slack projects 4b revenue w/in a few years so yeah, maybe SF is drinking the same kool aid?
even in the cross-sell case, 'slack doubles the value of salesforce' is a stretch
I suppose slack has way more customers so if even a few of them convert, salesforce grows tremendously? but the downside is this pushes SF into the freemium market.
'we're buying slack to help us grow our free tier' isn't ultra compelling.

- awinter-py 6y agoif the future of salesforce is workflows, slack provides a lot of data for workflows (assuming they're allowed to use it). if salesforce has a substantially more developed marketplace for plugins, SF can help slack get there too; not sure how rev-share works for slack plugins today.
