# Slack Work Objects

> Interactive CRM elements that live inside Slack

# Slack Work Objects

Work Objects are interactive Slack messages that represent CRM data — deals, next steps, people, and companies. They let your team view and act on Operate data without switching to the browser.

## How they work

When Operate posts an update to Slack, it arrives as a Work Object — a rich, interactive message with action buttons. Instead of just a notification, you get a mini view of the CRM record.

## Types of Work Objects

### Deal cards

A snapshot of a deal including stage, value, owner, and recent activity. Actions:

* View full deal in Operate
* Change stage
* Add a next step

### Next Step cards

A pending action item with due date, owner, and linked deal. Actions:

* Mark as complete
* Snooze to a later date
* Reassign to a teammate

### Person cards

A contact summary with title, company, and recent interactions. Actions:

* View full profile
* Create a next step
* Log a note

## Where they appear

Work Objects appear in:

* **Deal channels** — as part of automated updates
* **Daily/weekly digests** — as actionable items in your digest messages
* **Direct messages** — for personal reminders and assignments
