In today’s fast-paced sales and marketing environment, speed-to-lead and internal efficiency are everything. But if your team is constantly toggling between Marketo, your CRM, and their inbox, critical workflows slow down. By integrating custom Slack functionality with Marketo, you can streamline critical workflows like routing leads, approving emails, and merging duplicates—effectively meeting your team where they already are.

In this session, we will break down the technical framework required to transform Slack into an actionable extension of your Marketo instance. We will explore the end-to-end process of building a branded experience that simplifies complex tasks into a few simple clicks.

Key takeaways include:

• Building with Blocks: How to use Slack’s drag-and-drop builder to create custom, interactive message layouts.

• App Development: The steps to create a branded Slack app to handle automated messaging.

• The Technical Bridge: Setting up and testing a Python server to manage Slack interactions and responses.
