Edit default emojis
We use the default emojis and the custom emojis in our Mattermost. To custom it even more, we would like to edit the full set of default emojis (not create new ones) e.G. `:D`.
The proposition could be done in several parts:
- setup in the administration panel a way to edit the picture for one default emoji
- setup a way from the administration panel to import a set of emojis to replace the default ones
- setup in the administration panel a way to reset the default emojis to the original ones
- update mobile applications to display…7 votes -
Optimize notification content
The title row could be utilized for the notification originator instead of always saying "Mattermost" taking space without adding value. The icon already tells you which app it's coming from. Also the content shows Markdown, emoji and escaping raw, also on Windows desktop.

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 bot_a posts "hello" on Town Square and bot_b 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.

Delete Direct Message History
Currently, we have users that work in close proximity to one another, and sometimes take on each other's identities, it would be nice if we had a way for a user to delete their direct message history. Reopening a direct message with a user should start fresh. If the logs remained unchanged that would be great too.

AppConfig support
AppConfig is a MDM management method for third part application.
It allow IT team in charge of device management to preconfigure company's apps according to internal needs.
Regarding Mattermost, this is needed to preset server URL + User ID. Like that end user only have to enter their password.
Better user experience for the end user and less work for the help desk.

Reply arrow on phone
The reply arrow that is seen when hovering over a message on the desktop app is not available on the phone apps until you hit the "...". Is it possible to have both the ... and reply arrow visible on the phone app as well? Thanks!

Copy/Paste Individual Messages
As it stands now, if I hold down on a message it selects one word, per Android's UI. Fine. However, when I click select all, it selects the entire chatroom, rather than that one message. It would be nice to (similar to Facebook Messenger) simply hold down on the message and have a menu pop up asking if you'd like to copy text. Similarly to another post I've made, perhaps in this pop up message, if there is a phone number or email listed in said message, you could select copy text (whole message), copy phone number, or copy email…

Clickable Phone Number in phone app
In other chat apps, if someone writes a phone number, it turns into a clickable link automatically, so you can easily call someone. In our field, we are constantly giving phone numbers in our chats for field staff who need a call from a supervisor, and this would speed up our processes immensely. Thank you.

If notification has only direct messages from single sender, add Reply-To with sender's email.

Switch between last two channels with key combination (like "PRE-CH" on TV remotes)
One may find the need to (ideally quickly) switch between the same two (or n) channels, similar to how one can do it with TV channels via the "PRE-CH" button on TV remotes.
It would be great to have a key combination for that.

More robust CLI utility
My shop is very Linux and command line heavy. We would like to see the [install dir]/bin/platfrom utility expanded to include more features, which can then be scripted. The first such feature we would like to see would be the ability to list users from the utility.

Restrict normal users to invite external users to a private folder
To have better security control and use MM as a viable alternative in an intranet environment, it will be great to have the option at admin level to disallow nornal users to invite external users without admin approval

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.

Member list on side of chat window w/ status indicator
Show a member list on the side of the chat window listing all the users that are in the current room, sorted by status and then name (so that logged out users are at the bottom).
This seems critical to communication .. who's in the room, who's online, who am I talking to, am I in the right room before typing @everyone, etc. At a glance. The little member button with drop down is insufficient especially in rooms with hundreds of people.

Allow navigation through all channel images
Right now you can only navigate through images posted at the same time, whereas slack will let you navigate through the entire history of images

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 incoming webhooks to have larger attachments.
The current webhooks attachment limit is not enough for rather big tables.
Alternatively:

Allow mattermost inside an iframe, in a controlled way
This pull request introduced a security measure to protect against clicjacking attacks: https://github.com/mattermost/platform/pull/253
But it also prevents some legitimate uses of iframes. For example, Nextcloud has a "external sites" function to run any app as if it was a Nextcloud app, by putting it in an iframe inside Nextcloud (https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/9/admin_manual/configuration_server/external_sites.html).
My proposal is to add some settings to allow an authorized domain, and then change X-Frame-Options, instead of DENY put ALLOW-FROM this domain. And to check the domain also in the javascript check in head.html.
This way it would allow legitimate uses, while still protecting against clickjacking attacks.
