Set up Mattermost notifications using the discourse-chat-integration plugin

[Clint_Dovholuk]

@david here’s a video… mattermost discourse trama - YouTube Discourse told me i could send you a DM - and since it’s a video of my admin page i figured I’d try that… then it told me ‘access denied’ so here it is in public…

Thanks… I WAS able to sub categories using the slug using the slash command! I am sure I tried that… Or so I thought… but great, that worked…

I’d still like to have ALL the categories with one rule though. Would you give the video a watch and lemme know where i am failing?

Thanks

EDIT: I see now why my rules were ‘missing’ (in the video) it’s because it was unclear in the page i was on slack/mattermost setttings (which are at the top that page)

@david sorry for the bump but… well… not sorry? thanks

Sorry for the delay @Clint_Dovholuk, and thanks for posting the video!

In terms of the Slack/Mattermost confusion - if you disable the 'chat integration slack enabled` setting in the admin panel, then the Slack tab should disappear, leaving just “Mattermost”.

There is a UX issue here on our side. The option labelled ‘(no categories)’ is what you need. But clearly that is an awful label name, and we need to get that fixed up.

@david

When editing a ‘rule’, you should be able to use the category dropdown to choose ‘(no category)’
…
(‘no category’ in the dropdown is clearly a bad description of what it actually means. I’ll get that fixed up)

In terms of the slash commands, were you able to give this a try?:

@david

Using slash commands, I think you can watch all categories like this:

/discourse watch

(i.e. omitting a category name completely)

yep. i’d already done that and since i can only upload ONE image (which is lame) i’ve had to screen cap the rest of my response (see below - this used to be three images but i’m only allowed to post one)

Solved! Thanks so much

[Clint_Dovholuk]

proof my ONE rule works! yay!

@david

• In your Mattermost System Console, under Custom Integrations, check that these settings are enabled:
• Enable Incoming Webhooks
• Enable integrations to override usernames
• Enable integrations to override profile picture icons
• Enable Custom Slash Commands (if you want slash commands)
• Login to your team, click your name in the top left, then click Integrations

I think this document should be updated. A lot of this stuff is inaccurate… unless I’m using an older verion of mattermost but I do not think so…
