Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related-Party Transactions	Related-Party Transactions In January 1999, the Salesforce Foundation (the “Foundation”) was chartered on an idea of leveraging the Company’s people, technology and resources to help improve communities around the world. The Company calls this integrated philanthropic approach the 1-1-1 model. The Company’s Chair is the chair of the Foundation and holds one of the three Foundation board seats. The Company does not control the Foundation’s activities, and accordingly, the Company does not consolidate the Foundation’s statement of activities with its financial results. Since the Foundation’s inception, the Company has provided at no charge certain resources to the Foundation including general administrative support. The value of these resources to the Foundation has not been material. As a result of the fiscal 2020 business combination with Salesforce.org, which was a related party, the Company agreed to use its best efforts to make charitable cash commitments of up to $5 million quarterly to the Foundation for ten years beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2020.
