on Agentforce Sales in Slack and connecting your Slack workspace. The Go page handles the rest automatically, with no extra setup for Salesforce or Slack admins. ![The Agentforce Sales in Slack Go page, showing the onboarding steps to turn on the feature and connect your Slack workspace.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-slack_apps-264-0-0-production-enus/68481d6c-8c01-419d-9d5c-ebe6efa3b5f3/slack_apps/images/agentforce_sales_in_slack_go_page.png) To set up Agentforce Sales in Slack, see [Turn On Agentforce Sales in Slack](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_set_up_agentforce_sales_for_slack.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Before you can use Agentforce Sales in Slack, turn it on from its Salesforce Go page.").

Each channel acts as a central workspace where members can post messages to plan campaign strategies and share ideas in real time. Channel notifications keep the members informed about important changes, so that they can work efficiently and stay connected. Key campaign information, such as its name, status, and description, appears in the channel's Campaign details tab. The Summary tab provides a brief overview of what's happening in the channel. Channel participants stay informed by automatic campaign updates, which are triggered by these important actions: - Updates to campaign and brief specifications - Adding or removing campaign members - Sending a campaign email - Adding, updating, or removing flows - Adding or removing attachments In Slack, a campaign record channel is always public. Team members can access past conversations and notifications just by scrolling or searching the channel. - **[Create a Campaign Record Channel](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_apps_create_campaign_channel_from_salesforce.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** You can create a Slack channel directly from a campaign record in Salesforce. Use this channel to collaborate with your team and receive important campaign updates. # Channel Management Console Monitor your channel business like a pro from the Channel Management Console.
Available for channel managers in Lightning Experience in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions with Sales or Service. You must have at least one PRM add-on license.
- **[Monitoring Channel Business from the Channel Management Console](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.salesforce_prm_cmc_overview.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** Channel managers can see a complete view of partners’ sales activity from the Channel Management Console. Follow the performance metrics you care about most from the console dashboard. Review and approve partners’ leads and easily access frequently-used objects. - **[Setting Up the Channel Management Console](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.salesforce_prm_setup_cmc_parent.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** The Channel Management Console lets channel managers monitor partner activities and performance from a standard Lightning console app. Salesforce admins must give channel managers access to the console and its features. If they want, Salesforce admins can customize the console. # Close a Swarm in Slack When the collaboration is over and the issue is resolved, close the swarm from the swarm’s Slack channel. Finishing a swarm sets the end date and time and changes the status and all associated swarm members to Closed. It also frees up space on agents’ Omni-Channel presence configurations so that they can accept more work. And it shows who’s involved in a swarm in reports. 1. In Slack, from the swarm thread that you want to close, select **Finish Swarming**. You can also use the /service-swarm-close slash command. 2. If applicable, select the swarm that you want to close. 3. Optionally add members that weren’t accounted for to give them credit for collaborating in the swarm. 4. Select **Finish**. You can still add members to a closed swarm. Doing so reopens the swarm, adds a new swarm request, and sets the swarm record status to In Progress. # Collaborate on Household Account Records with Householding Slack Channels Improve team collaboration using Slack channels for account - household records.

User Permissions Needed
To turn on Partner Connect in the partner org:

Customize Application (in the partner org)

AND

Set Up Partner Connect for a Partner Org (in the partner org)

AND

Establish an Approved PRM External Integration (in the vendor org)

AND

API Enabled (in the vendor org)

Before completing your vendor’s connection request, make sure that you review the partner org settings for Partner Connect and configure what’s necessary. 1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Integrations, and then select **Partner Connect**. 2. Under Connect, from the Connect with a Vendor section, click **Add Vendor**. 3. Provide the account for the company you’re working with, and then click **Done**. The account can be an [account](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.basics_creating_records_on_tabs.htm&type=5&language=en_US) or a [partner account](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.networks_partner_community_create_account.htm&type=5&language=en_US). Partner Connect adds the vendor account name to the external client app created for this connection. That way, you and other admins at your company can see which external client app connects you to each vendor org. 4. Enter the connection details provided in the email that you received from Salesforce. If you don’t recall your partner site password, you can set it from the partner site with your username. This vendor is added to the Vendors list. After the vendor and partner orgs are connected, you see a connection status banner on this vendor that shows as Connected. But partner users can’t export records from the vendor’s Experience Cloud site until all vendor and partner setup steps are complete. The next setup step for partner admins is to select the objects and fields to integrate with the vendor’s org. Partner admins can proceed to that step after the vendor admin selects their own objects and fields for mapping. When your vendor is done with that step, Salesforce sends you an email with instructions on how to proceed. #### See Also - [Give Partners Permission to Establish a Connection with the Vendor Org](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_setup_vendor_assign_partner_admin_perm_set.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Before Partner Connect allows a partner admin to establish a connection with a vendor org, the vendor admin must first acknowledge the partner admin as a trusted contact.

As vendor and partner admins work through Partner Connect setup, Partner Connect deploys a dedicated app to each org that uses OAuth 2.0 client credentials to securely integrate the two orgs. After a secure connection is established, partners can export approved records from the vendor’s Experience Cloud site to their own partner org. Both vendors and partners get a view of how progress is going in the opposite system from a read-only child record that Partner Connect creates automatically.") - [Select a Partner to Connect With](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_setup_vendor_add_partner.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "After giving partner admins permission to connect to the vendor’s Salesforce org, vendor admins kick off the Partner Connect setup process by selecting a partner company to connect with.

Available for channel managers in Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, Developer Editions with Sales or Service. You must have at least one PRM add-on license.
Available for partners in supported Experience Cloud sites, accessed through Lightning Experience in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, Developer Editions with Sales or Service. A PRM add-on license is required for each partner user.
## Permission Sets for Enhanced List Views Partners can see records that are assigned to other partners who fall below them in the External Account Hierarchy of their site prior to assigning permission sets, assuming the partner has at least Read access to the record’s corresponding object. But partners can't see where in the hierarchy partners are positioned. The Contact Intelligence View for Partners, Lead Intelligence View for Partners, and Pipeline Inspection for Partners permission sets include the View Roles and Role Hierarchy permission. This permission gives partners visibility into the hierarchy of the partners that fall below them. ## Unavailable Enhance List View Features These Contact Intelligence, Lead Intelligence, and Pipeline Inspection features aren’t available for partners from the Enhanced List View component in Experience Cloud sites. - Account Insights - Einstein Activity Capture and features that required it, such as Email Insights and Activity Metric - Einstein Conversation Insights and features that require it, such as Conversation Insight. # Considerations for PRM for Slack Make sure you review some key points before you configure the PRM for Slack app. When setting up PRM for Slack, review the licensing requirements to determine which features are best for you. ### Required Editions

Available in: Lightning Experience with Slack Apps in Salesforce Enabled

Available in: Enterprise and Unlimited Editions with Slack Apps in Salesforce Enabled

Available in: Slack Enterprise Grid

## General Considerations - You must enable the PRM for Slack app in Initial Slack Setup. - You must be a Salesforce PRM customer and use Slack Enterprise Grid. - Partner users need a Partner Community license. Either Logins and Members or the Partner Relationship Management SKUs satisfy this requirement. - Partners must have a Slack workspace before they can work with the PRM for Slack app. We recommend vendors and partners use their workspaces when working with PRM for Slack. If the vendor’s Enterprise Grid allows connections to free workspaces, partners who aren’t Slack customers can create and use a free workspace. ## PRM for Slack - Using PRM for Slack requires setting up in both Salesforce and Slack. - Partner users on a login-based license use only one login the first time they authenticate to the PRM for Slack app. No more logins are consumed throughout the session’s lifetime. - PRM for Slack is built on Slack Connect, which allows for channel creation with users outside your company’s workspace. Vendor users connect PRM for Slack to their Salesforce account, and partner users connect PRM for Slack to their partner portal. With these connections, records are shared between vendors and partners. Record access includes read and write permissions corresponding to their Salesforce and portal permissions. - Slack Connect channels on the Enterprise Grid ensure any new workspaces a partner creates persist past their 90-day free Slack trial. - Partner account managers (PAMs) can create a channel with multiple partners from different workspaces where they can work together using the current partner channel invitation structure. #### See Also - [Enable Salesforce for Slack Integrations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_apps_enable.htm&type=5&language=en_US) - [Setting Up PRM for Slack in Slack](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_apps_prm_get_started_in_slack.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "To get your partner account managers (PAMs) and partners sharing CRM data, install the PRM for Slack app in your workspace.") - [Setting Up PRM for Slack in Salesforce](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_apps_prm_prepare_for_prm.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Get partner account managers (PAMs) and partners started with the PRM for Slack app in Salesforce.") # Considerations for Sales Cloud for Slack Before setting up the app, learn about these product and installation considerations. ## Overall Sales Cloud for Slack Considerations - Sales Cloud for Slack doesn't support Slack Connect channels, which are channels in your company workspace that include people outside of your company. - Avoid changing Sales Cloud for Slack flows when you save a copy of the templates during notification setup. Editing a flow setting can prevent a notification from firing, or cause the notification text to mismatch the notification behavior. However, the feed channel flow Deals to Watch is customizable. See [Sales Cloud for Slack Notification Flows](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_app_sales_notifications_flow_reference.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Sales Cloud for Slack notifications are sent using Flow Builder. When you turn on Sales Cloud for Slack, we add a flow to Salesforce for each Sales Cloud for Slack notification. First, review the available notifications and choose the ones that you want to activate for your Sales Cloud for Slack users. Next we show you how to activate the flows that you chose."). ## Considerations for Installing Sales Cloud for Slack - The Sales Cloud for Slack app can connect a single Slack workspace to a single Salesforce org. Before installing, plan for the workspace and org that you want to connect. - Some Slack workspaces restrict app installation so that only Slack workspace admins can provide authorization. - Slack workspaces can enable admin approval features where users can't directly install apps but can solicit their Slack admin for installation permission through a guided interface. Slack admins can then screen these requests and selectively approve for installation. # Considerations for the Swarm Conversations Component Before you use the Swarm Conversations component, make sure you understand its limitations. ## Component Compatibility - You can add the Swarm Conversations component to page layouts for only the objects that support Swarming. - You can see and interact with only the Slack channels that are linked to the record’s swarm. For example, if a swarm was started for a case, you can see the related Slack swarm channel conversation from the case’s Swarm Conversations component. - Only public and private channels are supported in the Swarm Conversations component. You can’t see direct messages or group messages from the component. - Users can see only the Slack channels that they have access to in Slack. - You can receive real-time messages from only the Slack channels that have the Service Cloud for Slack app installed. - The Swarm Conversations component automatically resizes based on the page’s available space, but doesn’t account for Comfy or Compact display density changes by the user. - The Enter or Return key doesn’t send a Slack message from the Swarm Conversations component. Use the Send button instead. - The Swarm Conversations component doesn’t automatically redirect to the newest message for Firefox users. - You can’t send a thread reply to the rest of the Slack channel from the Swarm Conversations component. - For optimal performance, don’t add more than two Swarm Conversations components to your page layout. ## Slack Actions - Using and creating Slack slash commands aren’t supported from the Swarm Conversations component. - Using and creating Slack workflows aren’t supported from the Swarm Conversations component. - Some Slack blocks, like actions, aren’t supported from the Swarm Conversations component. To view a message’s unsupported block element, open the message in Slack. ## Message Formatting - You can send, receive, and view Slack messages from the Swarm Conversations component in Lightning Experience. - You can @mention Slack users from the Swarm Conversations component. When @mentioning the user, you see their availability status as set in Slack. - @here and @Everyone aren’t supported from the Swarm Conversations component. - To @mention a Slack channel from the Swarm Conversations component, enter # followed by the channel name. You can mention only the Slack channels that you have access to. - To send an emoji from the Swarm Conversations component, enter : followed by the emoji’s short name. - The Swarm Conversations component doesn’t support partial formatting. For example, if part of a message is bolded but the rest isn’t, the message appears as unbolded. - Nested lists, inline code, code blocks, block quotes, and date formatting aren’t supported for outbound messages from the Swarm Conversations component. ## Attachments - You can upload, send, preview, and download attachments from the Swarm Conversations component. - You can upload an attachment of up to 3 MB from the Swarm Conversations component. - To preview an attachment sent from Slack, from the Swarm Conversations component, find, and download the file. - Deleting an attachment from Slack also deletes it from the Swarm Conversations component. You can’t delete an attachment from the Swarm Conversations component. # Considerations for Using the Slack Integration Keep these considerations in mind when setting up and using the Slack integration. ### Required Editions
Available in: All Account Engagement Editions
Available in: Slack (where approved by a workspace admin)
- To install the Account Engagement app and complete the connector setup requires a Slack workspace admin, a Salesforce admin, and an Account Engagement admin. - The Slack connector requires a verified Salesforce Connector. - To set up the integration, first enable Slack in Salesforce and assign the Connect Salesforce with Slack permission to your Slack workspace admin. - The Slack connector setup is available only in Account Engagement Lightning App. If you’re not using the Lightning app, [download the Account Engagement Lightning App Implementation Guide](https://resources.docs.salesforce.com/latest/latest/en-us/sfdc/pdf/pardot_lightning_app_implementation_guide.pdf) and enable it for your org. - You can connect one Slack workspace and add up to 10 Slack channels. - The Slack connector supports only public Slack channels. - The completion action to notify a Slack channel is available for Account Engagement forms, form handlers, file downloads, custom redirects, and page actions.

When you create a custom notification, you’re determining these factors - The message you want the notification to contain - When and why you want notifications to be sent - To whom you want to send the notifications (such as individual users, channels, sales channels, feed channels) You determine these factors using all the Flow and Slack flow actions features. We recommend you use the notification flows provided as examples to learn how to send the various types of notifications. We also recommend you clone our notification types and notification flows as your starting point. In particular, to send notifications to sales channels or feed channels, it’s easier to use the complex logic included in our notification flows. #### See Also - [How Does a Sales Channel Work?](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_apps_sales_how_does_a_sales_channel_work.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Check out what a sales channel looks like and how it can help you and your sales team keep selling directly from Slack.") - [Best Practices for Creating Sales Channels](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_apps_sales_sc_best_pract.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "To avoid introducing duplicate channels and ensure that the channels you create are easy to find, follow these best practices before you start creating channels.") - [Create a Sales Channel Notification Type](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_app_sales_create_a_sales_channel_notification_type.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Set up notification types to accompany sales channel notification flows.") - [Setting Up Users to Create Sales Channels](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_apps_sales_set_up_users_to_create_sales_channels.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "To set up users to create sales channels from Slack, give users access to the Swarms object in Salesforce.

User Permissions Needed
To open and edit a flow in Flow Builder: Manage Flow
By default, the Deals to Watch flow sends notifications when an opportunity is created or updated with a probability greater or equal to 50 and an amount greater than $0. 1. From Setup, go to Flows. 2. Open the Send Slack Notification When template, and save it with a unique name. 3. Save the flow, and activate it. 4. Open the activated flow, and click **Start**. 5. To edit the Probability and Amount triggers, in the Object: Opportunity section, click **Edit**. 6. Under Set Entry Conditions, specify the probability and the amount. . For example, your company wants to stay on top of opportunities that have at least a 70% probability of closing and bring in $100,000 or more. The Probability field is updated when an opportunity’s Stage value changes, even if the field is marked as read only on your page layout. Users with edit access to the Probability field can override the value. 7. For the Configure Trigger, we recommend leaving **A record is created or updated** selected. Doing so ensures that notifications are sent for newly created opportunities that start later stages, which also causes the Probability field to start at a higher percentage. #### See Also - [Activate Sales Cloud for Slack Notifications​​ in Flow Builder](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_apps_sales_premade_notifications.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "After you choose the Sales Cloud for Slack notifications that you want to set up for your users, here’s how you activate them in Flow Builder.") # Customize the Message of a Sales Channel Notification You can create sales channels in Slack from the Sales Cloud for Slack app. After creating the sales channel, open it and invite members.

Learn about the default functionality for Leads to Review and review some considerations for Salesforce admins who want to customize it.
Available for channel managers in Lightning Experience in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions with Sales or Service. You must have at least one PRM add-on license.
## About Leads to Review Leads to Review is a Lightning Web Component that’s included with supported Partner Relationship Management add-on licenses. Salesforce admins can give channel managers access to the Leads to Review component by adding it to the Channel Management Console or any other Lightning app meant for managing leads. Leads to Review shows a list of leads, each with an action menu. The default experience displays the first five leads from the Leads Created by Partners This Month list view. Each lead includes an action menu that lets channel managers approve or reject the deal for the assigned partner. ![The leads to review panel from the Channel Management Console, showing a list of leads and an action menu with the Approve a Deal option.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-salesforce_prm-264-0-0-production-enus/35cdbed0-3c5d-4ddb-94ea-c7445aa90b95/salesforce_prm/images/prm_cmc_leads_to_approve.png) To learn more about how Leads to Review works, see [Monitoring Channel Business from the Channel Management Console](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.salesforce_prm_cmc_overview.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Channel managers can see a complete view of partners’ sales activity from the Channel Management Console. Follow the performance metrics you care about most from the console dashboard. Review and approve partners’ leads and easily access frequently-used objects."). ## Customizing the Component You can customize this behavior from Lightning App Builder. - The list view that displays leads to channel managers - How many leads display in a single view (up to 10) - Which flow-based actions are available for the channel manager from the action menu - Who can see the component on their console, by filtering visibility by user or user permissions. If you decide to customize the component, keep these considerations in mind. - The default list view, Leads Created by Partners This Month, shows only leads that are related to partner accounts. If your company doesn’t use partner accounts, consider using a different list view to show inbound leads from partners. - You can customize the actions available on the action menu using flows built with Flow Builder. Leads to Review supports only flows in which the Lead ID field is used as a flow variable, and that the variable is available for input from outside of the flow. # Data Access in Sales Cloud for Slack Notifications Your Salesforce admin determines how much data is shared in reminder, sales channel, and feed channel notifications. The setting is set from the Record Detail Setting on the Enable Slack for Salesforce page in Setup. If you don’t have access to the record in Salesforce, you can’t access additional details about the notification. If the setting is at the most restrictive level, notifications sent to the channel show the record’s object type and details about the notification. If you don’t have access to the record in Salesforce, you can’t access additional details about the record in Slack. For example, in a sales channel, a notification like the following could be sent to a channel, and all members can see the notification. The record name is restricted, but users can see that the amount was updated on an opportunity record. ![A notification in Slack when the restricted setting is selected](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-slack_apps-264-0-0-production-enus/68481d6c-8c01-419d-9d5c-ebe6efa3b5f3/slack_apps/images/slack_restricted_record.png) If the setting is at the least restrictive level, channel users see the record’s object type, the notification details, and the opportunity name. For a list of what’s considered a notification detail see [Sales Cloud for Slack Notification Flows](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_app_sales_notifications_flow_reference.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Sales Cloud for Slack notifications are sent using Flow Builder. When you turn on Sales Cloud for Slack, we add a flow to Salesforce for each Sales Cloud for Slack notification.

To deactivate these channels, you have two options: deactivate the flow sending notifications to these channels or archive the channel completely. ### Required Editions

After deletion, partner users can no longer export vendor records to the partner org, and updates no longer flow between connected records. Related connection items are also removed from the org depending on which admin initiates the deletion. If admins want to reconnect their orgs, they must step through the end-to-end setup process again.

# Export Vendor Records to Your Salesforce Org and View Vendor Record Updates Partner Connect lets partner users export a vendor’s leads or opportunities from the vendor’s Experience Cloud partner site to their own Salesforce org. If the feature is configured, partner users also get a read-only glimpse of how the record is progressing in the vendor's system. If the admin with the vendor company gave users permission to create and customize list views, partner users can also add the Export Status field to Lead and Opportunity list views. ### Required Editions
Available in Lightning Experience in Enterprise and Unlimited Editions with Sales or Service. Vendors must purchase a PRM add-on license for the partner admin user and each partner user who exports records. Partners aren’t required to purchase PRM licenses to use Legacy Partner Connect.
User Permissions Needed
To export records from a vendor org to an authorized partner org: Export Vendor Records to an Authorized Partner Org (in the vendor org)
To create and customize list views on the vendor's Experience Cloud partner site: Create and Customize List Views (in the vendor org)

The field shows these export statuses: Exported, Not Exported, Export In Progress, or Export Error. If you can't add the field to your list views, ask the Salesforce admin at your vendor to assign you access. 1. Log in to your vendor’s partner site. 2. Go to the page that contains the records that you want to export. Depending on your vendor's settings, export is available for leads, opportunities, or both. 3. Select the records that you want to export. You can export up to 200 records at one time. 4. Click the Export to My CRM button. ![Export to My CRM button on the an opportunities list view](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-salesforce_prm-264-0-0-production-enus/35cdbed0-3c5d-4ddb-94ea-c7445aa90b95/salesforce_prm/images/prm_pc_export_button.png) After records are exported, we send an email to the Partner Connect admin at your company that confirms which records were imported to your Salesforce org. After a record is imported, only users in the partner org can edit it. If vendors decided to continue sending and receiving record updates, a read-only connected external lead or opportunity is also created. That record represents the vendor's version of the record. 5. To view the vendor’s version of the record, log in to your Salesforce org and open any imported lead or opportunity. The Connected External Lead or Connected External Opportunity related list shows the read-only version of the vendor’s record. ![Connected external opportunity related list on an imported opportunity](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-salesforce_prm-264-0-0-production-enus/35cdbed0-3c5d-4ddb-94ea-c7445aa90b95/salesforce_prm/images/prm_pc_cnctd_extl_oppty.png) Sometimes vendors decide not to share updates for all fields on a record, even if the field was included during export. #### See Also - [How Legacy Partner Connect Helps Vendors and Partners Integrate Shared Business](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_overview.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Vendors and partners already work together to sell complementary products and services.

To view sales channels in Salesforce: Read on Swarms
You can get two different views of your sales channels from Salesforce. You can see all of your company's sales channels in one list and see sales channels linked to each record. Sales reps can see a list view of all sales channels by clicking the Swarm tab in Salesforce. The tab also shows any swarm channels created using the Service app for Slack. 1. To access the Swarm tab, [add it to your navigation bar](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.user_userdisplay_tabs_lex.htm&type=5&language=en_US). 2. To see all sales channels and swarm channels in Salesforce, click the Swarm tab. ![Swarm list view in Salesforce](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-slack_apps-264-0-0-production-enus/68481d6c-8c01-419d-9d5c-ebe6efa3b5f3/slack_apps/images/crm_swarms_list_view.png) ## See Sales Channels Linked to Each Record 1. Open an account or opportunity in Salesforce and click the Related tab to see the related lists on the record. If the record is linked to any sales channels, you see them listed in the Sales Channels related list. 2. Click a sales channel from the list, and it opens the channel in Slack. ![Sales channel related list on a Salesforce record](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-slack_apps-264-0-0-production-enus/68481d6c-8c01-419d-9d5c-ebe6efa3b5f3/slack_apps/images/sales_slack_sales_chan_rl.png) # Finding and Interpreting the Statuses of Legacy Partner Connect Data Transactions Before addressing Partner Connect export, import, and update issues, vendor admins and partner admins must first understand what makes a data transaction successful. Then admins can learn where failed transactions are shown and what details are provided to resolve issues.
Available in Lightning Experience in Enterprise and Unlimited Editions with Sales or Service. Vendors must purchase a PRM add-on license for the partner admin user and each partner user who exports records. Partners aren’t required to purchase PRM licenses to use Legacy Partner Connect.
## What Makes a Data Transaction Successful? For Partner Connect to get data from one org to another, two successful data transactions are required. - An outbound transaction. Outbound transactions include exports and updates. The status of an outbound transaction answers the question: Was record data sent successfully? - An inbound transaction. Inbound transactions include imports and updates. The status of an inbound transaction answers the question: Was record data received successfully? Here’s an example of how inbound and outbound transactions work when a batch of records is exported from the vendor org and imported to the partner org. First, Partner Connect packages the record data from the vendor’s org, checks vendor object and field mappings to see what fields must be sent, and attempts an export. This end-to-end process is an outbound transaction, and can succeed, be skipped, or fail. Next, Partner Connect attempts to import the records to the partner org. To import, Partner Connect interprets the vendor’s exported data, checks it against the partner object and field mappings, and creates the imported record or records in the partner org. This end-to-end process is an inbound transaction, and can succeed or fail. If the vendor org elected to send and receive record updates between orgs, a connected external record is also created in the partner org during import. The first time a partner user updates an imported parent record, a connected external record is also created in the vendor org. The vendor’s connected external record is also paired as a child to the vendor’s original parent record. See [How Legacy Partner Connect Exports, Imports, and Integrates Records Across Orgs](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_overview_how_biz_tracked.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Learn about how Partner Connect lets vendors and partners work on shared leads and opportunities independently while still providing cross-org visibility into how each record is progressing."). Outbound and inbound transactions for updates work similarly to the way they do for exports and imports. After a parent record is updated, an outbound transaction occurs in the org that initiates the update, and an inbound transaction occurs in the org that receives the update. If the outbound or inbound transaction on an export, import, or update process is skipped or fails, Partner Connect fails to complete one of these actions. - Create a record in the partner org with data exported from the vendor org. - Create a connected external record in either org with data from the external org. - Send data updates to an org. - Receive data updates from an org. ## Identifying Failed Data Transactions Because each export, import, or update requires several end-to-end processes to successfully transfer data between orgs, one-off transaction failures can occur. One-off failures aren’t indicative of a deeper problem, and in many cases Partner Connect resolves one-off failures on your behalf. But recurring failures are indicative of configuration or connection issues that the vendor admin, partner admin, or an IT professional at the partner company must address. Transaction failures are presented to users and admins in several ways. - For export issues that occur immediately after the partner user attempts an export, Partner Connect show an error to partner users so that they can try again or contact an admin for help. - For import issues, Partner Connect sends an import status email to the last partner admin who updated field mappings from the Partner Connect page in Setup. The email summarizes the number of successful imports, plus any failed or skipped import attempts. Any details known about import failures are attached to the email as a csv file so partner admins can troubleshoot issues. Partner admins must sometimes work with an IT professional at their company or the vendor admin for the connected org to resolve issues. - To get more information about recurring export, import, and update issues, vendor and partner admins can build and run a Partner Connect status report from their respective orgs. Then admins can follow Partner Connect recommendations for diagnosing and addressing issues. In some cases, vendor and partner admins must work together to resolve issues. ## Tracking Outbound and Inbound Data Transactions With a Status Report To observe the status of record exports, imports, and updates, vendor and partner admins can build a Partner Connect Status Report on the External Record Share Record Mapping object. See [Build and Run a Legacy Partner Connect Status Report](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_fix_exp_imp_up_report.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Vendor and partner admins can build a report to see the status of the export, import, and update transactions sent between orgs. Doing so lets admins address recurring issues, such as failed exports, imports, or updates."). The External Record Share Record Mapping object stores outbound and inbound transaction data for attempted and successful exports, imports, and updates. After building the report, admins can run it to identify recurring failed data transactions. Then admins can then resolve the issues described by outbound and inbound failure statuses. See [Finding and Interpreting the Statuses of Legacy Partner Connect Data Transactions](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_transact.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Before addressing Partner Connect export, import, and update issues, vendor admins and partner admins must first understand what makes a data transaction successful. Then admins can learn where failed transactions are shown and what details are provided to resolve issues."). When building their reports, we recommend that admins add these External Record Share Record Mapping fields and lookup fields to get the information they must diagnose issues.
Field What It Tells You
External Record Share Connection: Connection Name

The vendor or partner connection that pertains to each transaction. Adding this field to your Partner Connect status report is helpful if you maintain connections with multiple companies, so you can narrow down which connection configuration is causing issues.

Connection Name is a field from the External Record Share Connection object, but you can add this related field to your External Record Share Record Mapping report type to incorporate it into your reports.

Internal Record: Full Name

The name of the internal lead in your org that your company uses to track lead data, which Partner Connect has either exported or imported.

To see the name of a lead in the external org that’s connected to your internal lead, open the internal lead and check the record name or names shown on the Connected External Leads related list.

Internal Record: Opportunity Name

The name of the internal opportunity in your org that your company uses to track opportunity data, which Partner Connect has either exported or imported.

To see the name of an opportunity in the external org that’s connected to your internal opportunity, open the internal opportunity and check the record name or names shown on the Connected External Opportunities related list.

Outbound Status

The status of the most recent outbound transaction that your org sent.

Outbound statuses are always either exports or outbound updates that your org sent to the external org. Because partner orgs don’t export data, export transactions don’t show in a partner’s report.

The inbound status that correlates with each of your outbound statuses occurred in the external org. If you want to track the end-to-end journey of an export or outbound update, ask your peer admin to build their own version of the Partner Connect status report and share the findings.

Inbound Status

The status of the most recent inbound transaction that your org received.

Inbound statuses are always either imports or inbound updates that your org received from the external org. Because vendor orgs don’t import data, import transactions don’t show in a vendor’s report.

The outbound status that correlates with each of your inbound statuses occurred in the external org. If you want to track the end-to-end journey of an import or inbound update, ask your peer admin to build their own version of the Partner Connect status report and share the findings.

