132: Slack, Salesforce & Community with Meighan Brodkey

Salesforce Developer Podcast

Meighan Brodkey is a Director of Technical Architecture at Vorys. With a background in language and religious studies, she had a fairly smooth transition over to coding. She saw it as the technical version of translating numbers and letters.

Today, she not only works in technical architecture but is also heavily involved in the Salesforce community. She works a lot with other women in tech and within the Ohana Slack workspace. She is joining us on the show today to talk about all of these things, Slack integrations, and what she does in her current role.

Show Highlights:

• Meighan’s college journey and first coding experiences.
• How she got involved with Salesforce and became an architect.
• Her passion for connecting people.
• The various communities she is involved with.
• What got her into Slack and the work she’s done with Slack integrations.
• The basic structure of Slack apps.
• What the block kit builder is.
• A quick overview of GDPR.
