Action

Stack traces can be difficult to relocate after a debugging conversation moves on.
- Keeps shared diagnostic details available in Honeybadger.
- Avoids manually transferring stack traces between tools.

- 3Select Channel Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports and test with one real message containing a stack trace.
