<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Show Highlights:</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Daniel’s history with computers.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Why he decided to get a business degree and how it has benefited him.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How he describes his current job.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Why the designer role is so important.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The benefits of Block Kit.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How Slack can be used for more than communication.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How the Slack and Salesforce integration can bring back some of the magic for developers.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Daniel’s developer story with Slack.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Slack integrations he has worked on and their use cases.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Event str
