Salesforce Announces End of Life for Quip
Summary
Salesforce is retiring all Quip products with subscriptions ending March 1, 2027, shifting key use cases to Slack and Agentforce Sales. Quip has been part of Salesforce since 2016 but no longer fits the vision of a unified work platform. Salesforce plans tool-assisted migration from Quip documents to Slack Canvas and enhanced integrations to support workflows previously handled by Quip. Users should prepare for phases of read-only access, blocked logins, and eventual data deletion after subscriptions expire. The transition reflects Salesforce’s strategic pivot towards Slack and Agentforce as central collaboration platforms.
Takeaways

- Use Salesforce’s content migration tools to convert Quip documents to Slack Canvas.
- Leverage enhanced Slack-Salesforce integrations for workflows like account planning.
- Be aware of read-only, blocked login, and data deletion phases during transition.
- Coordinate with account teams for support and updates during Quip retirement.
Salesforce has announced that all Quip products are being retired, and any subscriptions cannot be renewed after March 1, 2027. This comes after Salesforce made the decision to transfer the most common Quip use cases to Slack, Agentforce Sales, and the rest of the product portfolio. Quip Entering Retirement Quip , a social document suite, has been part of Salesforce’s product suite since 2016, acting as a tool to integrate structured and unstructured data within Quip documentation and the wider CRM. Bret Taylor, Salesforce’s former Co-CEO , also joined the company through Salesforce’s acquisition of Quip, after he initially created it as a competitor to Google Docs. It has been part of the portfolio since then. However, the way people work has changed, demanding a shift towards working in a single operating system rather than siloed, separate systems.
