Slack provides a collaboration platform for teams to communicate and work together more efficiently. It combines messaging, file sharing, and deep integrations with many third-party apps, enabling seamless workflows. Users interact through channels and direct messages, while developers can build custom integrations via APIs and add apps through the App Directory. No-code automation is supported with Workflow Builder. The product is delivered on a subscription basis with multiple pricing tiers and a free tier, and security features help protect organizational data. Slack differentiates itself through a large ecosystem of integrations, a user-friendly interface, and enterprise-grade security to support teams of all sizes. The goal is to help organizations improve internal communication and productivity by making it easy to coordinate work across tools and people.

↑ 0%ezCater, the leading US workplace food tech platform, has launched a Slack integration to streamline employee meal programmes. The integration embeds ezCater's Relish service directly into Slack, enabling workers to view menus, order meals and receive delivery updates without switching applications. The integration features automated reminders, one-click reordering, real-time delivery notifications and in-app meal ratings. According to ezCater's 2025 Lunch Report, workers skip lunch at least once weekly, though 88% acknowledge hunger impairs performance. AppFolio reported a 14% increase in lunch participation after implementing the integration. ezCater brings individually packaged meals from local restaurants to workplaces, with organisations setting subsidies and schedules whilst employees select their own meals. The integration is available today.
Slack has become increasingly central to Salesforce's platform since its $28 billion acquisition in July 2021, defying expectations that it would fade into obscurity. The collaboration tool is now positioned as the front end for Salesforce's AI ecosystem and the default collaboration interface for the platform. Slack's integration is exemplified by Agentforce, which enables users to build task-specific AI agents operating directly within Slack whilst accessing company data stored in Salesforce. A comprehensive update introduced Salesforce Channels, which connect directly with Salesforce records and are accessible from either platform without losing context. Whilst Slack has gained prominence within Salesforce's ecosystem, it still trails competitors like Cisco, Microsoft and Zoom in the broader team collaboration market. However, its role as a central interface to Salesforce makes it increasingly significant.
Keeper Security has launched a Slack integration extending privileged access management controls into the collaboration platform. The integration allows organisations to request and approve access to Keeper Vault resources, including shared folders, service accounts and credentials, directly within Slack whilst maintaining Keeper's zero-knowledge architecture. The system separates workflow from security enforcement: Slack handles requests and approvals, whilst Keeper maintains access policies and cryptographic controls. The Slack app and Keeper Commander containers are customer-hosted, ensuring full control over data encryption. Access is granted on a just-in-time basis with no standing privileges, and all events are centrally logged for audit purposes. The integration aims to eliminate insecure communication channels like email threads whilst preserving least-privilege access policies across cloud, hybrid and on-premises environments.

Amy Spurling wasn't planning to raise funding during a pandemic. On Thursday, Compt announced $1.5 million in seed funding from Harlem Capital Partners, Impellent Ventures, and the workplace chat app Slack. Part of the pitch that won over investors, Spurling said, was her experience on the buy side of so many HR benefits and perks vendors over the years. Any of Compt's 35 existing customers can allot budgets for each employee in a given benefits category — say, family wellness. "It won't be a typical recession," Spurling said of the changes coming to the global economy.
