Why alert on large deals?

When a $50K+ opportunity enters the pipeline, leadership needs to know immediately. Large deals shape forecast accuracy, trigger executive involvement, and often require custom pricing or accelerated legal review. Getting visibility early means your team can rally resources, celebrate wins-in-progress, and keep competitive pressure from catching you off guard.

What you'll need

Prerequisites
  • Salesforce org with API access (Enterprise, Unlimited, or Developer edition)
  • Slack workspace with a dedicated deals or leadership channel
  • An agreed threshold for "large deal" (e.g., $50,000)
