[00:00:00] Speaker 1: So you have a great idea for a Slack app but no workspace to build in, well, good news, the solution is free, it's called the Slack Developer Program. And once you join, you get access to developer sandboxes. And these are enterprise org environments that include some of the latest features from Slack. So this is a real workspace that you can seed with mock data and mock users, a place where you can try out your ideas for Workflow Builder or custom apps from the Slack CLI. Now each sandbox lasts for 180 days by default, but you get the opportunity to extend. So that gives you a safe place to test and prototype without having to touch your company's production environment. Now, we may or may not ask you for a credit card, but Slack will not charge you for Slack developer sandboxes. This is just to ensure that you're not a bot. If you want to get started, you can head over to this link, but of course I will leave it attached to this video.