Last Modified Sent The data and time of the most recent outbound transaction that your org sent to the external org.
![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-salesforce_prm-264-0-0-production-enus/35cdbed0-3c5d-4ddb-94ea-c7445aa90b95/images/icon_note.png) Note On the External Record Share Record Mapping object, Last Modified Date tells you the date and time of the most recent transaction that your org performed on the pair of records mapped across orgs. Last Modified Date could pertain to either an outbound or inbound transaction that occurred to a record, whichever happened to have occurred most recently. Because Last Modified Date doesn’t offer the specificity necessary to assess transaction issues, we recommend using Last Modified Sent when building your Partner Connect status report. #### See Also - [ExtlRecShrCnct](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.object_reference.meta/object_reference/sforce_api_objects_extlrecshrcnct.htm) - [ExtlRecShrFieldMap](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.object_reference.meta/object_reference/sforce_api_objects_extlrecshrfieldmap.htm) # Finding and Organizing Your Sales Cloud for Slack Channels Whether you’re working in Salesforce or Slack, learn how to find relevant channels and keep them organized. - **[Find Relevant Sales Channels from Salesforce](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_apps_sales_find_relevant_sales_channels_from_salesforce.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** Join in on the conversation.

## Find Sales Channels Find and join sales channels by searching the available channels in your workspace or by asking a teammate to add you. Ask your sales leader or manager if your company uses a naming convention for sales channels so that you know what to search for. If your company has no convention, we recommend searching for your opportunity or account name in Slack. You can also find sales channels in Salesforce. ## Find Feed Channels Find and join feed channels to stay informed about deals that are important to your company. Two feed channels, Deals Won (usually named #deals-won) and Deals to Watch (usually named #deals-to-watch) carry updates on closed: won deals and deals that are important to your company. ## Organize Your Sales Channels in Slack When you start working with your sales and feed channels, make channels easier to find by grouping like channels into one section in Slack. #### See Also - [_Slack Help:_Introducing Channel Search](https://slack.com/blog/productivity/introducing-channel-search-for-slack) # Fixing Legacy Partner Connect Export, Import, and Update Issues Vendor and partner admins can learn how to build and run a Partner Connect Status report, interpret the results, and work with their peer admin to resolve problems.

To monitor usage, access your org’s Digital Wallet. Slackbot Consumption draws on Flex Credits only after your Slack plan's pre-allocated message allowance is exhausted. For more information on how Flex Credits usage is billed, refer to your contract or contact your account executive. Review your org’s licenses and Digital Wallet to determine how your org is billed. - Flex Credits billing is supported only for connections to production Salesforce orgs that have Flex Credits. Slack doesn't currently support drawdown from Sandbox orgs, since there's no sandbox equivalent for Slackbot today. - For plan-level Slackbot inclusion details, see [Slackbot limits and credit usage](https://slack.com/help/articles/53579676130195-Slackbot-limits-and-credit-usage) in Slack Help. The number of Flex Credits consumed is based on the number of units of each usage type used, multiplied by the multiplier listed on the Flex Credits rate card for the usage type. ## Messages and Actions A single message to Slackbot doesn't always equal a single billable action. One message can trigger multiple actions depending on what it asks Slackbot to do. For example, asking Slackbot "Can you find a message that I sent to Mr. Smith?" might run several underlying tool calls (a search plus a user lookup), but is billed as just 1 Standard Action, since all the calls serve one outcome and the lookup is accessory to the search. A message can also span both action types. Asking Slackbot to "Find our latest updates on Project X and put them into a slide deck" runs Slack search calls (consolidated into 1 Standard Action) plus a Create Slides call (1 Advanced Action). This is billed as 1 Standard Action and 1 Advanced Action. ## How Slackbot Actions Are Billed Each time you send a message and Slackbot responds, that’s one turn. Slackbot bills actions according to these rules. - Only user-visible actions are billed. Internal and system actions aren’t metered. - Each unique tool is billed once per turn. Tool-call errors aren’t billed. - Multiple create or update calls toward the same outcome in one turn count as a single action. - Actions are grouped by outcome, not by implementation. A tool that's later split or refactored internally still bills the same way. - All MCP tool calls count as one Standard Action, except Salesforce MCP tool calls, which are unmetered. - Every turn bills at least one Standard Action, even with zero tool calls, or when only unmetered tools were invoked. ## Flex Credits Usage Types for Slackbot In Digital Wallet, Slackbot consumption for customers with Flex Credits is tracked on the Flex Credits consumption card in these usage types. To check multipliers for each usage type, see the Slackbot section within the [Flex Credits Rate Card](https://www.salesforce.com/agentforce/rates/). Your contract determines the cost per credit. | Digital Wallet Consumption Card | Usage Type | Usage Type Description | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Flex Credits | Slackbot Standard Action | The default billable unit for a user-visible tool call. Covers most native Slack and Salesforce actions, including search, reads, and writes to records, canvases, lists, calendars, automations, and messages, along with MCP tool calls other than Salesforce MCP calls, which aren’t metered. | The meter runs once per unique tool per turn. Multiple calls toward the same outcome, such as three searches to find the right thread, are grouped and billed as one action. | | Flex Credits | Slackbot Advanced Action | Premium, higher-value functionality, including deep research, report and dashboard creation, reading Salesforce files, and creating or editing slides, documents, or spreadsheets in third-party tools. | Advanced Actions bill in addition to any Standard Actions in the same turn. A single message can generate both. | Some Slackbot actions are unmetered. Internal or system-level actions, such as tool discovery or MCP routing, are not billed, because they aren't user-visible outcomes. Accessory tool calls that only support billable actions, such as a user lookup that enables a search, also aren't charged separately. #### See Also - [Billing Considerations for Slackbot](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_slackbot_billing_considerations.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Slackbot uses native Slack and Salesforce tools to complete tasks, and Slackbot can use Standard and Advanced Actions to do things like research, build reports, or generate content. Use of Slackbot Standard Actions or Advanced Actions impacts the consumption of credits in these usage types.") - [Set up Flex Credits for Slackbot usage](https://slack.com/help/articles/54291336348051-Set-up-Flex-Credits-for-Slackbot-usage) - [Slackbot limits and credit usage](https://slack.com/help/articles/53579676130195-Slackbot-limits-and-credit-usage) # Get Started with Financial Services Cloud for Slack After your Salesforce admin installs the Financial Services Cloud for Slack app in your team’s Slack workspace, get the app from Slack and connect it to your Salesforce user account.

From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Slack Guided Setup and select it. 2. Click **Start Slack Setup**. 3. In Create a Slack workspace, click **Get Started**. 4. Enter a name for your Slack workspace, then click **Save**. To learn more about how to customize your new workspace, visit [Getting started for workspace creators](https://slack.com/help/articles/217626298-Getting-started-for-workspace-creators) in the Slack Help Center. ## Step 2: Add Slack Conversations to Salesforce Record Pages After you create a workspace, you can configure the Slack channel component to appear on Salesforce record pages. The Slack component is a standard page component that allows users to access Salesforce channels on record pages you choose. 1. In Add Slack conversations to record pages, click **Add**. 2. In Slack Channels for Records, select **\+ Add Objects** in the top-right corner. 3. Search for and select the objects that you want to add. 4. To open a record page in Lightning App Builder, click the relevant page under Record Pages and then click **Edit**. 5. To add Slack conversations to the record page, drag the **Slack** component onto the canvas and save your changes. 6. Return to Guided Slack Setup and select **I am done with this step**. For more information on configuring Slack channels in Salesforce, see [Set Up and Manage Salesforce Channels in Your Org](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_salesforce_channels_setup.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Configure Salesforce channels to help users collaborate on projects directly in a record and communicate with teammates in a unified channel across Salesforce and Slack. You can make Salesforce channels available on your record pages using the Slack panel or the Slack Lightning web component – no Marketplace app to install."). ## Step 3: Grant User Access to Slack When your Slack workspace is ready, you can allow your users to access it. You can invite all internal users in your Salesforce org or manage access using an identity management tool, such as Okta. If you like, you can also manually invite members via Slack to grant access to a more customized set of users. 1. In Grant users access to Slack automatically, click **Manage**. 2.

User Permissions Needed
To get the latest PRM dashboards: Run Reports AND Create and Customize Dashboards
Every release, an automated process delivers the latest PRM report and dashboard improvements to your org. But if the release occurs before you configure setup on a particular feature, related analytics aren’t included. Rather than waiting for the next release’s automated process to deliver updated versions, you can get the latest reports and dashboard by generating them manually. When you create the latest PRM reports and dashboards manually, a new version of each predesigned report and dashboard is added to your PRM analytics folders. Previously released versions of reports and dashboards are retained. 1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter PRM, and then select **Channel Management**. 2. From the Get the Latest Reports and Dashboards section, click **Create**. Creating reports and dashboards sometimes takes a few minutes. 3. Go to your Reports and Dashboards folder and check the new versions to verify that any missing items are available. The new versions have the same name as the originals, but the version number is appended to the file name. If you still don’t see the reports, dashboard widgets, or analytics metrics you were looking for, verify that you completed the setup properly for the related features. Correct any missed steps, and then try creating the latest reports and dashboards again.

Partner admins require the Customize Application permission and the Partner Connect Partner Admin Setup permission set. ### Required Editions
User Permissions Needed
To assign permission sets to users: Customize Application
1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Permission Sets, and then select it. 2. Find the Partner Connect Partner Admin Setup permission set and assign it to yourself or to another user who you want to act as the partner admin for Partner Connect. This permissions set contains the Set Up Partner Connect for a Partner Org permission, which gives a Salesforce admin access to the Partner Connect page in the Integrations section of Setup. 3. Assign the Customize Application permission to the partner admin, if it isn't already assigned. See [Enable User Permissions in Permission Sets](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.perm_sets_app_perms.htm&type=5&language=en_US). Remember that this permission gives the user access to configure many features and settings for your org from Setup. After assigning partner admin permissions, the partner admin can set up Partner Connect for a partner company. # Give Partner Users Permission to Use Partner Connect When vendor admins are ready to roll out Partner Connect, vendor admins must give partners the permission to export records from your Experience Cloud partner site. We also recommend verifying that partner users have permission to customize list views. That way, partners can add the Export Status field to their list views, so they can see which leads and opportunities have been exported to the partner org already. Salesforce admins don’t have access to the Export Status field, so you can’t add the field to list views on partner users’ behalf. ### Required Editions
Available in Lightning Experience in Enterprise and Unlimited Editions with Sales or Service. Vendors must purchase a PRM add-on license for the partner admin user and each partner user who exports records. Partners aren’t required to purchase PRM licenses to use Legacy Partner Connect.
User Permissions Needed
To assign permission sets to users: Customize Application
After your partner admin is done with field mapping, you can assign partner users the permissions to start using Partner Connect. Salesforce doesn't notify you when partner field mapping is complete, so check in with the partner admin if they don't follow up. 1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Permission Sets, and select it. 2. Find the Partner User Approved for Exporting Records permission set. This permissions set contains the Export Vendor Records to Authorized Partner Org user permission. 3. Assign the permission set to Partner Connect users. Or if you want to give partner users permission to customize list views, first clone the permission set, then add the Create and Customize List Views permission to the clone. Then assign the cloned permission set to partner users. ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-salesforce_prm-264-0-0-production-enus/35cdbed0-3c5d-4ddb-94ea-c7445aa90b95/images/icon_note.png) Note Vendor admins don't have access to the Export Status field on Lead and Opportunity.

To do so, the vendor admin must assign the Partner Admin Approved for Vendor Org Connection permission set to the partner admin. Vendor admins must repeat this task each time they want to connect with a new partner Salesforce org. ### Required Editions
Available in Lightning Experience in Enterprise and Unlimited Editions with Sales or Service. Vendors must purchase a PRM add-on license for the partner admin user and each partner user who exports records. Partners aren’t required to purchase PRM licenses to use Legacy Partner Connect.
User Permissions Needed
To assign permission sets to users: Customize Application
Before assigning the Partner Admin Approved for Vendor Org Connection permission set to your partner admin, create a partner user that represents your partner admin. See [Establish the Vendor-Partner Relationship in Salesforce](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_setup_prereq_establish_relationship.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Salesforce admins at both companies must create records that establish the vendor-partner relationship in Salesforce. Admins provide these records during Partner Connect setup."). The Partner Admin Approved for Vendor Org Connection permission set includes two user permissions. - The Establish an Approved PRM External Integration user permission acknowledges that the partner admin is a trusted contact on behalf of whom Salesforce creates a named credential in your org. The named credential verifies the secure connection between orgs by using the External Client App service. - The API Enabled user permission lets the partner admin use Partner Connect to make API requests to your org via the Partner Connect external client app. This permission is required to let Partner Connect share data across the vendor and partner org according to the integration settings that you put in place during Partner Connect setup. ![Warning](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-salesforce_prm-264-0-0-production-enus/35cdbed0-3c5d-4ddb-94ea-c7445aa90b95/images/icon_warning.png) Warning Assign the permission set only to trusted individuals whose identity you can verify. To establish the connection, the partner admin must access Setup from their own org. Consider verifying with the partner company that the person you select is a person who is assigned the Customize Application permission in their org. 1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter PRM, and then select **Partner Connect for Vendors**. 2. Under Configure, find the Give Partner Admins Permission to Connect section, and click **Go to Permission Sets**. 3. From the Permission Sets list, find the Partner Admin Approved for Vendor Org Connection permission set and assign it to the partner admin that you want to connect with. See [Manage Permission Set Assignments](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.perm_sets_manage_assignments.htm&type=5&language=en_US). After giving partner admins permission to connect, you're ready to invite the partner admin to establish the connection. Doing so sends an email to the partner admin, inviting them to complete your connection request from their org. #### See Also - [Legacy Partner Connect Security and Design](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_security.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "External Client Apps allow Partner Connect to establish a secure connection between a vendor and partner Salesforce org using APIs and security protocols.

After a secure connection is established, partners can export approved records from the vendor’s Experience Cloud site to their own partner org. Both vendors and partners get a view of how progress is going in the opposite system from a read-only child record that Partner Connect creates automatically.") # Giving Users Access to the PRM for Slack App After you install PRM for Slack in your workspace, all users in your workspace with the appropriate permissions can access it. ### Required Editions

With the appropriate permissions, partner account managers (PAMs) manage partner channels, where they can add partners, search and post Salesforce records, and approve new deals. Users with the correct access can also edit records from within PRM for Slack. # How Does a Sales Channel Work? Check out what a sales channel looks like and how it can help you and your sales team keep selling directly from Slack. Sales channels are notified about changes to opportunity records (1). Notifications are sent when the Amount, Stage, or Close Date fields are updated on an opportunity linked to the channel. The record details that other channel members can see (2) depends on the Record Detail Settings your Salesforce admin set for Slack apps in Salesforce Setup. The sales channel also provides one place to give status updates, share related records, post files, and ask questions about the sale (3). ![A sales channel with an opportunity notification, a restricted record name, and a post to the channel by a member about the deal](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-slack_apps-264-0-0-production-enus/68481d6c-8c01-419d-9d5c-ebe6efa3b5f3/slack_apps/images/sales_slack_sc_overview.png) Members see each linked record pinned to the channel description. All members can quickly find, view, or edit those records, right from the sales channel. ![A Salesforce Account and a Salesforce Opportunity pinned to the sales channel](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-slack_apps-264-0-0-production-enus/68481d6c-8c01-419d-9d5c-ebe6efa3b5f3/slack_apps/images/sales_slack_sc_pinned.png) Channels can be public or private, to more precisely manage who’s involved in the sales process and when they’re brought into the conversation. And because the conversation is housed in Slack, team members can always access past conversations just by scrolling or searching the channel. #### See Also - [Best Practices for Creating Sales Channels](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_apps_sales_sc_best_pract.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "To avoid introducing duplicate channels and ensure that the channels you create are easy to find, follow these best practices before you start creating channels.") - [Create Sales Channels from Slack](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_apps_sales_create_sales_channels_from_slack.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "You can create sales channels in Slack from the Sales Cloud for Slack app. After creating the sales channel, open it and invite members.") - [Create Sales Channels from Salesforce](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_apps_sales_create_sales_channels_from_salesforce.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "You can create sales channels directly from opportunity or account records.

