Because you said: "The sole purpose for looking at Slack for this customer is to send appointment reminder vis SMS using Skyetel's "Postcards for Slack" feature."
I just assumed those were the requirements and if there were other requirements that were relevant, you would have mentioned them.
Appointment reminders are very common, almost SOP in some businesses.I appreciate your trying to help, but as I said in my query, my desire is to use Skyetel's "Postcards for Slack".

So who needs Slack today?
They have NOTHING now. And since the SIP provider has an interface already built for it, why not use it?

Well, that feels like a gap. How do they have nothing as every business class messaging platform includes something? Do they not have business email?

Exchange.
Legacy Exchange, not MS365? If so, Teams isn't pre-provisioned automatically, but it is installed automatically on Windows. So, while not the one that I like, one of the key Slack competitors should be pre-installed for you and they "have it", you just have to configure it to integrate with Exchange that way. MS365 Exchange always has Teams pre-integrated.

Ouch. I've been shafted by Intermedia a time or two.

Think XMPP for the modern era
Are there any intra-office apps for this? We have been using Spark on top of Ignite for many years.
Is there anything you like btter?

For Microsoft users Microsoft Teams is the goto intra-office messaging platform.
As Scott mentioned earlier all the business messaging apps are on parity with each other.

That's what we replaced with these tools specifically. Slack, Rocket, Mattermost... those seem to be the best for crossing company boundaries. Cliq, Teams, etc. are great for inside a single controlled company, but don't fare well at going between them. Especially not Teams, what a mess that is.
