Key considerations to keep in mind

To use PRM for Slack app customers need a Slack Enterprise Grid edition and Partner Community Licenses.

Required editions:

Available in: Lightning Experience with Salesforce for Slack Integrations Enabled

Available in: Enterprise and Unlimited Editions with Salesforce for Slack Integrations Enabled

Available in: Slack Enterprise Grid

Ensure a smooth setup process for PRM for Slack by keeping these requirements and limitations in mind:

  • 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. This requirement can be fulfilled by either the Logins and Members or the Partner Relationship Management SKUs.
  • Partners must have a Slack workspace before they can work with the PRM for Slack application. 

How does it work?

Well, the PRM for Slack app uses Slack Connect, which allows channels in Slack to be made with people from different organizations. So, a company can link its workspace with its partner organizations. The company then connects the PRM for Slack app to its Salesforce account, while partner users connect the app to their partner portal. Once these connections are established, all the data is shared between the company and its partners.

What do partners want? It’s an age-old question for vendors, suppliers, and those involved in sales or managing partnerships. We’ve made an effort to answer it for you.