Available in Lightning Experience in Enterprise and Unlimited Editions with Sales or Service. Vendors must purchase a PRM add-on license for the partner admin user and each partner user who exports records. Partners aren’t required to purchase PRM licenses to use Legacy Partner Connect.
## Kicking Off Legacy Partner Connect Across Salesforce Orgs To get started with Partner Connect, vendor and partner admins work together to set up the product. Admins securely connect their Salesforce orgs, agree on which lead and opportunity fields are integrated, and configure the user experience. When both orgs are ready to roll out the feature, vendor admins assign permission to only the partner users who they want to export records. During setup, admins kick off an automated connection process in which Partner Connect deploys an external client app and a PRM External Integration User to both orgs. These services work together to securely transfer data during export and import. See [Partner Connect Security](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_security.htm&type=5&language=en_US). ## Exporting and Importing Records After setup is complete, partner users can log in to the vendor’s Experience Cloud partner site (1), select leads or opportunities of interest, and export the records to the partner’s own Salesforce org. If Partner Connect exports the records successfully from the vendor’s org (2), Partner Connect then attempts to import the records to the partner’s org (3). ![Diagram of a vendor org, the vendor's partner site, and a partner org, showing the user logging in to the partner site (1), exporting leads and opportunities (2), and the partner site attempting to import the leads and opportunities (3)](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-salesforce_prm-264-0-0-production-enus/35cdbed0-3c5d-4ddb-94ea-c7445aa90b95/salesforce_prm/images/prm_pc_diagram_export_import.png) Because Partner Connect doesn’t override the vendor’s sharing settings, partner users can see only the records that vendors want them to see from the Experience Cloud site. Vendor and partner admins can further limit which objects and fields can be exported during Partner Connect setup. For example, say a vendor admin makes a subset of their accounts, contacts, leads, and opportunities available from the partner site. Vendor and partner admins can then configure Partner Connect to let partner users export leads, opportunities, or both. If the vendor and partner agree to export opportunities only, they can further narrow what data is sent during the export by limiting the opportunity fields that they want to share. So if a vendor has 25 fields on their opportunity, but they want the partner to export the data for only 10 of those fields, the vendor admin proposes that selection during setup. During their own setup, the partner admin can further narrow what’s shared by agreeing to import only a subset of the vendor’s proposed 10 fields. So maybe in the end, only 6 or 7 fields are exported and imported. Upon import, a version of each exported vendor record is created in the partner’s org. Now, because a version of each exported record exists in each org, vendor users and partner users can update their own versions, so each version can evolve independently over time. ## Sending Record Updates Across Salesforce Orgs During setup, the vendor admin can also choose whether they want updates between the original vendor record and the new partner record to continue to flow between the two orgs. Doing so can provide vendor and partner users with a glimpse of how their peer’s record is progressing over time. In this way, both companies can track distinct data on shared business by saving unique sales stages, deal size, or deal outcome, and the other org can follow along efficiently. Vendors can opt to send and receive updates on up to 10 fields for each object that they integrate with a partner. Because vendor admins can choose by field, the vendor has fine-tuned control over what data is exported one time versus what data is shared over time. As a result, the companies can be transparent about their mutual interests while maintaining data privacy where it’s required. If vendors choose the option to send and receive updates between orgs, a read-only version of the record is also created on the Connected External Lead or Connected External Opportunity object. The original vendor record and the partner’s connected external record are mapped across orgs. Every time a vendor user updates a field that the vendor admin elected to send and receive updates for, that change is shown in the partner’s org on the corresponding connected external record. ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-salesforce_prm-264-0-0-production-enus/35cdbed0-3c5d-4ddb-94ea-c7445aa90b95/images/icon_note.png) Note The Account Name and Primary Campaign Source lookup fields on the Opportunity object are exceptions. A vendor can propose these fields for integration, but a partner can see only the name of the referenced field. These lookup fields don’t support sending or receiving updates. ![A diagram showing two orgs, with the original vendor opportunity linked to the partner's connected external opportunity](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-salesforce_prm-264-0-0-production-enus/35cdbed0-3c5d-4ddb-94ea-c7445aa90b95/salesforce_prm/images/prm_pc_diagram_partner_cnncted_extl_rec.png) After a partner user makes an update to a field for which updates are sent and received, a read-only version of the partner’s imported record is created in the vendor’s org. Every time a partner user updates a field on the imported record, that change is shown in the vendor’s org on the corresponding connected external record. ![A diagram showing two orgs, with an imported partner opportunity linked to the vendor's connected external opportunity](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-salesforce_prm-264-0-0-production-enus/35cdbed0-3c5d-4ddb-94ea-c7445aa90b95/salesforce_prm/images/prm_pc_diagram_vendor_cnncted_extl_rec.png) Salesforce admins can add the Connected External Leads and Connected External Opportunities related lists to their Lead and Opportunity records. Doing so lets users see the connected external lead and opportunity records that reflect the latest data saved in the peer’s system (1). In this example, the vendor and partner who shared this opportunity decided to integrate the fields that show their opportunity stages (2) but not the amounts of their opportunities (3). ![The exported opportunity in the partner's org highligting the read-only connected external opportunity (1) and the empty account field that the vendor didn't share (2).](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-salesforce_prm-264-0-0-production-enus/35cdbed0-3c5d-4ddb-94ea-c7445aa90b95/salesforce_prm/images/prm_pc_partner_rec.png) # How Legacy Partner Connect Helps Vendors and Partners Integrate Shared Business Vendors and partners already work together to sell complementary products and services. Why not incorporate technology that makes collaboration easier? Partner Connect lets vendors and partners automate lead and opportunity management between their Salesforce orgs to save time, collaborate transparently, and increase revenue.
Available in Lightning Experience in Enterprise and Unlimited Editions with Sales or Service. Vendors must purchase a PRM add-on license for the partner admin user and each partner user who exports records. Partners aren’t required to purchase PRM licenses to use Legacy Partner Connect.
## Selling with Your Partners, Not Through Them Strategic partnerships between vendors and partners can play out in a multitude of ways. For vendors and partners who sell shared solutions to customers collaboratively, managing deals across companies can become tedious. Manual steps, multiple points of contact, and incompatible technology introduce inefficiency for sellers and reduce selling velocity. Partner Connect streamlines collaborative selling because it provides visibility on shared deals while allowing vendors and partners to work from the comfort of their own Salesforce orgs. Partners users can log in to the vendor's Experience Cloud partner site, peruse the leads or opportunities that the vendor has provided access to, and select records of interest (1). Then a partner can securely export selected records to the partners own Salesforce org (2). Our external client apps service authorizes the connection, ensuring a secure data exchange. ![An opportunity list view in an Experience Cloud partner site highligting four selected opportunities for the Acme account (1) and highlighting the Export to My CRM button (2).](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-salesforce_prm-264-0-0-production-enus/35cdbed0-3c5d-4ddb-94ea-c7445aa90b95/salesforce_prm/images/prm_pc_partner_exp.png) Vendors set the tone of the collaboration by establishing which objects and fields are shared and which partner users are allowed to export records. And because Partner Connect doesn’t override the vendor’s record sharing settings, partners can export only records that partners have access to from the partner site. ## Tracking How Shared Business Evolves Because working and tracking deals independently is essential for vendors and partners to drive the success of their own businesses, Partner Connect doesn't keep shared deals in sync across orgs. Instead, after a vendor’s record is imported into the org of an authorized partner, each version can evolve independently, so sellers at both companies can set their own sales stages and deal sizes. And sales leaders at both companies can track and analyze their own deal progress. But vendors and partners also crave visibility into their collaborators' side of the business. Maybe the vendor who originally sourced the exported leads wants to analyze which leads were converted to opportunities that the partner won. Or maybe partner sellers can identify upsell opportunities on vendor deals, but because partners can't access the deals, potential revenue is lost for both companies. To achieve the visibility necessary to sell together effectively, Partner Connect provides vendors and partners with a read-only glimpse of their peers' version of the shared deal. ![Connected external opportunity related list on an imported opportunity](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-salesforce_prm-264-0-0-production-enus/35cdbed0-3c5d-4ddb-94ea-c7445aa90b95/salesforce_prm/images/prm_pc_cnctd_extl_oppty.png) Only the fields that vendors and partners agree on integrating are shared, so companies choose to integrate only the data necessary for their business partnership to flourish. ## Supporting Unique Selling Relationships Partner Connect provides the flexibility to nurture multiple vendor-partner relationships and to assume the role that best aligns with your arrangement. Vendors can connect and share records with up to 50 unique partner orgs. ![A diagram showing a vendor org connected to three unique partner orgs](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-salesforce_prm-264-0-0-production-enus/35cdbed0-3c5d-4ddb-94ea-c7445aa90b95/salesforce_prm/images/prm_pc_diagram_multi_partner.png) Partners can connect with up to 50 vendors.

Partners users log in to a vendor’s Experience Cloud partner site to export records from approved objects to the partner's Salesforce org. Exported records remain connected across orgs, giving users from both companies a read-only glimpse of how records progress independently for each company.
Available in Lightning Experience in Enterprise and Unlimited Editions with Sales or Service. Vendors must purchase a PRM add-on license for the partner admin user and each partner user who exports records. Partners aren’t required to purchase PRM licenses to use Legacy Partner Connect.

Available in Lightning Experience in Enterprise and Unlimited Editions with Sales or Service. Vendors must purchase a PRM add-on license for the partner admin user and each partner user who exports records. Partners aren’t required to purchase PRM licenses to use Legacy Partner Connect.
- Partner Connect can support record integration with multiple companies. Each org can establish up to 50 connections as a vendor, and up to 50 connections as a partner. But the same two orgs can’t establish multiple connections between them, even if you play a different role in each connection. For example, if you establish a connection as the vendor, you can’t establish a second connection with the same org in which you play the partner. - Sometimes you’re required to adjust your object and field settings to prepare objects for integration across orgs. To make sure you’re able to make any required adjustments, review the setup prerequisites. - During setup, vendors select the objects and fields that they want to map with their partner’s org. Then Salesforce sends an email for each proposed object mapping to the partner admin, asking them to respond with their own object and field mappings. Each email contains a JSON script that a partner must import into Setup to view the vendor’s proposal. - If the partner admin can’t locate their field-mapping email from Salesforce, the vendor admin can resend the email. Vendor admins can go to their previously saved mappings and select **Email Field Mapping** from the actions dropdown menu. - To locate emails, partners can search for emails with “Partner Connect” in the subject. - Vendor admins can edit their fields selected for integration to share additional fields or reduce the fields they’re sharing. But the partner org doesn’t get exports or updates for newly added fields until the partner admin revisits Setup and gets the vendor’s latest mappings. To get the latest mappings, partner admins can update the JSON for that object and then map any additional fields - Vendor org users can’t export records from the vendor’s partner site to the partner org. Only partner users can export records. - Each record can be imported to the partner’s org one time only. If partner users attempt to export a record again, that export is skipped. To see which records have been previously exported, partner users can add the Export Status field to their Lead and Opportunity list views, but vendor admins must give them the permission to do so. See [Give Partner Users Permission to Use Partner Connect](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_setup_vendor_user_perm_set.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "When vendor admins are ready to roll out Partner Connect, vendor admins must give partners the permission to export records from your Experience Cloud partner site. We also recommend verifying that partner users have permission to customize list views. That way, partners can add the Export Status field to their list views, so they can see which leads and opportunities have been exported to the partner org already. Salesforce admins don’t have access to the Export Status field, so you can’t add the field to list views on partner users’ behalf.") - After exporting records, a partner user sees a message confirming whether the export attempt was successful. But even successful exports can result in unsuccessful imports to the partner org. Partner Connect sends an email that lists the number of successful, unsuccessful, or skipped imports to the last partner admin who saved the field mappings in the partner org. Admins in either org can prepare a Partner Connect status report to observe export and import issues and evaluate next steps for troubleshooting persistent issues. #### See Also - [Legacy Partner Connect Roles and Responsibilities](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_roles_responsibilites.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "After a vendor company selects a partner company with whom they want to integrate records, companies must designate a vendor admin and partner admin.

If you’re a vendor admin, you see export and update issues only (because vendor orgs don’t import data). If you’re a partner admin, you can see import and update issues only (because vendor orgs don’t export data). ## Outbound Statuses: Export and Update
Status What it Means Action for Admin to Take
Duplicate Export Skipped The record was skipped because it was previously exported to the partner org. No further action is necessary.
Exported

The record was successfully exported. For the data to be successfully delivered to the partner org, the partner org must see a corresponding inbound transaction status of Imported.

If the vendor admin has elected to send and receive record updates between orgs, a connected external record was also created in the partner’s org.

No further action is necessary.
Exported: Connected Record Create Error The record was successfully exported, but the corresponding connected external record failed to be created in the partner’s org.

If the issue occurs once or infrequently, no action is required. In most cases, the connected external record is eventually created in the partner org and updated accordingly when a vendor user edits an integrated field on the corresponding vendor record, realigning the connected records.

If the issue occurs repeatedly, it indicates a configuration issue. Vendor and partner admins can verify that they followed the prerequisites for field mapping. See Planning Object and Field Integration for Legacy Partner Connect.

If all prerequisites are met, the vendor admin must delete and recreate the field mappings for this object. After a vendor deletes and remaps their fields, the partner’s field mappings are also removed, and the partner must also remap their fields.

Exporting The record is in the processing of exporting.

Wait for the export to complete or fail to discern if any further action is necessary.

Exports that remain in progress for more than 60 seconds are no longer attempted, and the export is attempted again if a partner user manually retries from the vendor’s Experience Cloud partner site.

If the same record continues to fail to move beyond the Exporting status, contact Salesforce Customer Support.

Not Exported: Connection Error The export failed due to a connection authentication issue between the vendor and partner orgs. Vendor and partner admins must delete their connections and step through the initial setup again. See Delete Connections and Turn Off Legacy Partner Connect.
Not Exported: External Error The export failed because of an opportunity or lead save error in the partner’s org.

The vendor admin must contact the partner admin and ask them to check their email for any import issues around the date and time listed in the Last Modified Sent field for this transaction. The partner admin can rely on their IT professional for help with interpreting any technical descriptions in the csv file attached to the email.

