Can you add an approval or action button directly to a notification?

Hello - I am new to Actions and Alerts.  I would like to set up a workflow to allow our team to submit travel requests for their managers for approval.  I have my form and sheet set up fine, and the workflow seems to be working correctly and notifying the indicated approver via e-mail.  However, it looks like the approver needs to click through the e-mail to open the approval form, then act (approve or decline).  I'd prefer to allow our approvers to address these requests in one 'click' rather than two; is there any way to set up the e-mail notification such that the action buttons are embedded in the message?  If not via e-mail, is that something that could be done with Slack?
