Partner sandboxes

A partner sandbox is a special type of developer sandbox that allows our trusted partners to explore Slack features. Partner sandboxes are fully featured Enterprise Grid non-production environments that allow partners to accelerate proof of concepts, develop and test apps, deliver client demos, and build Enterprise-grade solutions faster.

Partner sandbox features​

Partner sandboxes are built with partner needs in mind, enabling Enterprise organizations to innovate safely.

Relaxed developer sandbox limits​

Each partner sandbox:

  • supports up to 30 users and 10 workspaces
  • allows up to 8 active sandboxes per partner developer
  • has no message, file, or automation limits
  • is granted early access to beta features as they become available

  • number of channels in each workspace (up to 5)
  • number of users in the sandbox (up to 10)

FAQs​

Who can provision a partner sandbox?​

If you’re a Salesforce Partner Program member, you can request enrollment in the Slack Partner Developer Program after joining the Slack Developer Program. This will allow you to provision a Slack Partner Sandbox environment. Join the Slack Developer Program here.

What is a sandbox template?​

A sandbox template is a reusable, configurable, and optionally enforceable blueprint that allows you to set up a sandbox faster and is better aligned with partner and Enterprise needs.

Templates are authored by partners themselves. Once created, partners can select a template to load test data into a sandbox during provisioning.
