137: Salesforce & Slack with Daniel Peter

Daniel Peter is the Salesforce Practice Lead over at Robots & Pencils. Having had some incredible experiences throughout his life (including starting as a self-taught programmer, studying marketing in college, and taking some time mid-career to go on “sabbatical” and travel), Daniel brings a unique perspective to our show. In today’s conversation, Daniel and I talk all about his time in the Salesforce ecosystem and what his current job looks like. We also get into the weeds a bit with the Slack and Salesforce integration. Tune in to hear all of this and more. Show Highlights: Daniel’s history with computers. Why he decided to get a business degree and how it has benefited him. How he describes his current job. Why the designer role is so important. The benefits of Block Kit. How Slack can be used for more than communication. How the Slack and Salesforce integration can bring back some of the magic for developers. Daniel’s developer story with Slack. Slack integrations he has worked on and their use cases. Event structure in Slack.
