7 Best Slack Integrations for Customer Service Teams

1. HubSpot

HubSpot is one of the most used all-rounder applications in the field, covering your needs for marketing, sales, and service solutions. The cloud-based CRM helps organizations to boost their ROIs and bring out the most of their marketing strategy. 

Through the Slack integration, you can do the following tasks without leaving your Slack workspace:

• Create and assign tasks; 
• Search for CRM contacts through the "/hubspot-search-contact" command;
• Receive CRM notifications.

HubSpot also has capabilities to handle customer requests. However, HubSpot’s Slack integration is limited, lacking functional capabilities that could bring significant value to your customers and your service agents, such as one-click ticket creation, kanban boards, and gathering Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT) scores. Thena's HubSpot Integration allows you to connect both applications and create seamless communication.

2. Salesforce

Salesforce is a popular customer relationship management software that helps companies to connect the sales and customer service teams to create a smooth experience, keeping track of customer interactions. 

Salesforce’s Slack app enables users to access a wide range of functionalities:

• Access and share CRM information;
• Share messages in real-time;
• Get Salesforce alerts on Slack channels; 
• Search the Salesforce platform through the /salesforce [search term] command.

When integrated into Slack, Salesforce's ticketing solutions still have some limitations, forcing agents to switch between platforms and increasing resolution time. However, with the Thena’s Salesforce integration, you can maximize the efficiency of your processes and create the most value without ever having to leave your customer's preferred communication platform.

3. Dropbox

Dropbox's Cloud storage service creates a seamless platform for your agents to save and sync files across different devices. Forget about attachment size alerts and compressing files to fit the limit. 

Through the Dropbox integration, you will be able to:

• Import and share files from Dropbox to Slack;
• Search for files and re-share with groups or individual team members;
• Receive updates when files are updated;
• Save shared files directly to the DropBox folder.

4. Thena 

Thena is the ultimate customer engagement management platform, directly plugging into your Slack channels and auto-detecting customer requests through conversations and messages. No need to read through endlessly shared channel histories; Thena picks up on potential problems before they have a chance to escalate and enables teams to assign and manage tasks with ease. 

Through Thena’s Slack app, you can easily do the following tasks without having to switch between different software:

• Automatically detect customer requests and issues;
• Create, assign, and mark tickets as closed; 
• Integrate into third-party software such as Intercom, Zendesk, Freshdesk, or HubSpot;
• Check engagement metrics.

5. Statsbot

Statsbot is a user-friendly platform providing in-depth data analytics through Slack. The application can link your database or Google Analytics platform to Slack to track metrics and build funnels. It can also help organizations to schedule and check metrics regularly as well as keep a tab on their performance.

With the help of Statsbot, users can do a range of tasks within Slack’s workspace:

• Receive activity notifications; 
• Ask for business data analytics such as revenue, campaign performance, and other metrics;
• Share metrics with a click of a button;
• Schedule and stop campaigns and metric reports. 

6. Tettra

Tettra enables companies to manage their shared knowledge base, making it easier for teams to create a common data platform, streamline onboarding and avoid information loss or confusion. The central hub is crowd-sourced and easily accessible, providing an ideal repository for the whole team. 

Through the Slack integration, you can do the following tasks without leaving your Slack workspace:

• View changes made to knowledge articles; 
• Search for answers in Slack channels; 
• Find and share dedicated Tettra pages; 
• View and analyze content analytics; 
• Receive automated content suggestions.

7. Mailchimp

Mailchimp is a go-to platform for creating, managing, and scheduling outbound emails and social media campaigns. The marketing all-rounder helps companies to set up landing pages and create social media paid campaigns to amplify their sales activities.
