We currently use Slack as a medium for some of our users to chat. It has channels that facilitate discussion.

I’m looking at whether it would be possible to embed a similar chat by channel experience into a glide app. e.g. could use a SAAS via the webview component.

Has anyone attempted this/ looked into it? any success?

Just did a quick test…

That’s a shame… sounds like a fun project though.  
Slack has an API, so I imagine it would be possible to integrate in the back end using Apps Script, and then build out the UI in Glide.
