Installing and Configuring the Salesforce Package
The Salesforce package is meant to be a companion app to organizations that have both Slack and Salesforce. It's not required for Centro to operate but provides additional valuable functionality. Namely:
- A Salesforce Lightning Web Component (LWC) that can be placed on any Lightning Page. This component allows viewing all related Slack Channel to the record that is currently being viewed. Users can also create new Slack channels and invite members from the LWC.
- A setup page to push new Leads or Cases directly to a specified Slack Channel, where the team can react more quickly and communicate rapidly with customers.
- Salesforce Flow Element for sending a message to a public, private or individually DM a user. Messages may include custom buttons, file attachments, and may persistently link the conversation with the Salesforce record to be viewed using the LWC.
- Salesforce Flow Element for creating a conversation and invite one or more members.
- Salesforce Screen Flow elements for selecting a Slack conversation and other Centro-related use-cases like selecting a file to send to Slack.
Requirements:
- A Salesforce org that operates in Lightning.
- Professional Edition and above are supported
- A Slack Workspace that has already installed the Centro Slack App
- The Centro Salesforce Package can be found in the Salesforce App Exchange
