When errors happen, your AI coding assistant can only help if it has the context it needs. To give you a hand, Honeybadger now includes full backtraces in Slack error notifications.

The backtrace appears as formatted code in Slack, making it easy to copy/paste or forward to your favorite AI debugging assistant like Cursor, Windsurf, or Copilot. Or, if you use Cursor's [Background Agents](https://docs.cursor.com/background-agent), you can install their [Slack integration](https://docs.cursor.com/slack) to ask Cursor to fix the error without leaving Slack!

![Screenshot of a Honeybadger error notification in Slack at 12:24 showing a NoMethodError for an undefined 'charge' method in the Monolith project's production environment. The error occurred on line 103 of the order.rb file in the charge_payment method. Below the error details is a chat interface where someone is asking '@Cursor fix this error' with an option to 'Also send to # alerts', demonstrating how developers can quickly escalate Honeybadger errors for AI-assisted debugging and team notification.](https://www-files.honeybadger.io/changelog/slack-error-backtraces/honeybadger-slack-cursor-fix-error.png)

If you already have a Slack integration in Honeybadger, this feature is enabled automatically. Check out our [Slack integration docs](https://docs.honeybadger.io/guides/integrations/slack/) for more info, and our [Working with LLMs guide](https://docs.honeybadger.io/resources/llms/) for best practices and to super charge your AI-development workflow with [Honeybadger's Model Context Protocol (MCP) server](https://github.com/honeybadger-io/honeybadger-mcp-server).
