CRM may seem like all business to some, but the enterprise is getting social and business in the front can be a party in the back too. Twilio is teaming up with salesforce.com for a contest all about CRM, just in time for the upcoming Cloudstock conference in San Francisco. This contest is open to all developers and if you are headed to Cloudstock, join us for the event and the additional developers challenge there. You’ll get a chance to win even more prizes during Cloudstock in addition to the great prizes we have here.
The Challenge: Build with Salesforce
Get started building a Twilio and Salesforce integration, and create a CRM tool for the social enterprise. We have a few resources to help you get started:
