Slack Training Resources – Get Ahead of the Curve

Since the Salesforce Slack acquisition closed, we’ve seen a constant stream of news surrounding the future of the platform. Most recently, Salesforce announced the first integrations that could be the start of many game changing features for Salesforce & Slack users.

But how will these solutions be implemented in the future? Will the role of the Salesforce Admin cross over to the Slack platform as well? My guess would be yes. And if this is true, it might be time to start getting skilled up on all things Slack.

Slack Training

Over the past few months, Salesforce has released a number of modules and projects on Trailhead to help us understand the benefits of Slack, as well as the technical implementation.

There are also a bunch of Badges to get ahold of over at SlackCertified.com, which is the official Slack training site. This is also where you can get Slack Certified as an Admin or Developer.
