I too am looking forward to migrating my Slack account to Salesforce CloudTeams™® Beta account

Salesforce already has its Chatter service. It UX is one of the weak parts of Salesforce, but the integration with the rest of SF is really not bad. I could totally see Slack simply replacing Chatter, using those integrations, and improving Salesforce. It also opens up the entire Slack ecosystem for upsell into SF products.

In other words, yes, I totally agree and think you are 100% correct.

I think you’re joking, but let’s be honest, that’s exactly what’s going to happen.

and that is exactly when slack will die and something else will come in to take its place. an endless cycle

I saw Salesforce buy/eat Demandware. It's called Salesforce Commerce Cloud now. I bet something similar will happen to Slack.

I saw it too, and IMO the ecosystem is better than ever now. It took a few years of stagnation for SF to really dig their hooks in, but everything is nice and integrated now.

Slackforce

Will be rebranded to Messaging cloud in the Dreamforce after that
