Your employees are likely spending most of their time on your business communications platform, Microsoft Teams.
After all, it’s where they can message individual colleagues, manage their calendars, collaborate with several team members, get on calls, and so on.
You can empower your colleagues to get even more done on the business communications platform by integrating it with the other apps they use to perform their everyday work. This allows them to access and work in any app within Teams, which saves them time and allows them to work more efficiently.
So which apps should you focus on integrating with Microsoft Teams? The answer depends on the platforms your team is already using as well as how they’re being used. But if you’re like many organizations, you’ll likely want to integrate Teams with the following apps:
Connect Teams with Salesforce to Help Your Colleagues Manage Prospect and Customer Information
Your sales reps and customer success managers likely manage a high volume of accounts in Salesforce.
Keeping tabs on each account manually can be inconvenient, overwhelming, and unfeasible; while logging into Salesforce every time you need to update an account can be just as impractical.
By connecting Salesforce with Teams, you can strip out most of this manual work. For example, once integrated, your reps can get notified via Teams whenever new leads come in or when updates get made to any. And your reps or customer success managers can update accounts from Teams, whether it’s creating records, approving them, or uploading files.

From there, you can design workflows that allow any employee to post comments, update their profile, add a status, and more—all from Teams.
