Salesloft is the sales-engagement platform many mid-market and enterprise sales teams use for sequenced outbound and rep coaching. Connecting Salesloft to clariBI surfaces every account, person, opportunity, conversation, and team metric inside your AI analyses.
Why connect Salesloft
Sales-rep performance questions ("which reps had the highest reply rate on outbound this week?") usually require Salesloft's reporting tab.
With Salesloft connected, you can ask "Compare account engagement scores by tier", "List opportunities created from outbound sequences last quarter", or "Show me the top-performing cadence by reply rate" and the AI engine pulls the answer.
How the connection works
clariBI talks to Salesloft through its hosted MCP server at https://mcp.salesloft.com/mcp. Authentication uses an OAuth flow that clariBI registers itself for (no developer console setup on your side). Tokens stay encrypted server-side and never leave clariBI in clear form.

Available tools
clariBI exposes the read-only Salesloft tools that the vendor's MCP server publishes at connection time. Write operations (create, update, delete, send, refund) are filtered out by a name-pattern blocklist before any tool reaches the analysis engine, so connecting Salesloft cannot modify data on the vendor side.
The exact tool inventory depends on the Salesloft features your account has access to. After connecting, try a few natural-language questions to see what Salesloft data clariBI can pull.
Data flow during analysis
When you ask a question that maps to Salesloft, the AI engine routes to the right tool, reads the result, and pairs the answer with a chart you can pin to a dashboard.

Permissions and data access
OAuth scoping is granted at authorize time on the Salesloft consent screen. clariBI requests only *:read scopes (accounts, people, opportunities, conversations, team) — no mutating operations are possible. Disconnect from Salesloft settings or from clariBI Settings.
Troubleshooting
| Error | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| "Authorization expired" | Salesloft OAuth tokens rotate and the refresh failed silently. | Reconnect Salesloft from Settings → Integrations. |
