Frequently Asked Questions about Salesforce + Slack integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Salesforce and Slack

Yes, you can configure different triggers and actions for various Salesforce events. For instance, a new lead in Salesforce can trigger a message to your sales channel, while an opportunity closing can notify your finance team channel. Each trigger-action pair can be customized based on your needs.
