Salesforce Data Directly into Your Slack Canvases : 01
A powerful new enhancement that makes your Canvases smarter, more dynamic, and always up to date.
✨ Introducing Data Fields in Canvases
You can now add more granular Salesforce data directly into your Canvases using Data Fields — a brand-new way to surface live Salesforce information exactly where you need it.
Data Fields are bi-directionally synced fields, which means:
🔄 Your data is always up to date
✍️ Changes in Salesforce reflect instantly in the Canvas
🔁 Updates made in the Canvas sync back to Salesforce (where applicable)
No more manual updates. No more outdated snapshots.
🧩 What Are Data Fields?
Data Fields allow you to bring Salesforce record data into any section of a Canvas, giving teams real-time context while they collaborate.
With Data Fields, you can:
- Display key Salesforce fields inside a Canvas
- Add live CRM data alongside notes, plans, or workflows
- Keep sales, marketing, and service teams aligned with a single source of truth
Think of it as Salesforce data that lives and breathes inside your Canvas.
💡 Why This Matters
This update unlocks a whole new level of productivity:
- Better context — View critical Salesforce data without switching tabs
- Faster collaboration — Teams work with live data, not static screenshots
- Fewer errors — Always-on sync reduces manual copy-paste mistakes
- Smarter Canvases — Turn Canvases into living, data-driven workspaces
Whether you’re planning deals, tracking customers, or aligning teams, Data Fields keep everyone on the same page — literally.
📦 Availability
This feature is rolling out now for:
