For integration between various independent real-time chats, you’ll want to use [Matterbridge](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge). Despite the name, this is independent from Mattermost. You’ll also need to add the Matterbabble plugin (Discourse 3rd party integration) and Babble Plugin (real-time chat for categories within Discourse) to integrate these real-time conversations directly to your Discourse forum.

- [Matterbridge](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge) - Connecting any number of chat services together via bots.
- [Matterbabble](https://github.com/DeclanHoare/matterbabble) - Discourse post support for Matterbridge via plugin.
- [Babble](https://meta.discourse.org/t/babble-a-chat-plugin/87297) - Discourse plugin for adding real-time chat, usually in a sidebar, to your Discourse forum in defined channels via `whatever` chat service.
