Unread posts in the API
I want to use the API to check if I have unread posts, but it doesn't seem the API contains such a counter. It contains a
msg_countand amention_cout, but not the counter I want.
There is still a possible hack:
For each channel in a team:
* Get the timestamp of the last visit
* Get the posts created after that timestamp
* Count them
Besides the fact that it's insanely complex compared to a simple yet handy counter in the API, it involves that we have to fetch the content of all the unread posts, which…23 votes -
Daily / weekly email digests
I know it sounds like the “email batching” feature added in Mattermost 3.4 https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/12903204-allow-email-batching-limiting
… but for non-professionnal environnement, a daily, weekly, or even 15 days or monthly “digests” of notifications and/or channels activities would be very useful. Even with one hour batches, members deactivates their notifications when they can't work everyday for the team.
“Slow projects” don't need immediate responses, and a moderate usage of notifications would be appreciated.
In some circonstances, a good (slow) timing of reminder could even drive members' involvement (e.g. for those who takes a few hours per week for a project).
This could be…

copy existing mattermost token to other teams
Currently there are many integrations via webhook / slash commands that need a specific token to be set up in the configuration.
if you want to use the same slash command for several teams its not possible without updating the database manually with the same token you used before in another team.
the best option would be something like a seperate option to set the generated token id manually, so its possible to use 1 token for 1 integration for all teams that are created in mattermost.
Did the same manually in the mattermost database, by selecting the commands table…

Show filenames after dragging a file into a message
Currently when you drag a file into a message the name of the file isn't shown until you send a message. It would be nice if the filename could be displayed before sending so that you can confirm the right file was dragged in.

Have "Unread" option showing all unread messages and notifications across all channels
Slack has something similar that shows above all channels. It makes it easy to browse through your unread messages without having to click each channel separately.

view or copy source of a message
It would be really useful to reuse markdown messages.
Currently, Users can see raw message only when markdown is disabled.
And they can only copy their own messages.30 votes -

for most small company, there is no ldap servier or sso. but all most have email service, self hosted or saas like google mail.
if there is a authorization type called smtp authorization like oauth2(google,gitlab...), it will make company helpful more without make another authorization system, bothered with account management.3 votes -
Create a wizz button, like the old MSN chat
Like the old school MSN chat, it will be nice to add a wizz button or slash command or something else ... ?, meaning we need you to pay more attention to our post, that could be triggered a move on the windows for desktop app, and/or a new notification message.

Markup to directly navigate to the ticket on Redmine, a small overview of the ticket as well.
Markup to directly navigate to the ticket on Redmine, a small overview of the ticket as well. For example, when I refer to a ticket I use #ticket_no. This could be parsed by the parser and replaced by an href that points to the ticket

Custom tutorial text
Enable the setting of custom tutorial text for the three tutorial intro screens, with markdown formatting support and preview of the messages to be sent.
As a secondary priority, enable the setting of different messages based on the preferences of the end user, defaulting to English if no message is set.
Requesting this because often organizations want to share more about the purpose of their Mattermost deployment, and include different links, e.g. link to naming conventions to use for channels, an internal user's guide to the key features in the system intended to be used, perhaps a video introduction from…

Context menu on user names or mentions, like "Send Email", "View Profile" and allow integrations
Clicking on a user mention shows other mentions. But maybe we want to interact with that user in other ways, like sending a message (which should open the private conversation with them), send an email, view profile, etc.
In addition, we could allow for integration with some other service. For example, integration can be defined as a URL endpoint that can pass/post the username as parameter or request a custom field in the use profile which then can be sent as parameter. For example, let's say we want to integrate with Skype to call the user via Skype. Integration might…2 votes -

Allow users and passwords to be created from admin console
While having users create their own accounts as a result of sending an e-mail invite, I'd like to be able to make users and assign them permissions and passwords right from the admin console, without having to configure SSO or drop to a command line.

Make referencing/embedding attached images easier
It's already easy to attach an image simply via drag and drop or pasting it from the clipboard. That's great!
Unfortunately at the moment it is not possible to attach an image and directly reference/embed it in the message, so that it is shown in the text. You first have to send the message to get access to the image links.
The easiest solution would be, to provide image links even without sending the message, so that we can link manually.
The more sophisticated solution would allow me to click on the image which should then paste the image link…

Better /me command style
/me command has very poor style distinction. It only uses italics but it is enclosed in a dialog balloon as any other message.
It is more distinguishable, for example, when the system balloon tells join/leave actions in 3rd person. I think something like that would be more accurate for the /me command.

Disable highlighting of own messages
When chatting, the own messages are currently highlighted (grey background) which is a little bit confusing in my opinion. It would be create to either disable that, turn it the other way around or make it configurable

Pseudo-random default avatars
Make the default user's avatars more random. Instead of just being a circle with the first letter of the user's username, use some hashing algorithm to generate some sort of identicons. An idea very popular nowadays (Github, GitLab, Gravatar, Slack, etc)

Assign User to incoming Webhooks
Hey,
we run Mattermost and have some webhooks set up for Taiga ( https://taiga.io ). We created a User "Taiga-Bot" for our webhooks.Right now the webhook is always assigned to the user that created given webhook.
I'd like to have an option to assign already created/new webhooks to any user as long that I'm logged in with a sysAdmin account.
