Introduction
Slate is a customer relationship management and workflow platform. It provides pipelines for sales, support, hiring, and any multi step process you need to manage.
Core Capabilities
- Build custom pipelines with stages, statuses, and custom fields on a Kanban board

- Handle conversations via email directly inside your pipeline with a shared inbox
- Automate workflows with multi step automations including emails, stage changes, webhooks, conditions, and delays
- Create proposals and invoices with PDF generation and e-signatures
- Track tasks with list and calendar views
- Analyze performance with reports and analytics dashboards
- Integrate with external tools via API, webhooks, CSV import, and embeddable web forms
How Slate is organized
Organization
└── Company
├── Pipelines (Sales, Support, Hiring)
│ └── Stages (Open, Proposal, Won, Lost)
│ │ ├── Statuses (optional substeps: Draft, Created, Sent)
│ └───┴── Items (deals, tickets, candidates)
│
├── Contacts (people and companies)
├── Tasks (followups, calls, meetings)
└── Settings (teams, integrations, billing)
Each company is a self contained workspace with its own pipelines, contacts, and settings. An organization can contain multiple companies.
When you create a company, you select a region that determines where your data is stored. Once set, your region cannot be modified.
Authentication
Slate uses passwordless authentication exclusively.
| Email passcodes | A one time code sent to your email |
| Passkeys / WebAuthn | Biometric or hardware key authentication |
Plans
| Individual | 1 user, core pipeline features |
| Pro | Teams, automations, reports, e-signatures, duplicate detection |
| Business | Analytics, advanced scoring, unlimited automations |
| Enterprise | Custom limits, priority support |
All plans start with a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
After the trial expires, access to pipeline data is suspended until you select a plan. Companies that remain unsubscribed for 30 days after trial expiry are permanently deleted.
Referral program
Existing users can generate a referral code and share it. When a new user applies the code during their trial:
| Referee | Extended 60 day trial instead of 14 days |
| Referrer | Subscription credit equal to the referee's per user monthly plan price, up to 10 referrals per year |