If additional help is needed, the partner admin must contact Salesforce Customer Support.

Not Exported: External Export Error The export failed because Partner Connect encountered an issue with the partner’s ability to receive the transaction data from the vendor org.

If the issue occurs once or infrequently, no action is required. If the issue occurs repeatedly, the vendor admin must contact the partner admin and ask them to check their email for any import issues around the date and time listed in the Last Modified Sent field for this transaction. The partner admin can rely on their IT professional for help with interpreting any technical descriptions in the csv file attached to the email.

If additional help is needed, the partner admin must contact Salesforce Customer Support.

Not Exported: External Field Mapping Error The export failed because Partner Connect encountered an issue with the partner’s field mappings for this connection.

Vendor and partner admins can verify that they followed the prerequisites for field mapping. See Planning Object and Field Integration for Legacy Partner Connect.

If all prerequisites are met, the vendor admin must delete and recreate the field mappings for this object. After a vendor deletes and remaps their fields, the partner’s field mappings are also removed, and the partner must also remap their fields.

Not Exported: Internal Error The export failed because of an unknown error in the vendor org. If the issue occurs once or infrequently, no action is required. If the issue occurs repeatedly, we recommend that the vendor org contacts Salesforce Customer Support.
Not Exported: Internal Field Mapping Error The export failed because Partner Connect encountered an issue with the vendor’s field mappings for this connection.

Vendor and partner admins can verify that they followed the prerequisites for field mapping. See Planning Object and Field Integration for Legacy Partner Connect.

If all prerequisites are met, the vendor admin must delete and recreate the field mappings for this object. After a vendor deletes and remaps their fields, the partner’s field mappings are also removed, and the partner must also remap their fields.

Update Not Sent: Can’t Find External Record Your org can’t send this update because Partner Connect can’t find the parent lead or opportunity record in the external org. You must contact the admin at the external org and ask them to check that the corresponding parent lead or opportunity record exists, and either admin can contact Salesforce Customer Support.
Update Not Sent: Connection Error Your org can’t send this update due to a connection authentication issue occurring in your org. If the issue occurs once or infrequently, no action is required. If the issue occurs repeatedly, vendor and partner admins must delete their connections and step through the initial setup again. Delete Connections and Turn Off Legacy Partner Connect.
Update Not Sent: External Delivery Error Your org can’t send this update because Partner Connect encountered an issue with the external org’s ability to receive the transaction data you’re sending.

If the issue occurs once or infrequently, no action is required. If the issue occurs repeatedly, you must alert the admin at the external org. Recommend that they check that the PRM External Integration User has Create, Read, Update, and Delete access to the platform event External Record Share Event (ExtlRecShrEvent). The admin at the external org can rely on their IT professional for help.

If the PRM External Integration User has the necessary access, we recommend that the admin at the external org contacts Salesforce Customer Support.

Update Not Sent: External Field Mapping Error Your org can’t send this update because Partner Connect identified an issue with the field mappings for this object in the external org.

Vendor and partner admins can verify that they followed the prerequisites for field mapping. See Planning Object and Field Integration for Legacy Partner Connect.

If all prerequisites are met, the vendor admin must delete and recreate the field mappings for this object. After a vendor deletes and remaps their fields, the partner’s field mappings are also removed, and the partner must also remap their fields.

Update Not Sent: Internal Field Mapping Error Your org can’t send this update because Partner Connect identified an issue with your field mappings for this object.

Vendor and partner admins can verify that they followed the prerequisites for field mapping. See Planning Object and Field Integration for Legacy Partner Connect.

If all prerequisites are met, the vendor admin must delete and recreate the field mappings for this object. After a vendor deletes and remaps their fields, the partner’s field mappings are also removed, and the partner must also remap their fields.

Update Not Sent: Internal Unknown Error Your org can’t send this update because of an unknown error in your org. If the issue occurs once or infrequently, no action is required. If the issue occurs repeatedly, we recommend that you contact Salesforce Customer Support.
Update Sending Your org is in the process of sending an update.

Wait for the update to complete or fail to discern if any further action is necessary.

Most updates that remain in the Update Sending status eventually resolve the next time one of your users edits an integrated field on the same record, and both the missed and new updates are saved to the corresponding connected record in the external org at the same time.

You or another user in your org can check whether the issue resolves automatically by attempting another update on the record and running the report again.

Update Sent Your org sent a record update to the external org. For the update to be successfully delivered to the external org, the external org must see a corresponding inbound transaction status of Update Received. No further action is necessary.
## Inbound Statuses: Import and Update
Status What It Means Action for Admin to Take
Imported

The record was successfully imported.

If the vendor admin has elected to send and receive record updates between orgs, a connected external record was also created in the partner’s org.

No further action is necessary.
Imported: Save Error on Connected External Record The record was successfully imported, but the corresponding connected external record failed to be saved in the partner’s org.

If the issue occurs once or infrequently, no action is required. In most cases, the connected external record is eventually created in the partner org and updated accordingly when a vendor user edits an integrated field on the corresponding vendor record, realigning the connected records.

If the issue occurs repeatedly, we recommend that you contact Salesforce Customer Support.

Update Not Received: Field Mapping Error Your org can’t receive this update because Partner Connect can’t map the external org’s field mappings to your field mappings.

Vendor and partner admins can verify that they followed the prerequisites for field mapping. See Planning Object and Field Integration for Legacy Partner Connect.

If all prerequisites are met, the vendor admin must delete and recreate the field mappings for this object. After a vendor deletes and remaps their fields, the partner’s field mappings are also removed, and the partner must also remap their fields.

Update Not Received: Save Error on Connected External Record Your org can’t receive this update because the corresponding connected external record failed to save the changes.

If the issue occurs once or infrequently, no action is required. In most cases, updates that were missed are sent the next time a user in the external org updates an integrated field on the same record. Both the missed and new updates are saved to the corresponding connected record in your org at the same time.

If the issue occurs repeatedly, compare the connected external object for this record and verify that you configured each field to exactly match the corresponding field on the parent object (lead or opportunity).

You could also get more information by having a partner user attempt to export a different but similar record as a test. If you’re able to trigger the same issue, the resulting import notification email sent to the partner admin includes a detailed error message in the attached csv file.

Update Not Received: Unknown Error Your org can’t send this update because of an unknown error. If the issue occurs once or infrequently, no action is required. If the issue occurs repeatedly, we recommend that you contact Salesforce Customer Support.
Update Received Your org received a record update sent from the external org and saved it to the corresponding connected external record. No further action is necessary.

Available in Lightning Experience in Enterprise and Unlimited Editions with Sales or Service. Vendors must purchase a PRM add-on license for the partner admin user and each partner user who exports records. Partners aren’t required to purchase PRM licenses to use Legacy Partner Connect.
- Only the Lead and Opportunity objects can be integrated across vendor and partner orgs. - Standard and custom fields with these field types are supported for integration. - - Address - Checkbox - Currency - Date - Date/Time - Email - Geolocation (Latitude and Longitude) - Number - Percent - Phone - Picklists (except multi-select) - Time - Text and Text Area (except Text (Encrypted), Text Area (Long), and Text Area (Rich)) - URL - Related records aren’t shared during record exports or updates, but partners can continue to view related records from the vendor’s org on the vendor’s partner site. - When selecting which objects and fields to integrate, vendor admins indicate which fields they want to be included for export. Of the exported fields, vendor admins can also select fields for which they want to updates to be sent and received between the vendor and partner Salesforce orgs. For each partner connection, vendor admins can send and receive updates on up to 10 fields per object. - Most lookup fields aren’t supported for integration, except the Account Name and Primary Campaign Source lookup fields on the Opportunity object. A vendor can mark these fields for export, but a partner can only import the name of the referenced field. These lookup fields don’t support sending or receiving updates. - Partners can attempt to export up to 200 records from a vendor’s partner site at one time. - Encrypted fields, regardless of whether they use Classic Encryption or Shield Platform Encryption, aren’t supported for integration. - To maintain optimum performance, Salesforce balances Lightning Platform API transaction loads by imposing a limit on the number of API requests an org is permitted to make over a 24-hour period. Record exports, imports, and updates made with Partner Connect can cause a partner’s org to reach their 24-hour limit, depending on the number of calls permitted per 24 hours (based on the org’s Salesforce edition). The amount of data and number of records exported, imported, or updated within 24 hours also impacts this limit. If your company consistently reaches the 24-hour API call limit, we recommend limiting the number of partner users you invite to export records, or mapping fewer fields between orgs. - Vendor admins don't have access to the Export Status field on Lead and Opportunity. So vendor admins can't add Export Status to list views on Lead and Opportunity record detail pages in the Experience Cloud partner site. Instead, vendor admins can assign the Create and Customize List Views permission to partner users and tell them to create their own list views that include the field. #### See Also - [Integrating Shared Business Across Salesforce Orgs with Legacy Partner Connect](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_parent.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Legacy Partner Connect lets vendors and partners work leads and opportunities together, providing visibility on shared business across Salesforce orgs.

Then decide how you want to map your objects and fields to your vendor’s selections. In some cases, you can decide not to import or store fields that you don’t want, even if your vendor opted to share them. To import data into your Salesforce org successfully, make sure that you understand how your vendor uses every field they want to share, and verify that your selections meet the mapping requirements. ## Map All Your Required Fields to a Required Field in the Vendor's Org Make sure that all required fields on your object are mapped to a field on the vendor’s side that is also required. Otherwise, records can’t be saved and the import fails. In many cases, vendors and partners have the same required fields, and you can simply map each together. But if you introduced custom required fields and your vendor hasn’t shared logical matches, consider these options.  - Set default values for required fields on your Lead and Opportunity objects so a placeholder value is available if no vendor data is imported. Default values aren’t available for all required fields but are available for custom fields and standard picklists. If the vendor record provides a value, the default value you set is overwritten. Default values are supplied when all records are created, even manually by users. But users can update the default value later. See [Define Default Field Values](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.fields_defining_default_values.htm&type=5&language=en_US). - Create an auto-launched Flow that makes before-save updates to populated required fields on imported records. See [Record Triggers for Flows that Make Before-Save Updates](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.flow_concepts_trigger_record.htm&type=5&language=en_US). - Ask your vendor to share a field with similar data or to create one to represent it. The vendor must set a default value for the field in their org or make the field required. If one of your vendor’s required fields isn’t required in your org, you aren’t required to map it. ## Compare Field Types with Your Vendor - Mapped fields must have the same field type. If the field you use to track something is a different field type than your vendor’s, consider creating a field on your object to receive the vendor’s data. Or choose not to import that field from your vendor. - If your vendor proposed any fields of the field type Picklist, verify that you have similar picklist options to select in your org. If you don’t, create them. - If your vendor proposed any fields of the field type Currency, make sure that both orgs are using the same currency or currencies for those objects. See [Manage Multiple Currencies](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.admin_currency.htm&type=5&language=en_US). - If a vendor proposed the Account Name and Primary Campaign Source lookup fields on the Opportunity object, you can import only the name of the referenced field. ## Compare Data Tracking Processes with Your Vendor Review your vendor’s fields and field descriptions. Confirm that you and your vendor agree on the information that you expect to track with each field that you’re integrating. Don’t forget to train your users on any data tracking process changes. ## Take Note of the Fields that Trigger Updates Across Orgs Vendors choose whether updates for integrated fields are sent and received between orgs. ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-salesforce_prm-264-0-0-production-enus/35cdbed0-3c5d-4ddb-94ea-c7445aa90b95/images/icon_note.png) Note The Account Name and Primary Campaign Source lookup fields on the vendor’s Opportunity object don’t support sending or receiving updates. If you want to store the read-only updates sent from the vendor, you must configure storage for each field the vendor selects on the Connected External Lead or Connected External Opportunity objects. But even if you don't want to store the vendor's field data, your org's field data is still shared with the vendor. ## Select a Default Assignee for Imported Records When mapping fields, you must select a default user in your org to whom all imported records are assigned. Select a user who’s responsible for triaging and assigning work. Or create a nonhuman placeholder user to act as owner until a real person can be assigned. You can choose different default users for each object. The default user must have Read and Write permissions to the object that it’s responsible for. #### See Also - [Map Your Preferred Objects and Fields to Your Vendor’s Org](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_prm_pc_setup_partner_map.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "After your vendor selects their object and field mappings, you get an email for each object.

Admins must have the bandwidth to collaborate on Partner Connect planning, setup, and maintenance. If record export, import, or update issues occur, an IT professional at the partner company can also offer support. | Role | Details | | --- | --- | | Vendor admins | A Salesforce admin at the vendor company. Vendor admins initiate each phase of Partner Connect planning and setup. During setup, vendor admins must designate a partner admin, including assigning partner admins permissions within the vendor Salesforce org. Vendor admins also run error reports and, when necessary, work with the partner admin and the partner IT professional to resolve issues. | | Partner admins | A Salesforce admin at the partner company. Partner admins respond to vendor admin requests for planning and completing Partner Connect setup. Partner admins also receive setup and import status emails. Partner admins also run error reports and, when necessary, work with the vendor admin and the partner IT professional to resolve issues. | | Partner IT professional | We recommend that partner companies also recruit an IT professional to occasionally assist partner and vendor admins. Technical experience can be useful in identifying or resolving export and import issues.

