I'm the creator of a Slack bot (Pull Reminders). I ended up building a web UI to configure the bot rather than using slash commands. The main reason for this was that Slack's platform is still evolving and I thought it'd be difficult to build an intuitive experience/interface within Slack. I've seen other Slack apps do a pretty good job at this though. Check out Eventbot or GitHub's official Slack app.
It's been fun figuring out how to tackle UX problems like onboarding and engagement with Slack as the primary channel (versus email). I think chat is replacing email for many teams and so there's a big opportunity to rethink traditional workflows with a "chat first" user experience.
