Pre-configured integrations

Open source, self-hosted integrations (private and public cloud)

A wide array of open source self-hosted integrations are available from the community applications directory.

Many of these use Mattermost incoming webhooks to deliver data into Mattermost from on-premises systems like Jira, Jenkins, GitLab, and other popular products.

Slack-compatible webhooks (private and public cloud)

Mattermost webhooks are “Slack-compatible, not Slack limited”. In applications supporting Slack webhooks you can replace the Slack webhook URL with a Mattermost webhook URL and the integration will work.

Over 700 app integrations using Zapier (public cloud only)

Custom integrations

Command line interface (private and public cloud)
