Beta testers for a flight tracking chatbot

Hey everyone,

In some recent trips I've recently been fed up with having to install each airline's app to track my flight as it progresses from checkin time to gate assignment to carousel assignment. I wanted to build a dead simple Facebook Messenger bot where you tell it your flight number and it does the rest. I imagine it might be useful for the travelers here.

If you're interested you can sign up at https://goo.gl/forms/GUqBAIusVB2sZhBL2, I'd love to get your feedback.

Interesting application!

I'm wondering where you are getting your data from? Mainly, does this also work in regions with little to no coverage of airplane feeders like FlightAware?

Would you also set up a twitter bot? I mean, for people who do not use FB but use Twitter 😉

Really cool. Do I have to share my facebook ID in order to try it?
