Clari's owner puts Salesloft data inside ChatGPT, and prices it as an add-on

Current state
This feed is Salesloft's combined monthly release notes post-merger, so Clari updates arrive bundled with Salesloft, Groove, and Copilot changes. The August notes are dominated by CRM plumbing, including automatic Salesforce account linking, self-service custom object controls, and a required migration to a new External Client Application before 2 September, plus the first ChatGPT-facing MCP connector. Clari's own recent additions are narrower: Copilot call scoring in June and an in-app support chatbot in July.
Where it's heading
The agentic layer is where the investment goes, and it is sold as a tier rather than included, with the ChatGPT MCP connector requiring both the Agentic add-on and an enterprise ChatGPT subscription. At the same time the Claude MCP server lost its transcript tool to a protocol limitation, so the surface is being shaped by what each host can carry. Underneath, considerable engineering is going into CRM fidelity across merges, deletions, and custom objects, which is the unglamorous prerequisite for agents that read revenue data.
Prediction
The MCP surface looks set to expand by host rather than by capability, and the External Client Application migration will dominate admin communication through the 2 September deadline.

    Salesloft MCP lands in ChatGPT; Salesforce app migration required

    ⚡ SPARK

    The month the agentic surface reaches ChatGPT, arriving alongside the largest admin task in this window, a required move to the Salesforce External Client Application before 2 September. It fits the platform's pattern of pairing agent reach with CRM plumbing.

    Ada support chatbot arrives in Clari

    Clari gains in-app contextual help through the Ada chatbot, plus cosmetic navigation changes to icons and search. Support-surface work rather than revenue-workflow capability, and modest against the agentic push elsewhere in the platform.

    Copilot scores recorded calls against scorecards

    Copilot moves from summarizing calls to scoring them against scorecard templates, highlighting the relevant moments and generating strengths and weaknesses. Managers review and approve before reps see anything, so the extension of conversation intelligence stays human-gated.

    Clari and Salesloft ship their first joint workflow

    The post-merger integration lands: a Salesloft side panel inside Clari, one-click AI emails, and task creation driven by pipeline insights. It established the combined release notes this feed now carries.

    Faster deal search and any-step Groove automation

    Search gets faster and surfaces deal stage and account owner inline, while Groove gains automated actions on any flow step. Incremental workflow work from before the agentic push took over the roadmap.

    Groove flow transfers by custom lookup field

    Narrow Groove administration changes, reassigning flow participants by Salesforce user lookup field and making people exports respect step filters. Housekeeping for existing automation.
