Slack-created "Background Agent not found" error

Describe the Bug

Hi! We are loving the Background Agents Slack integration so far! We’ve ran into trouble though were a recent Background Agent cannot be opened via the Slack “Open in Cursor” button. When the Background Agent goes to open via the Cursor redirect link, we get the “Background Agent not found” dialog.

Steps to Reproduce

Tag @Cursor in Slack, have it complete a job successfully to the point where it responds with a follow up message containing a “View PR”, “Open in Cursor”, and “…” button. Click “Open in Cursor”, allow the redirect to the local Cursor application, and see that it wil not open.

Additional Information

I am indeed signed into my business account from which the Slack integration is configured.

Signing out and then signing back in did not solve the problem.

Does this stop you from using Cursor
