Salesforce’s New Slack API Terms
Salesforce (NYSE:?CRM) recently updated its Slack terms of service to restrict how third?party apps store and search Slack messages, according to The Information. A Salesforce spokesperson pointed to a May?29 statement emphasizing:

Enhanced data safeguards for information accessed via Slack APIs.

Commitments to thoughtful and transparent AI and data services.

New limits preventing apps like Glean from long?term indexing or copying of Slack data.

These changes reflect growing enterprise caution as organizations grapple with customer data privacy in AI deployments.
What This Means for Third?Party Apps

No permanent storage: Apps can still read messages in real time, but cannot save them in external databases.

Search limitations: Without persistent indexing, features like company?wide knowledge graphs become less effective.

Compliance focus: Businesses must review workflows to ensure they respect the updated Slack API restrictions.
