allow for interactive interactions with Slack

Being able to ask students how things are going (e.g., are you on track for your deliverables; did you meet with the URG office for your URG draft; etc.) could provide another data point for scripts that the existing tools do not capture.

One way to do this is to use Slack Actions. The responses would need to be tracked in the orchestration system probably.

An example use case of this from Jason/Hang would be to check if deliverables are sent to a thread on slack, like we do in BBQ SIG
