  1. When idle, only send email notification if status doesn't change to online in 1 minute

    I suggest the following behavior when email notifications are turned on. Assuming email notifications are turned on, when a notification is triggered (direct message, mention, etc.), if the recipient's status is idle, trigger the usual MatterMost interface and system notifications, but wait 1 minute before generating an email. If the user's status changes back to online, we can assume they can/have seen the notification so do not generate an email. If their status is still away after the 1 minute delay, send the email as normal.

    There are many times I have the MM client open but not the active…

  2. Search in archived / deleted channels

    We would love to have the possibility to archive private and public channels and still be able to search for content inside such channels with respect to the users permissions and without recovering the channels.
    Right now we end up having endless channels starting with zzz_ to maintain this function.

  3. Make MFA part of the team edition

    Securing your chat server should not depend on the size of your wallet. I think there are enough other reasons for enterprises to pay for Mattermost (support plans, branding, LDAP). Allowing additional security to private persons, open source- and small teams would be awesome.

  4. make threads collapsible

    A toggle option so that threads appear as "N comments" and open in the side-panel, so they do not interrupt the main flow of the channel, and you can follow each thread mode easily.

    Hi all! Mattermost mobile apps v1.3 and later support the ability to turn off notification sound and vibration.
    – on iOS, you can configure it on your system notification preferences
    – on Android, sign in to the Mattermost, tap on the three dots at the top of your screen to open the main menu and choose “Settings”. There, you can configure your notification preferences.

    iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mattermost/id1257222717
    Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mattermost.rn

    For the desktop and browser, you can configure desktop notification sounds from your Account Settings: https://docs.mattermost.com/help/settings/account-settings.html#notifications

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

    Screenshot from Slack: http://take.ms/YhtK8

    Thanks everyone for the feedback!

    We’ve now added a status icon in the channel member list (clicking the member icon in the channel header) and sorted it by user status.

    This improvement is supported in Mattermost v4.7.0 and later.

  9. Move channels to other teams

    Situations:
    - When a projects splits up, certain channels need to go to the new team.
    - When an idea grows (channel in the main team), it needs to be moved to its own team.
    - For contract-reasons some channels need to be archived, where only management has access.
    - When reorganizing the teams and channels
    - When letting a customer access Mattermost, not all channels (like "problems with customer communication") should be in that team.

    How to move a channel to another team? It seems not to be possible, and I prefer not to go into database-hacking.

  10. Add Button Message like Slack does

    On Slack, Bots can interact with users by adding UX elements within the message as you can see there : https://api.slack.com/docs/message-buttons

    This would be an awesome feature to have in Mattermost.

  11. image

    While Mattermost's image expansion works as expected when the URL ends in .gif, .jpg, etc, image-based links that Slack would expand automatically are not expanded by Mattermost.

    For example, post links like the following to a Mattermost channel or DM:
    http://media.riffsy.com/images/41a79faf658c913d77bfe36b8a231244/raw
    http://gph.is/2lQfDuj
    http://imgur.com/gallery/83mmP

    etc, and note that they do not expand, requiring a user to click on them to view in a new browser tab. It would be nice to have the images auto-expand in-line.

  12. Display larger emoji

    I'd love if the (built in) emoji would be displayed a bit larger. 22px instead of 20px would look great.

    And if the message consist only of emoji (one or multiple), the emoji could be rendered considerably larger.

  15. Confirm with ping warning before sending (at)all (at)everyone (at)here (at)channel mentions

    Notifications are challenging, and a common source of friction seems to be "hey, you triggered a notification I didn't want by saying (at)all".

    Slack handles this nicely: they intercept the message before send, and advise the user of the outcome.

    By using (at)all, you are about to notify 123 people in 12 timezones. Are you sure? [edit message] [send now]

  16. EE: Allow administrators to turn off the ability to create channels to normal users

    I would like to add the ability for administrators to completely turn off the ability to create channels for regular users at the site and team levels.

    This way, an organization can ensure that only an approved set of channels are created and used.

  17. search by date

    Some Mattermost instances have many channels and a crazy number of posts, leading to searches on terms returning too many results. It would be good to be able to search by date range. For example, gmail uses after:yyyy-mm-dd before:yyyy-mm-dd and probably other date formats to enable searching by date.

  20. Allow editing of messages only for a given time

    You should be able to set a duration in which you are able to edit your own messages. This way you can correct typos but can't change whole content of old messages.
