Yes, Salesforce has a native integration with Slack. It is available directly within the Salesforce app marketplace.
Yes. This integration typically uses OAuth 2.0, meaning you grant permission via a secure login window. You do not need to share your raw password, and you can revoke access at any time from your Salesforce security settings.
This is typically a one-way sync: Salesforce → Slack. Changes in Slack do not sync back to Salesforce.
Usually, no. Most native integrations are "forward-looking," meaning they only sync data created or updated *after* you activate the connection. To move historical data, you will likely need to perform a one-time CSV export/import manually.
This is a known issue (~100% of users). Common cause: Polling Trigger Interval. Typical fix time: 30 minutes.
