Synchronizing Data
At last, we’ve arrived at the final part of our series on using Salesforce’s Slack Starter Kit to quickly scaffold a deployable Slack App that interacts with Salesforce data. The Slack Starter Kit makes it tremendously easy to authenticate with Salesforce, organize your code into reusable chunks, and deploy the project to Heroku for live access. We’ve largely based this series on these video tutorials showcasing how to build Slack Apps.
In our first post, we got acquainted with the Slack Starter Kit and set up our development environment. In our second post, our Slack app issued a query to fetch data from a Salesforce org and then presented the result with UI components from Block Kit. Now, we’re going to extend that pattern to showcase how you can edit Salesforce data entirely within Slack. Let’s get started!
