Ask Your Pipeline Questions From Slack — No Dashboard Required
Your sales team lives in Slack. Your pipeline data lives in Salesforce. Until now, getting answers meant switching tabs, navigating dashboards, running reports, and hoping the data was current.
What if you could just ask?
Today we're shipping /asktheforce — a Slack slash command that lets anyone on your team query pipeline data, forecasts, deal risks, and rep performance in natural language. Directly from Slack. In real time.
How It Works
Type /asktheforce followed by any question about your pipeline. The command hits a native Apex REST endpoint inside your Salesforce org, analyzes your live data, and returns a rich Slack Block Kit response — all in under 2 seconds.
/asktheforce which deals are at risk?You get back a formatted card with deal names, values, stages, owners, and AI-powered risk analysis. No dashboard. No report. No context switching.
14 Built-In Intents
We've built pattern matching for the most common questions sales leaders ask every day:
And if your question doesn't match any intent? AI takes over. Freeform natural language is analyzed against your live pipeline data and returns intelligent, contextual answers.
Why This Matters
Sales Reps Don't Live in Salesforce
Let's be honest — your reps spend their day in Slack, email, and Zoom. Asking them to context-switch into Salesforce for a quick pipeline check creates friction that kills adoption. /asktheforce meets them where they already are.
Managers Need Answers in Seconds
When a VP asks "how's pipeline looking?" in a Slack channel, the answer shouldn't take 10 minutes of report-building. Type /asktheforce how's pipeline looking? and paste the response. Done.
Zero Data Extraction
Unlike every other "Slack integration" in the market, your data never leaves Salesforce. The Slack bot calls a native Apex REST endpoint directly — no middleware, no ETL, no external servers storing your CRM data. Your security team will love this.
🔐 Architecture: 100% Native
Slack Bot → Apex REST Endpoint → Live SOQL → AI Analysis → Slack Block Kit Response. The entire round trip happens inside your Salesforce org. No data leaves the platform. Ever.
The Competitive Advantage
Here's what the market charges for pipeline visibility from Slack:
- Clari: $80-150/user/month — and you still have to open their app for real analysis
- Gong: $100-150/user/month — no pipeline features at all
- People.ai: $50-75/user/month — limited Slack integration
- StratoForce AI: $10/user/month — full pipeline + forecast + coaching + conversational AI agent, all accessible from Slack
That's not a typo. We're 10x cheaper with more features because we don't need external infrastructure. Native Salesforce means your existing platform handles the compute, storage, and security.
