Research direction

Start with the Slack message-buttons documentation linked in the issue and inspect the client’s existing Faraday request handling; no file or test is named. Done means the client can post updated message content to the action payload’s response_url without the reported 500 error, with coverage for the new request behavior.

Description

question

When creating messages with interactive buttons, one of the ways to update the message after someone hits a button is to use make a request to the response_url, which is included in the action payload. It would be very convenient if this client could make those requests.

I did some initial poking around: I tried using the response_url as the endpoint, and then put the updated message content in the body, but I got Faraday::ClientError: the server responded with status 500, so I think I don't understand Faraday.
