Add a config show cli command
For troubleshooting purposes it would be handy to have a
platform config show
command that lists the effective configuration values. Thus, overriding environment variables must be considered. At least from the wording ofplatform config validate
('The document is valid'), it seems that environment variables aren't considered.There could be filters to mangle the output, but
grep
is fine, imo.1 vote -
Visual effect to separate private chats from channels
I'd like to somehow tune the color scheme of the Mattermost to separate private chats from channels. First idea that I got my mind is that maybe there could be an option to set a different background color for private conversations?

Allow webhooks to trigger other webhooks posts
From: https://github.com/mattermost/platform/issues/1901
Outgoing webhooks are not triggered by other webhooks posts. For example if bota posts "hello" on Town Square and botb is typically triggered by "hello", it will not be triggered.
If this was implemented, the danger is creating cycles unintentionally, so there should be a way to avoid that.

Add a Message of the Day feature for each channel
We have several teams at work and each channel in the team has a specific purpose. It would be ideal if we could set a time at which a recurring message of the day would be posted. We would include links to resources for the team as well as recent news for people who have been out of the office and are returning.
It would be like an extension to the header and purpose sections. Ideally tagging people would work such that some of the messages can act as daily reminders to everyone of the schedule.

Add emoji management via API
It would be nice to be able to add / remove custom emojis via API. Then it would be very simple to propose complete packs of custom emojis and apply them.

Allow message attachments to generate mentions
SUMMARY
Notifications are not being generated for user names in message attachments (in my case specifically in fields) that are generated via a webhook.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Create a new message containing attachments/fields via a web hook. Include the name of the user in the attachment field. The name will not be recognized and tagged.
EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR
Mattermost would recognize a user's name, as defined in their notification preferences, when mentioned in a message that has an attachment/fields. Notifications would be generated for the user the same as if they are mentioned in a regular message.

Loop GIFs on mouseover
The GIF preview feature is great, but a channel full of looping gifs is visually distracting.
Discord's implementation of this functionality plays the GIF once, then repeats it on mouseover. This works really well and would be a nice polish to the current implementation.

Allow to create a private Slash commands (only available for one user)
It could be interesting to add per user slash command.
For example, I use an RSS integration which allow me to manage my RSS feeds from Mattermost with Slash commands. I would like to set this command as private, to avoid other user to manage my feeds.3 votes -

Add more colors of notification dots, and let users set a color for each channel
This will make MM much less distracting since it's easier to ignore chatter on "less important" channels.

100% Slack Compatible Webhooks
I would like Mattermost to be able to consume any Slack-compatible webhook. It is very frustrating that I have to build a tool to proxy webhooks from GitHub for example.

Show all threads in one place
Option to show all threads in which a user participates in one place. Ask from Startup School.
Note: By default mention notifications for threads aren't turned on, maybe we should default them to on to see to what extent this helps.

hide offline contacts
It would be nice to have an option, that enables the user to hide contacts that are currently offline.
This would mainly apply to the "direct messages".
It is really annoying to search through a long list (~50) of contacts you often need to chat with, when about 50% are currently offline and are therefore of no interest at the moment.71 votes -
Provide Channel description in tooltip in the left panel
Provide Channel description in tooltip in the left panel
Currently, we need to go to the channel, then click on the little arrow, then View Info
Personally, I spent 5 minutes to find this kind of information when I was checking that I didn't miss something and it is not yet available somewhere easily

Give an option to make team invite links one-time-use
Give an option to make team invite links one-time-use. Reusable invite links (especially ones that aren't auto-regenerated at any point) leaves too much opportunity for unauthorized signups

possibility to re-link uploaded images
When you upload or drag'n'drop an image to mattermost, that image gains a new name that does not end with an image extension, thus if you try to "copy image location" or use the "copy public link" from mattermost their will give u a link that you can paste back to matter most to re-link the image in a preview mode.
A copy public link will look like:
And copy image location will look like:
https://pre-release.mattermost.com/api/v3/files/zkqjspdektrqjde9xqnp7ef1er/get_preview
As you can see neither end with a image extension and so if I simple paste it back in a message it will…

load to my last message
The idea is to have a link, "load to my last message", right beside "Load more messages", the goal of it is to "load all chat messages up to the last time I talked in that channel", this way rather than seeing messages backwards, I can just click it and read the channel in order from the time I left it. Seems like a rather simple addition.
