Send Slack stack traces to Honeybadger

When a channel post contains a stack trace for an error, send the diagnostic details to Honeybadger.

Trigger

Channel Message Received

Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.

Action

Report Exception

Tool to report an exception notice to Honeybadger. Use when sending error details (stack trace, context) for diagnostics.

Why this helps

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.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Honeybadger to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation with one prompt telling Notis to send a Honeybadger exception notice for channel posts that contain an error stack trace.
  • 3Select Channel Message Received as the trigger.
  • 4Choose a channel for run reports and test with one real message containing a stack trace.

Questions about this workflow

Does this capture general code snippets?

The prompt should restrict action to stack traces tied to an error.

Should the message include the full trace?

Include the diagnostic details the team wants available to Honeybadger.
