Filters let you target specific deal stages or values.

- Arahi AI includes 100 free actions per month on the Starter plan — enough for most small teams. If your Microsoft Teams-to-Salesforce workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
- Is my Microsoft Teams data secure when connected to Salesforce?
- Yes. Arahi uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Microsoft Teams or Salesforce passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your communication data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your Arahi dashboard.
- Can I sync data both ways between Microsoft Teams and Salesforce?
- Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Microsoft Teams or Salesforce. For example, create a workflow where Microsoft Teams events update Salesforce, and a separate one where Salesforce changes sync back to Microsoft Teams. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
- Do I need technical skills to connect Microsoft Teams and Salesforce?
- No coding is required. Arahi's visual workflow builder lets you configure triggers, actions, and field mapping with clicks. If you can use Microsoft Teams and Salesforce, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