As vendor and partner admins work through Partner Connect setup, Partner Connect deploys a dedicated app to each org that uses OAuth 2.0 client credentials to securely integrate the two orgs. After a secure connection is established, partners can export approved records from the vendor’s Experience Cloud site to their own partner org. Both vendors and partners get a view of how progress is going in the opposite system from a read-only child record that Partner Connect creates automatically.
Available in Lightning Experience in Enterprise and Unlimited Editions with Sales or Service. Vendors must purchase a PRM add-on license for the partner admin user and each partner user who exports records. Partners aren’t required to purchase PRM licenses to use Legacy Partner Connect.
## External Client Apps for Legacy Partner Connect The admin at the vendor company initiates the Partner Connect setup process between orgs. After turning on the Partner Connect setting, the vendor admin provides some basic information about the partner company and partner admin with whom they wish to connect. Then Salesforce invites the partner admin to complete the connection request by email, which includes turning on Partner Connect in their own org. After the partner admin turns on Partner Connect in the partner org, Partner Connect automates creating these items in both orgs. - An external client app that represents the external org’s connection to your org. External client app names are prepended with PRM Partner: or PRM Vendor: and appended by the name of the account record for the external org who you’re connected to. For example, after setup is complete, a vendor admin sees an external client app with a name such as PRM Partner: CTW Sales Agents. The partner admin sees an external client app such as PRM Vendor: Pacifica Inc. - A user named PRM External Integration User and an assigned integration user license called PRM External Integration. The integration user is authorized to export records from the vendor to the partner org and update records between the vendor and partner in both directions. - A paired named credential and external credential. - PRM Partner Named Credential or PRM Vendor Named Credential (appended with the name of the account record for the external org). The named credential identifies the external org’s URL. - PRM Partner External Credential and PRM Vendor External Credential (appended with the name of the account record for the external org). The external credential pairs with the corresponding named credential to gain authorization to the external org as the PRM External Integration user to automate writing exported records and updates to connected external records. After these items are successfully created, a secure connection is established between the vendor and partner orgs. You can’t modify these items after they’re created. If you’re experiencing an issue with any of the items after they’re created, we recommend that both Partner Connect admins delete their connections and step through connection setup again. ## Authentication During Export After a partner user attempts to export records from the vendor’s partner site, the named credential, external client app, and the integration user work together to authenticate the vendor org to the partner org. Here’s how the export authentication flow works. - First, a trusted partner user (who the vendor admin designates by assigning Partner Connect export permissions), logs in to the vendor’s partner site and selects records to export to the partner’s own org. The partner org’s URL is obtained from the PRM Named Credential in the vendor org. - Next, the Salesforce OAuth 2.0 token endpoint validates the PRM External Credential. This process lets the vendor org obtain a token to authenticate to the partner org on behalf of the PRM External Integration User. The Salesforce OAuth 2.0 token endpoint includes a consumer key and consumer secret unique to the PRM\_Connection external client app. Partner Connects makes an API call that uses the vendor’s PRM Named Credential and the retrieved token. Doing so creates a platform event that includes the exported record data requested by the partner user. - Partner Connect makes an API call using the vendor’s PRM Named Credential and the retrieved token. Doing so creates a platform event that includes the exported record data requested by the partner user. The PRM External Integration User only has access to complete these two actions during export. - To read exported record data selected by partner users from the vendor’s org. A partner user can export only the records that the vendor org’s sharing settings, organization-wide access levels, and object and field security allow the partner to see. - To write the exported record data to the partner’s org. Data can be written only to the partner org that the vendor admin authorized during Partner Connect setup. ## Authentication During Updates After a record is successfully exported from a vendor’s partner site and successfully imported into the authorized partner org, Partner Connect lets users in both orgs track how the record evolves over time. To make that information available across orgs, Partner Connect maps the vendor’s original record and the partner’s newly imported record across orgs, establishing and maintaining a connection. A read-only version of the vendor’s record is also created in the partner’s org and established as a child record to the imported record. If the original record was a lead, the read-only record is created on the Connected External Lead object. If the original record is an opportunity, the read-only record is created on the Connected External Opportunity object. Both vendors and partners get a view of how progress is going in the opposite system by viewing the read-only record from a related list in their own org. After a vendor user updates a field that's set to integrate, the named credential, external client app, and the integration user work together to authenticate the vendor org to the partner org. Then Partner Connect writes the vendor user’s updates to the partner org’s connected record. The three steps described in the export authentication flow then occur in the opposite direction, from vendor to partner. After a partner user updates a field that's set to integrate, a read-only version of the partner’s record is created in the vendor’s org. The read-only version is established as a child record to the original record. The named credential, external client app, and the integration user work together to authenticate the partner org to the vendor org. Then the same three steps described in the export authentication flow are repeated to write the partner user’s updates to the vendor org’s connected record. The PRM External Integration User has access to complete only two actions during a record update. - To read record updates made by partner and vendor users. Updates are permitted only for objects and fields that Partner Connect admins elected to integrate during Partner Connect setup. - To write updated record data to the connected external record in the external org.

Vendor admins kick off planning by creating a list of the items they want to integrate into the partner’s org. Sometimes admins from either org are required to customize their Lead or Opportunity objects to integrate records smoothly. 2. **[Creating Records That Establish the Vendor-Partner Relationship](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_setup_prereq_establish_relationship.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** Salesforce admins at both companies must create records that establish the vendor-partner relationship in Salesforce. Admins provide these records during Partner Connect setup. 3. **[Verifying Partner Users and Record Access](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_setup_prereq_verify_partner_access.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** For partner users to export records, partners must have permission to access the record from the vendor’s Experience Cloud partner site. Before you begin Partner Connect setup, we recommend that vendor admins check that partner users have the level of access that the vendor wants. # Limitations for Searching and Sharing with the Trailhead App in Slack When you search for or share content in the Trailhead Slack app, your experience can be affected by the type of account you connected and the content you're accessing. ### Required Editions

Lastly, you select the fields that you want to map to your vendor’s fields. If your vendor elected to send and receive field updates across orgs, you must also review storage options. ### Required Editions
User Permissions Needed
To map objects and fields in the partner org:

Customize Application

AND

Set Up Partner Connect for a Partner Org

Before mapping objects and fields, verify that you’ve planned for mapping objects and fields with your vendor admin and managed your required fields. If your vendor admin elected to send and receive updates for any fields, you must also create the necessary fields to store updates on Connected External Lead and Opportunity. ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-salesforce_prm-264-0-0-production-enus/35cdbed0-3c5d-4ddb-94ea-c7445aa90b95/images/icon_note.png) Note The Account Name and Primary Campaign Source lookup fields on the Opportunity object are exceptions. A vendor can propose these fields for integration, but a partner can see only the name of the referenced field. These lookup fields don’t support sending or receiving updates. 1. Check your email for a message or two from Salesforce that says your vendor is ready to map fields. You get a separate email for each object that your vendor wants to integrate. 2. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Integrations, and then select **Partner Connect**. 3. Under Connect, find the vendor company connection that you added. From the Map Objects and Fields to Your Vendor’s Org step, click **Map Objects & Fields**. ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-salesforce_prm-264-0-0-production-enus/35cdbed0-3c5d-4ddb-94ea-c7445aa90b95/images/icon_note.png) Note To edit mappings for an object that was previously mapped, select **Edit** from the actions dropdown menu. 4. Select an object that you want to map to one of the objects the vendor proposed to integrate. Then click **Next**. 5. Get your vendor’s proposed mappings. Paste the JSON script from the email that you received from Salesforce into the JSON Script field and click **Next**. 6. Select a default user to whom all imported records for this object are automatically assigned as the owner. Then click **Next**. Select a person who’s responsible for triaging and assigning work. Or create a user to act as a placeholder owner until a user who’s a real person can be assigned. The default user must have Read and Write access to the object you’re mapping. 7. Select the fields that you want to integrate with your vendor’s fields. You must map all required fields to the required field of a vendor. See [Partner Connect Object and Field Integration Considerations for Partners](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_setup_partner_manage_req_fields.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Review your vendor’s plan for integrating objects and fields. Then decide how you want to map your objects and fields to your vendor’s selections. In some cases, you can decide not to import or store fields that you don’t want, even if your vendor opted to share them. To import data into your Salesforce org successfully, make sure that you understand how your vendor uses every field they want to share, and verify that your selections meet the mapping requirements."). You’re required to map only the fields that you want to. Mapping a field results in the vendor’s field data being exported to your org when a partner exports a record. If the vendor elected to send and receive updates for that field, mapping it also lets partner data updates on the field flow to the vendor org. Likewise, vendor data updates for the field flow to your org. Updates from the vendor’s org are saved in your org on the Connected External Lead or Opportunity object. 8. For each field in which you want to store your vendor’s field data updates, select the **Store Vendor Updates** checkbox. If the checkbox isn’t available for a field, your vendor didn’t elect to send and receive updates for this field between orgs. 9. For each field that you want to store, select a corresponding field from the connected external object where you want to store this field data locally. Then click **Save**. The last partner admin who saves the field mappings in the partner org gets an email after a partner user exports a selection of records. The email lists the number of successful, unsuccessful, and skipped imports. 10. To integrate another object, click **Map Objects & Fields** from the vendor connection and repeat steps 4 to 9. Salesforce doesn’t notify your vendor admin when you’re done mapping fields, so we recommend confirming when you’re finished. Partner users can’t export records from your vendor site until all vendor and partner setup steps are complete. Check in with the vendor admin to see if they’re ready to roll out Partner Connect to users. #### See Also - [Prepare Legacy Partner Connect Objects for Connected External Records](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_setup_prepare_cnnctd_extl_objects.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "To let your users see and track the progress of shared leads and opportunities, you can opt to store a read-only version of the other org’s record in your own org.

Available for partners in supported Experience Cloud sites, accessed through Lightning Experience in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, Developer Editions with Sales or Service. A PRM add-on license is required for each partner user.
Role Responsibilities
Vendors Your company and its representatives are known collectively as a vendor of the goods or services that you provide.
Partners

Individuals who don’t work for your company, but with whom your company collaborates with to achieve business goals. You can collaborate and communicate with partners by building a partner site using Experience Cloud and adopting the PRM for Slack app.

Through these interfaces, partners can track opportunities, get lead and fund approvals, learn insights into deal progress, coordinate marketing campaigns, and manage customer service cases.

Channel managers

Also known as channel account managers. The person or persons at your company who work directly with partners and manages the channels in which partners interact.

Channel managers monitor deal progress, create partner incentives, and coordinate partner enablement. At some companies channel managers are also responsible for creating business accounts for partnering companies, or for creating partner users.

Salesforce admin

The person who can access Setup and customize Salesforce for your company.

To get your company started with Partner Relationship Management and PRM for Slack, a Salesforce admin must give channel managers and partners access to PRM features. Salesforce admins also assign user roles to the channel managers, create partner accounts, and determine record security levels.

Salesforce admins introduce features that help channel managers oversee partner activity and performance, such as productivity metrics.

Salesforce admins also enable products and features in Salesforce that help partners be more productive in partner sites, such as sales, service, and marketing features.

Site developer

The person who uses Digital Experiences to build the Experience Cloud sites where partners complete their daily tasks. Site developers work with Salesforce admins and channel managers to customize workflows that support partner goals, activities, and needs. Sometimes site developers are also responsible for adding key documentation or collateral to partner sites.

At some companies, Salesforce admins hold the role of site developer.

Slack admin or Enterprise grid admin

The person who can access Slack setup and customize PRM for Slack for your company.

Slack admins manage permissions and workspaces in Slack and enable the app for installation on all Channel Manager workspaces. Enterprise Grid admins manage permissions and settings for the Slack Enterprise Grid licensed workspaces.

Sometimes, the Slack admin, Enterprise Grid admin, and Salesforce admin are the same person.

Enablement team The people at your company who design and run enablement programs. Channel managers should collaborate with this team if you are using Partner Enablement.

This scope is used to enable users to authenticate to Salesforce once across multiple Slack apps. | # Planning Object and Field Integration for Legacy Partner Connect To avoid revisiting your Partner Connect setup, we recommend that vendors and partners meet to agree on a clear plan for integrating objects and fields across Salesforce orgs. Vendor admins kick off planning by creating a list of the items they want to integrate into the partner’s org. Sometimes admins from either org are required to customize their Lead or Opportunity objects to integrate records smoothly.
Available in Lightning Experience in Enterprise and Unlimited Editions with Sales or Service. Vendors must purchase a PRM add-on license for the partner admin user and each partner user who exports records. Partners aren’t required to purchase PRM licenses to use Legacy Partner Connect.
- **[Legacy Partner Connect Object and Field Integration Considerations for Vendors](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_setup_prereq_mapping_plan_vendor.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** Share key details about your object and field integration with your partner admin. Sometimes you must adjust objects, fields, or customize other settings to accommodate discrepancies in how each Salesforce org stores data. - **[Legacy Partner Connect Object and Field Integration Considerations for Partners](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_setup_partner_manage_req_fields.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** Review your vendor’s plan for integrating objects and fields. Then decide how you want to map your objects and fields to your vendor’s selections. In some cases, you can decide not to import or store fields that you don’t want, even if your vendor opted to share them. To import data into your Salesforce org successfully, make sure that you understand how your vendor uses every field they want to share, and verify that your selections meet the mapping requirements. # Prepare for Financial Services Cloud for Slack Before you turn on the Financial Services Cloud for Slack app and roll it out to your users, complete some initial setup steps in Salesforce. ### Required Editions

## Assign App Permissions Assign these Financial Services Cloud for Slack permissions to relevant users, Salesforce admins, and Slack admins who completed setting up the Financial Services Cloud for Slack app. By doing so, users can access Salesforce data from Slack and admins can add the Financial Services Cloud for Slack app to Slack workspaces: - The Slack Capabilities app permission - The Connect Salesforce with Slack system permission You can assign Financial Services Cloud for Slack app permissions in either of these ways: - Assign these permissions to existing permission sets that are already assigned to relevant users and admins. - Create a permission set, add the permissions, and assign the permission set to either relevant users and admins or to relevant user profiles. For more information, see [User Permissions](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.admin_userperms.htm&type=5&language=en_US) or [Create Permission Sets.](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.perm_sets_create.htm&type=5&language=en_US) ## Verify That Users Have Object Permissions to View and Edit Records from Slack Object permissions control users' access to view, create, edit, or delete records of a specific object within the application. Salesforce admins can update their users' access by [editing object permissions in user profiles](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.perm_sets_object_perms_edit.htm&type=5&language=en_US). ## Verify the Fields Users Can Access from Slack When users view or edit Salesforce records from Slack, users can access the abbreviated view. This view is defined by an object’s compact layout and all required fields on that record. Without access to the required fields, users can’t save new or updated records from Slack. You can adjust the [compact layouts](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.compact_layout_overview.htm&type=5&language=en_US) for accounts, financial deals, interactions, and interaction summaries. If you’ve never set your compact layouts, a default one is provided. You can change the required fields from [Object Manager](https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/setup-quick-look/learn-to-use-setup-and-the-object-manager), but usually fields are marked as required as part of a business decision that's made by your company. Consider whether it's worth losing that faithfully tracked data point to avoid showing the field in Slack. # Prepare Legacy Partner Connect Objects for Connected External Records To let your users see and track the progress of shared leads and opportunities, you can opt to store a read-only version of the other org’s record in your own org. The Connected External Lead and Connected External Opportunity objects store these read-only records. Learn how vendor and partner admins can prepare the connected external objects to make sure they're ready to save the read-only records for Partner Connect. ### Required Editions

