For larger deployments you can setup a separate server for integrations, or add them to the server on which the external application is hosted - for example, if you’re self-hosting a Jira server you could deploy a Jira integration on the Jira server itself.
Mattermost hosting install#
Where should I install my integrations?įor self-hosted deployments in small setups you might host integrations on the same server on which Mattermost is installed. Visit our app directory for dozens of open source integrations to common tools like Jira, Jenkins, GitLab, Trac, Redmine, and Bitbucket, along with interactive bot applications (Hubot, mattermost-bot), and other communication tools (Email, IRC, XMPP, Threema) that are freely available for use and customization. We currently don’t support the ability to attach files to a post made by an integration. These “attachments” can be optionally added as an array in the data sent by an integration, and are used to customize the formatting of the message. When “attachments” are mentioned in the integrations documentation, it refers to Slack’s Message Attachments. If there’s no translation layer, Mattermost won’t understand the data you’re sending. Since there’s currently no general standard for webhook formatting, this is unavoidable and just a part of how webhooks work. If you have an integration that outputs a payload in a different format you need to write an intermediate application to act as a translation layer to change it to the format Mattermost uses. What if I have a webhook from somewhere other than Slack? If you have a Slack integration, you should be able to set it up in Mattermost without changing the format. Slack compatible means that Mattermost accepts integrations that have a payload in the same format as Slack. This means if you type in a slash command it will not be posted to a channel, whereas an outgoing webhook is only triggered by posted messages. What is a slash command?Ī slash command is similar to an outgoing webhook, but instead of listening to a channel it is used as a command tool. They’re great for listening in on channels, and then notifying external applications when a trigger word is used. Then the outgoing webhook can post a response back in Mattermost. Outgoing webhooks take data from Mattermost, and send it to an external application.
They’re great for setting up notifications when something happens in an external application. In Mattermost, incoming webhooks receive data from external applications and make a post in a specified channel. What’s the difference between incoming and outgoing webhooks?Ī webhook is a way for one app to send real-time data to another app.
