Additionally, users can flag deals or check shipping statuses via Slackbot without leaving their Salesforce interface. These CRM-specific features are available for Business+ and Enterprise+ plans.

Admins can now query usage data directly through Slackbot using the new Member Analytics feature. Mobile users benefit from the ability to render HTML files as interactive pages on iOS and Android devices. Access to these features may vary depending on the workspace's licensing plan, so small business owners should review their current subscriptions.