AND

Set Up Partner Connect for a Partner Org

Before you prepare the connected external objects for storing records, we recommend that vendors and partners review their field mapping plans together. Doing so lets you know for which fields you’re sending and receiving updates and the field types required to save the updates locally. Vendor admins decide whether record updates are sent and received between vendor and partner orgs when they set up Partner Connect. Vendors can opt to send and receive updates on up to 10 fields for each object that they integrate with a partner. ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-salesforce_prm-264-0-0-production-enus/35cdbed0-3c5d-4ddb-94ea-c7445aa90b95/images/icon_note.png) Note The Account Name and Primary Campaign Source lookup fields on the Opportunity object are exceptions. A vendor can propose these fields for integration, but a partner can see only the name of the referenced field. These lookup fields don’t support sending or receiving updates. Then, to give users access to their peers’ record updates, vendor and partner admins must create fields to store the read-only data on the connected external objects. ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-salesforce_prm-264-0-0-production-enus/35cdbed0-3c5d-4ddb-94ea-c7445aa90b95/images/icon_note.png) Note To avoid storing the updates that a vendor opts to send, the partner admin can skip creating the storage field for it on the connected external object. But the partner’s own org data for that field is still shared with the vendor. 1. From Setup, in the Quick Find Box, enter Partner Connect. Vendor admins select **Partner Connect for Vendors**. Partner admins select **Partner Connect**. 2. Create fields on the connected external objects for storing each field that you want users to see from your org. 1. Under Configure, find the section for preparing objects for record storage. If you’re storing updates on any Lead fields, go to the object manager for Connected External Lead. If you’re storing updates on any Opportunity fields, go to the object manager for Connected External Opportunity. 2. From the Object Manager, create a field on the connected external object for every field that you’re planning to store for your users. Each connected external field that you create must have the same field type as the integrated vendor field and partner field it's storing. ![Important](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-salesforce_prm-264-0-0-production-enus/35cdbed0-3c5d-4ddb-94ea-c7445aa90b95/images/icon_important.png) Important Field names for external connected fields can be different from both the vendor and partner org's Lead and Opportunity field names. If you create any connected external fields that are picklists, we recommend deselecting the Restrict picklist to the values defined in the value set setting. Or, if you want to restrict picklist values for the connected external field, the values must exactly match the Opportunity or Lead picklist values that represent the same data from your own org. Otherwise, Partner Connect can't save the picklist value from the other org to the connected external record. 3. Repeat steps 2a and 2b for every integrated object for which you're sharing updates that you want to store locally. ![Example](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-salesforce_prm-264-0-0-production-enus/35cdbed0-3c5d-4ddb-94ea-c7445aa90b95/images/icon_example.png) Example To store the standard opportunity field Stage, you must create a field to store that data on the Connected External Opportunity object. Say the other company uses the field name Status for that field. You can name the Connected External Opportunity field Stage, Status, or something else entirely. But the connected external field type must be Picklist. Deselect the Restrict picklist to the values defined in the value set setting, unless you want to create a connected external picklist value to exactly match each of your Opportunity Stage picklist values. After vendors and partners finish preparing their connected external objects, they’re ready to connect orgs. #### See Also - [Planning Object and Field Integration for Legacy Partner Connect](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_setup_prereq_mapping_plan.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "To avoid revisiting your Partner Connect setup, we recommend that vendors and partners meet to agree on a clear plan for integrating objects and fields across Salesforce orgs.

Doing so gives users access to Salesforce data from Slack, and allows admins to add the Sales Cloud for Slack app to Slack workspaces. - The app permission Slack Sales User - The system permission Connect Salesforce with Slack You can assign Sales Cloud for Slack app permissions in either of these ways: - Assign these permissions to existing permission sets that are assigned to relevant users and admins. - Create a new permission set, add the permissions, and assign the permission set to relevant users and admins or to relevant user profiles. For help, see [User Permissions](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.admin_userperms.htm&type=5&language=en_US) or [Create Permission Sets](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.perm_sets_create.htm&type=5&language=en_US). ## Verify That Users Have Object Permissions to View and Edit Records from Slack Salesforce object permissions control users’ access to view and edit accounts, contacts, leads, and opportunities from the Sales Cloud for Slack app. For example, to view opportunities from Slack, a user must have the Read permission for opportunities. To edit an opportunity, a user must have the Edit permission for opportunities. Salesforce admins can update their users' access by [editing object permissions in user profiles](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.perm_sets_object_perms_edit.htm&type=5&language=en_US). ## Verify Which Fields Users Can Access from Slack When you work with Salesforce records from Slack, you can adjust the record layout for accounts, leads, and opportunities. You can change required fields from the Object Manager, but usually, fields are marked as required as part of a business decision made by your company. Without access to the required fields, users can’t save new or updated records from Slack.

Last, enable Opportunity Field History for the opportunity Next Step field. ## Plan Your Sales Channel Strategy To make sure that your teams get the most out of sales channels, work with someone at your company in a sales operations or sales leadership role. Together, you can determine your strategy and how sales channels best fit into your sales process. Then share your strategy with anyone who you give permission to create sales channels.
Why and when to create a sales channel

Decide why your teams need sales channels and let that decision determine when to create them. For example:

  • Create sales channels to align and collaborate with your team and cross-functional partners. Typically, this type of collaboration happens after the Discovery or Qualification stages or at any time you need your team to rally around a quote or proposal. Sales channels are also helpful if multiple sales reps are selling different products to the same account.
  • Create sales channels to introduce an informational hub for nonessential team members to stay up to date on a deal or an account’s history. Choose this type of collaboration when your deal specifics are established and you’re ready to share updates with others.
How many sales channels to create The number of sales channels that you need depends on your deal volume and your sales team. If you cover a couple accounts that have multiple opportunities, or you work with the same sales team across all your opportunities, a single sales channel can make sense. If you have 20 opportunities or your sales team changes across opportunities, it makes more sense to set up multiple sales channels.
Who to invite to the sales channel When you set up the sales channel, add your core sales team members to the channel. As deals progress through the sales cycle, add other cross-functional team members that have roles in the later stages. For example, your Legal counsel or contract approver isn’t included in the demo stages of your deal. Add those team members as the deal reaches phases that include contract discussions. Also consider whether to create a public or private channel. Any stakeholder can join public channels. To join a private channel, an existing channel member must invite the stakeholder. You can't set a private channel to public later.
What to name a sales channel Establish a common naming convention to make it easy for your sales teams to find sales channels and prevent team members from creating duplicate channels. For example, #oppty-opportunity-name, #acct-account-name, or #sales-acct-name-oppty-name is a convention you can use that’s based on which records are in the channel. You can also establish conventions based on the purpose of the channel, as described in the Why and when to create a sales channel section.
## Manage Roles to Add Sales Teams to Feed Channels If you prefer not to use role hierarchy to assign groups to feed channels, create a channel available to everyone in your Salesforce org. Then either automatically add everyone to the channel or let users decide to join manually based on their own interest. You can use Salesforce roles to add members to feed channels during the setup process in Salesforce. Consider setting up role hierarchy so you can add groups of Salesforce users as channel members. See [Controlling Access Using Hierarchies](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.security_controlling_access_using_hierarchies.htm&type=5&language=en_US). ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-slack_apps-264-0-0-production-enus/68481d6c-8c01-419d-9d5c-ebe6efa3b5f3/images/icon_note.png) Note While the role that you add gains channel access, roles above the added role in your role hierarchy don’t automatically inherit channel access. You can also add members one-by-one later in Slack. # PRM for Slack PRM for Slack enables real-time collaboration between partner account managers (PAMs) and partners.

Result Description
Average Prediction Score

The overall predicted likelihood to reach the outcome defined in the model, across the first 2000 records in the report.

In Einstein Discovery, a prediction is a derived value, produced by a model, that represents a possible future outcome. You can think of a prediction as the output of a predictive model that is based on the inputs of predictor variables that the model accepts.

Top Predictors The conditions that most significantly drive the predicted outcome, in decreasing order of magnitude. A condition is a data value associated with a column. In Einstein Discovery, a predictor consists of one or two conditions.
How to Improve this Outcome

Suggested action, based on prescriptive analytics, that a user can take to improve the likelihood of a desired outcome. Improvements are associated with actionable variables, which are explanatory variables that people can control. Taking a suggested action can improve the predicted outcome. An improvement is analogous to a prescription in prescriptive analytics.

Improvements are shown based on the model's actionable variables. Actionable variables are optional. If no actionable variables are configured, improvements aren’t shown in results.

Records Least Likely to Reach a Successful Outcome

The records in the report with the strongest predicted likelihood to be unsuccessful, among the first 2000 records in the report. Success is based on the goal defined in the model.

Requires binary classification model.

Teams can access, update, and share records, manage their pipelines, and get important notifications about top accounts and opportunities—all directly from Slack. - See, update, and share accounts, contacts, leads, and opportunities. - See and manage your sales pipeline. - Get reminders in Slack about upcoming close dates, unchanged stages, and unchanged next steps for opportunities that you own. - Drive discussion on key deals using sales channels. From Slack or Salesforce, sales channels let you link accounts and opportunities to Slack channels. Channel members get notified in Slack when records are updated. Plus, teams can find sales channels easily from a related list on their Salesforce records. - Streamline important announcements in Slack using feed channels. Feed channels automatically announce when deals with a high probability of closing are won or increase in value so everyone on your team can stay in the loop. - If your company uses Flow Builder to automate behavior, Salesforce admins can design flows that invoke Slack actions based on Salesforce behaviors. For example, set up an action to create Slack channels for deals that are above a certain dollar amount. Automatically invite sales teams to key channels so that they’re always part of the conversation. Or archive channels whenever a deal is closed. #### See Also - [Setting Up Sales Cloud for Slack for Your Salesforce Users](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_apps_sales_set_up_sales_cloud_for_slack_parent.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Get Salesforce users up and running with the Sales Cloud for Slack app. First, review the app considerations so you know what to expect with Sales Cloud for Slack.

Finishing a swarm sets the end date and time and changes the status and all associated swarm members to Closed. It also frees up space on agents’ Omni-Channel presence configurations so that they can accept more work. And it shows who’s involved in a swarm in reports. - **[Reopen a Swarm in Slack](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_apps_service_reopen_swarm_slack.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** Easily reopen a closed swarm if the issue wasn’t resolved or further collaboration is needed in Slack. Reopening a swarm changes the swarm record’s status from a Closed status to an Open one. And, based on how you decide to reopen the swarm, you can open the swarm with the same swarm members or add new ones. # Salesforce Apps for Slack Limitations Learn about limitations in the Salesforce apps for Slack. Salesforce for Slack apps currently include these limitations. ## Compact Layout for Record Views Salesforce records that are displayed in Slack using the legacy dynamic layout are subject to Slack’s block limit, which is 100 blocks in a modal. If a record is too large to be displayed or edited in a Slack modal, some fields aren’t shown. In this case, you’re prompted to view or edit the record in Salesforce. This prompt is contingent on whether the component is used within the sales app, service app, or another third-party view. For the best results, create your own Slack record layout if the issue persists. ## Label Localization Labels that are provided by the Slack client always use your Slack’s language setting. These labels aren’t localized if your Slack and Salesforce locales are different. For example, these labels are provided by Slack and they’re displayed based on your Slack’s language setting. - **(optional)** label on an optional input field - **Press 'enter' to submit** label for the hint text that appears below an input field - **Close** button label on a modal To ensure that your labels are localized correctly, change your Slack language to match the Salesforce language. Additionally, some labels continue to be displayed in English only during the beta release. ## Blackjack Not Supported At this time, Salesforce for Slack isn’t certified with the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). Salesforce for Slack can’t be used within Blackjack. For additional information, refer to [Compliance Engineered in the Cloud](https://compliance.salesforce.com/en/fedramp-high). ## Object-Level Support for Slack Record Layouts Notes, Tasks, Events, and the creation of Swarms aren’t supported in Slack Record Layouts. To learn more, see [Object-Level Support for Slack Record Layouts](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack_apps_digital_hq_object_support.htm&language=en_US). # Salesforce Channels Salesforce channels bring the collaborative experience of Slack into Salesforce.

User Permissions Needed
To set up Partner Connect in a vendor org: Customize Application
Make sure you authorized this partner to connect with your org by assigning the Partner Admin Approved for Vendor Org Connection permission set. 1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter PRM, and then select **Partner Connect for Vendors**. 2. Under Connect, from the Invite Partners to Connect section, click **Add Partner**. 3. Provide the partner account for the company you’re working with and the username of your partner admin, and then click **Save and Email Partner**. Partner Connect adds the partner account name to the external client app created for this connection. That way, you and other admins at your company can see which external client app connects you to each partner org. Partner Connect emails partner admin notifications to the partner user that you provide. This vendor is added to the Partner list. An email is sent to the partner admin with details about your org and partner site that the partner admin must provide during their own Partner Connect setup. When the partner admin completes the connection between orgs, the connection status banner for this partner changes from Invitation Sent to Connected. But partner users can’t export records from your Experience Cloud partner site until all vendor and partner setup steps are complete. The next setup step for vendor admins is to select the objects and fields that you want to integrate with your partner’s org. You can proceed to that step before the partner admin completes the connection between orgs. #### See Also - [Give Partners Permission to Establish a Connection with the Vendor Org](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_setup_vendor_assign_partner_admin_perm_set.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Before Partner Connect allows a partner admin to establish a connection with a vendor org, the vendor admin must first acknowledge the partner admin as a trusted contact.

After a secure connection is established, partners can export approved records from the vendor’s Experience Cloud site to their own partner org.

During this step, vendors indicate which objects and fields contain data that they want partner users to be able to export. Vendors also select which field updates are sent and received across orgs and where the read-only partner version of the record is stored. Then we email the partner admin, asking them to select the objects and fields that they want to map to yours. ### Required Editions
User Permissions Needed
To set up Partner Connect in a vendor org: Customize Application
Before selecting objects and fields for integration, agree on a plan for mapping objects and fields with your partner. If you’re planning to send and receive updates across orgs, create the necessary fields on Connected External Lead and Opportunity to store updates. 1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter PRM, and then select **Partner Connect for Vendors**. 2. Under Connect, find the partner company connection that you added. From the Select Objects and Fields for Integration step, click **Select**. 3. Select an object that you want to integrate with your partner’s org, and click **Next**. Partner users can export records on the object that you select. Your partner can export only the records that your Experience Cloud site’s sharing settings, organization-wide access levels, and object and field security let the partner see. 4. Select the fields that you want to integrate with your partner’s org. Map all required fields. If the partner admin maps the same fields during their Partner Connect setup, data from the fields that you select in this step are included on the records that partners export from your partner site. 5. For each field in which you want updates to flow between the vendor and partner org, select the checkbox for Send & Receive Updates. You can send and receive updates on up to 10 fields per object. Updates from the partner's org are sent to the Connected External Lead or Opportunity object in your org. Updates from your org are sent to the partner's Connected External Lead or Opportunity object. ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-salesforce_prm-264-0-0-production-enus/35cdbed0-3c5d-4ddb-94ea-c7445aa90b95/images/icon_note.png) Note The Account Name and Primary Campaign Source lookup fields on the Opportunity object are exceptions. A vendor can propose these fields for integration, but a partner can see only the name of the referenced field. These lookup fields don’t support sending or receiving updates. 6. For each field that you elect to send and receive updates, select a corresponding field from the connected external object where you want to store this field data locally. Then click **Next**. 7. Enter the email address of your partner admin and click **Send Email**. We send an email to the partner admin to let them know it’s time for them to select objects and fields to map to yours. 8. To integrate another object, click **Select** from the partner company connection and repeat steps 3–7. After you select objects and fields for integration, it can take some time for your partner admin to complete their field mappings. Partner users can’t export records from your vendor site until all vendor and partner setup steps are complete. After your partner admin is done with field mapping, you can assign partner users the permissions to start using Partner Connect. Salesforce doesn't notify you when partner field mapping is complete, so check in with the partner admin if they don't follow up. #### See Also - [Planning Object and Field Integration for Legacy Partner Connect](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_setup_prereq_mapping_plan.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "To avoid revisiting your Partner Connect setup, we recommend that vendors and partners meet to agree on a clear plan for integrating objects and fields across Salesforce orgs.

