SalesOps | Salesforce Closed Won Opportunity -> Slack Notification

Overview

This template takes Salesforce opportunities that are marked "Closed Won", and shares a message on a Slack channel with the opportunity details. It can even send an image or emoji alongside to create emphasis.

The Salesforce trigger is fired every time an opportunity is updated.

If the change that fired the trigger was updating the stage name to "Closed won", then that change will alert the relevant Slack channel with said update.
