Notify Slack when dashboard activity lands #1455

Description

@sentry-junior

When a Slack-rooted conversation continues in the dashboard, Slack gets no signal until someone posts in the thread again.

Current behavior

  • Dashboard turns stay conversation-log only (publishExternally: false).
  • Later Slack turns can use dashboard history as context and link to the full transcript.
  • There is no proactive Slack notice when dashboard-only activity lands.

Gap

  • Thread participants who stay in Slack can miss that the conversation moved forward in the UI.
  • Full message cross-post is intentionally out of scope (see Start and continue conversations in the dashboard #1200).
  • A short notice with a dashboard link would close the gap without impersonating the author or copying message bodies.

Proposal from product discussion

  • Post a short Slack notice such as “something was said in the web UI — check the full transcript.”
  • Include a link to the dashboard conversation.
  • Do not auto-copy dashboard message bodies or impersonate the author.

Related: #1200 (return-to-Slack path only covers the next Slack turn).

Requested by Pierre Massat.
