Can you have a non-Slack version? Just a page where you put your log in information and it asks the same thing the slack bot does? It would take like 15m to build this

We have customers using SMS and email as well. We’ll highlight those words on the site

Maybe we’ll add a web app chat sometime, too. But would SMS satisfy the use case you’re thinking about? Also, do you not use Slack or do you use it but not want to use it for travel? If latter, why?

FWIW, maintaining support for more platforms is easy when it’s just text, but Slack is very powerful / can have rich UIs (eg a book button or a form in a response).

SMS is great. Please convince my $MegaCorp to use this instead of the god-awful 90s attempt at flights.google.com they're using right now... god speed!

Yes, Slack is blocked in China and other parts of the world. And not everyone uses Slack.

Text/SMS would also be great here. I had a very positive experience booking onsite interview related travel via Pana, which seems to have a similar offering.