First, remove the Slack channel component from the record page, and then delete the configuration for the object.") ## How Salesforce Channels Work Each Salesforce channel is connected to a specific record, such as an account or opportunity record. To create that connection, you add the Slack component for Salesforce channels to any record page for standard or custom objects (just like any other standard component). And because the Slack component is located directly on its corresponding record, only users with permissions to access the record can access the channel in Salesforce. ## Prerequisites and Considerations Some things to consider when setting up Slack channels in Salesforce: - Only users with these user license types can use Salesforce channels to collaborate internally on a record. - Salesforce - Salesforce Platform Login - Lightning Platform - One App - Force.com - App Subscription - Company Community User - External user licenses, such as Experience Cloud user license, are unsupported. - You can add the Slack channel component to desktop record page configurations only. - Access for Salesforce channels in Slack differs from Salesforce channels in Salesforce. In Salesforce, access to Slack channels is controlled by access to the corresponding record. In Slack, channel members have limited access to a Salesforce channel, even without access to the corresponding record. Learn more about access to Salesforce channels in [Security for Salesforce channels](https://slack.com/help/articles/32675871067283-Security-for-Salesforce-channels) in the Slack Help Center. ## Step 1: Connect Slack and Salesforce Your org may be connected to Slack as part of previous integrations with Slack. If so, you can proceed to the next step. 1. To begin the setup process, connect your Salesforce org and Slack. See [Connect Salesforce and Slack](https://slack.com/help/articles/30754346665747) in the Slack Help Center. 2. If you choose to automatically map users using either Email or SAML NameID, people can automatically use Salesforce channels in Salesforce. If you choose not to automatically map users or if users can’t be mapped, users can manually sign in to Slack when prompted to connect their Salesforce and Slack accounts. ## Step 2: Choose Supported Objects Choose which objects can use Slack channels in Salesforce. Users in Salesforce can view existing record channels or create new channels. If your Salesforce org previously used Salesforce channels in Slack, your existing supported objects are listed in the Slack Channels for Records page in Setup. 1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Slack Channels for Records and select it. 2. Click **\+ Add Objects** and select the objects that you want to use for Slack record channels. 3. Click **Add Objects** to finish. ## Step 3: Choose Where to Show Salesforce Channels After you complete the initial setup process, you can configure Salesforce channels to open in the Slack panel or the Slack component. - [Manage the Slack Panel on Record Pages](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_salesforce_channels_manage_panel.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "The Slack panel offers a streamlined way to view and collaborate in Salesforce channels. You can open and close the panel with one click, so it takes up less room on a record page than the Slack component when you aren’t using Salesforce channels.") - [Manage the Slack Lightning Web Component on Record Pages](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_salesforce_channels_manage_component.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Follow these guidelines to use Salesforce channels on a record page via the Lightning web component. When a record page contains a Slack channel component, users in Salesforce can view or create a Slack channel for that record.") ## Remove Salesforce Channels from an Object If you no longer need a Salesforce channel configuration for a specific object, you can remove it. First, remove the Slack channel component from the record page, and then delete the configuration for the object. 1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Slack Channels for Records and select it. 2. Under Record Pages, select an object type, then click **Edit** next to the record page you’d like to edit. 3. Locate the Slack channel component, click the **Delete** icon, and save your changes. 4. Repeat the previous step if you have more than one record page configuration listed for an object type. 5. From the Slack Channels for Records page, click the drop-down icon next to the configured object type, then click **Remove Object**. 6. Click **Remove Slack** to finish. #### See Also - [Slack Help Center: Connect Salesforce and Slack](https://slack.com/help/articles/30754346665747-Connect-Salesforce-and-Slack) - [Slack Help Center: Set up and manage Salesforce channels in Slack](https://slack.com/help/articles/32665140498195-Create-and-manage-Salesforce-channel-configurations) - [Slack Help Center: Invite new members to your workspace](https://slack.com/help/articles/201330256-Invite-new-members-to-your-workspace) - [Enable Collaboration with Swarming](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.service_swarming_intro.htm&type=5&language=en_US) # Set Up and Manage Slackbot in Salesforce Slackbot is a personal agent for work built right into Slack and Slack in Salesforce.

1. **[Turn On Legacy Partner Connect as a Vendor](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_setup_vendor_enable.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** To get started with Partner Connect, vendor admins must first turn on the feature from Setup. 2. **[Prepare Legacy Partner Connect Objects for Connected External Records](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_setup_prepare_cnnctd_extl_objects.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** To let your users see and track the progress of shared leads and opportunities, you can opt to store a read-only version of the other org’s record in your own org. The Connected External Lead and Connected External Opportunity objects store these read-only records. Learn how vendor and partner admins can prepare the connected external objects to make sure they're ready to save the read-only records for Partner Connect. 3. **[Add Export Buttons to the Vendor’s Partner Site](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_setup_vendor_add_export_button.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** To let partner users export records from the vendor’s Experience Cloud partner site to the partner’s Salesforce org, vendor admins must add the Export to My CRM button to object list views 4. **[Invite a Partner to Connect to Your Vendor Org](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_setup_vendor_invite_parent.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** Use Partner Connect to invite a partner admin to connect with your vendor org. 5. **[Add Connected External Object Related Lists to Leads and Opportunities](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_setup_add_cnnctd_extl_objects.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** If you opted to store read-only record updates made by users in the other Salesforce org, you must make those records available to your users. We recommend adding Connected External Lead and Connected External Opportunity as related lists to your Lead and Opportunity page layouts. Doing so lets users view their peer’s version of the record in the context of your org’s version of that same shared deal. 6. **[Give Partner Users Permission to Use Partner Connect](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_setup_vendor_user_perm_set.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** When vendor admins are ready to roll out Partner Connect, vendor admins must give partners the permission to export records from your Experience Cloud partner site. We also recommend verifying that partner users have permission to customize list views. That way, partners can add the Export Status field to their list views, so they can see which leads and opportunities have been exported to the partner org already. Salesforce admins don’t have access to the Export Status field, so you can’t add the field to list views on partner users’ behalf. # Set Up Pipeline Inspection for Partners Salesforce admins and Experience Cloud site developers must work together to set up Pipeline Inspection for partners in their Experience Cloud sites. First, Salesforce admins must turn on Pipeline Inspection and assign permissions to partners. Then Experience Cloud site developers must verify that the Enhanced List View component is added to the Experience Cloud site and published for partners. For vendors who purchase add-on licenses or are comfortable granting partners with more object permissions, more Pipeline Inspection features can also be configured. ### Required Editions
Available for partners in Experience Cloud Aura sites, accessed through Lightning Experience in Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions with Sales or Service. A PRM add-on license is required for each partner user.

Feed channels keep you in the loop about the deals that are most important to your company. To get started, join the #deals-to-watch and #deals-won channels. Feed channel members are notified when changes are made to qualifying Salesforce opportunities. If you can’t find these channels, ask your sales manager or Salesforce admin whether they’ve been set up for you or whether your admin gave them different names. The deals to watch feed channel notifies members when a Salesforce opportunity within a certain probability and amount range is created or updated. Salesforce admins can customize the probability percentage and range that triggers notifications. The deals won feed channel notifies members when the probability of a Salesforce opportunity is updated to 100. If you are using the default settings for the Stage field, probability is updated to 100 when the field is set to Closed Won. ![Deals Won feed channel in Slack with a Deal Won notification](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-slack_apps-264-0-0-production-enus/68481d6c-8c01-419d-9d5c-ebe6efa3b5f3/slack_apps/images/sales_slack_fc_overview.png) - **[Customize the Deals to Watch Feed Channel](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.slack_app_sales_customize_deals_to_watch.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** The deals to watch feed channel notifies members when a Salesforce opportunity within a certain probability and amount range is created or updated.

For Slack channels, the name of the new channel defaults to swarm-case-\[Case #\] to keep a consistent pattern in Slack. You can change the channel name, but naming changes affects the consistency of swarm channel names. The swarm owner defaults to the agent running the flow, but you can change the owner. For Salesforce channels, the name of the new channel defaults to the record name, and you cannot change the channel name. 2.

1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter PRM, and then select **Partner Connect for Vendors**. 2. Turn on Partner Connect. Turning on Partner Connect creates a user in your org named PRM External Integration User. That user automates some connection processes for you via our secure external client apps service. After turning on Partner Connect, you’re ready to prepare Partner Connect objects for partner record storage. #### See Also - [Legacy Partner Connect Security and Design](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_security.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "External Client Apps allow Partner Connect to establish a secure connection between a vendor and partner Salesforce org using APIs and security protocols. As vendor and partner admins work through Partner Connect setup, Partner Connect deploys a dedicated app to each org that uses OAuth 2.0 client credentials to securely integrate the two orgs. After a secure connection is established, partners can export approved records from the vendor’s Experience Cloud site to their own partner org. Both vendors and partners get a view of how progress is going in the opposite system from a read-only child record that Partner Connect creates automatically.") - [Disable, Reconnect, or Delete Legacy Partner Connect Connections](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=slack.prm_pc_disconnect_parent.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Vendor and partner admins have two options for preventing record exports, imports, and updates from flowing between Salesforce orgs. Admins can temporarily disable a vendor-partner connection so the Salesforce orgs can be reconnected easily. Or admins can fully delete a vendor-partner connection and turn off Partner Connect.") # Unfurled Links in Slack Messages Use URL unfurling to preview record home page details for standard objects in Slack when sharing salesforce.com or force.com links. Unfurling doesn’t account for non-record home links such as object home list views. URL unfurling is supported by the User Interface API. ### Required Editions

To gain access to PRM features, you must purchase the required licenses for each feature and your partner site must be built using Experience Cloud templates that support those features. Learn more about license requirements and feature availability in templates. ### Required Editions
Available for channel managers in Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, Developer Editions with Sales or Service. You must have at least one PRM add-on license.
Available for partners in supported Experience Cloud sites, accessed through Lightning Experience in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, Developer Editions with Sales or Service. A PRM add-on license is required for each partner user.
## PRM Add-On Licenses These Experience Cloud licenses provide access to PRM: - Partner Community license - Partner Community Login license - Channel Account license You must have at least one PRM license to configure PRM. An additional PRM license is required for each partner user. For some features, add-on licenses are also required. The table in this topic lists those requirements. Some PRM features are available to customers still using legacy partner portal licenses. We recommend [upgrading legacy partner portal license users to a comparable Experience Cloud license](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.networks_license_upgrade_eligible.htm&type=5&language=en_US). ## PRM-Supported Experience Cloud Templates Partners access PRM features from Experience Cloud sites, which are each built on an Experience Cloud site template. Vendors can choose from various templates that support PRM features. The Partner Central template, for example, comes configured with several channel sales workflows set up for you. Other templates support PRM features but can require more configuration by your Salesforce admin and Experience Cloud site developer. ## PRM User License and Template Support by Feature

# Verifying Partner Users and Record Access For partner users to export records, partners must have permission to access the record from the vendor’s Experience Cloud partner site. Before you begin Partner Connect setup, we recommend that vendor admins check that partner users have the level of access that the vendor wants. We recommend that vendor admins verify partner access to vendor records that’s provided in any of these ways. - Verify that the objects and fields that you want to share aren’t encrypted. See [Set Up Your Encryption Policy](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.security_pe_encrypt.htm&type=5&language=en_US). - Verify that [object permissions](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.users_profiles_object_perms.htm&type=5&language=en_US) and [field permissions](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.users_profiles_field_perms.htm&type=5&language=en_US) provide the access that you expect. Partner users must have at least Read permission on the objects you’re integrating to be able to see and export records on that object. - Verify that navigation to the shared objects is available from the vendor’s Experience Cloud partner site. See [Enable Objects for Experience Cloud Site Users](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.networks_enable_cases_for_external_users.htm&type=5&language=en_US). - Verify that account relationship sharing rules provide the access that you expect. You can use account relationship sharing to define the criteria for partner users to access specific records on an object. See [Account Relationships and Account Relationship Data Sharing Rules](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.networks_partner_account_relationships_and_sharing.htm&type=5&language=en_US). After vendor and partner admins complete the Partner Connect setup prerequisites, the vendor admin can kick off the Partner Connect setup process. # View and Access Custom Objects in Sales Cloud for Slack Keep your teams focused on operations by letting them create records using custom objects without switching to Salesforce.

# Work with Slackbot in Salesforce Navigate your workday with help from Slackbot, your personal agent for work. Anything you can do with Slackbot in your Slack workspace, you can also do with Slackbot wherever you work in Salesforce. Slackbot has the same context and access to information that you do, so answers are relevant and personalized. Start a conversation to prepare for your next meeting, analyze a record, or find almost anything. ### Required Editions
Available in: Lightning Experience
Available in: Essentials, Starter, Pro Suite, Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer Editions for Slack customers on a Slack Enterprise or Business+ plan (Business+ is limited to 15 messages per person per week in Salesforce editions other than Enterprise or Unlimited)
Available in: Enterprise and Unlimited Editions for Slack customers on all other plans, due to Digital Wallet requirements.
User Permissions Needed
To use Slackbot in Salesforce: Slackbot UI permission
From Salesforce, click ![Slackbot](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-slack_apps-264-0-0-production-enus/68481d6c-8c01-419d-9d5c-ebe6efa3b5f3/slack_apps/images/slackbot_icon.png) and ask Slackbot anything. Just like when you chat with Slackbot in Slack, Slackbot in Salesforce can search, summarize, and take action across both systems. Slackbot pulls in messages, files, and records to provide one connected view of your work. For example, if you start a conversation from a Salesforce record, Slackbot combines the information on the record with related Slack channel activity. So if you send Slackbot the prompt, "Summarize recent Slack activity for this account and flag any blockers," Slackbot returns a holistic view of that account, associated recent activity, and any issues. If you switch from Salesforce to Slack, you can use the history feature to access Slackbot conversations that you started in Salesforce. ![Example](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-slack-slack_apps-264-0-0-production-enus/68481d6c-8c01-419d-9d5c-ebe6efa3b5f3/images/icon_example.png) Example You're on an Opportunity record in Salesforce for a renewal that's stalled. Instead of digging through related lists and Slack separately, you ask Slackbot, "What's the latest on this deal? Are there any recent Slack conversations about it, and does the customer have any open cases?" Slackbot pulls in relevant Slack threads that mention the account, checks for open Cases tied to the record, and gives you a quick digest—so you walk into your next call already caught up, without ever leaving the record. #### See Also - [Slack Help Center: How to work with Slackbot](https://slack.com/help/articles/202026038-How-to-work-with-Slackbot?d=afx)
