Disable join/leave messages globally
It would be nice to disable the join/leave messages independently from the user specific setting. We use a channel to post anonymous posts via a bot. People can see who joined and see a link to an anoynmous post.

Private metadata on mobile notifications
My organization is using Mattermost heavily, and we'd like to receive mobile notifications to make it more useful. However, currently Mattermost shares a lot of metadata with Apple's and Google's servers:
This is preventing us from enabling notifications.
I'd like to suggest that you treat the Apple and Google push notification services just as a "wake up" signal, without including user ID, team ID, etc. The mobile app would then connect (via TLS) to its server, download any new messages, and generate local notifications based on those.
I recently spoke with someone on the Mattermost team who suggested that…

Email notification for any activity (without mention)
Currently, the notification system allows:
- Getting browser desktop notification for any activity
- Getting email notification for mentions
I'd like to have the mix: get email notification for any activity when I'm not logged-in. Many systems allow this (eg. gitter's "You have unread messages" emails), but I couldn't find it in Mattermost.
Ideally, the system would :
- Wait a few minutes before sending the notification, to send a mail containing several messages at once.
- Send only one notification even if there are further messages, to avoid flooding the mailbox with tons of emails
This would be very useful to follow low…

Desktop app: Ability to find a permalink
There is no way to navigate to a permalink (the way I can in a browser address bar). This makes collaborating with inbound traffic (e.g. a reference in an email) very hard, I end up switching to a browser. (I realize this might be borderline feature request, but the lack of handling is specific to this client, or my ignorance of how to use it.)
- Get permalink from existing post
- Switch to different channel, same team
- Paste full link (or just token ID) into search
- Nothing found

Allow a channel to broadcast messages to several teams
I would like to enable our Product Owner to broadcast information to several teams at once without inviting her to every team (which makes not that much sense because she isn’t a team member but the PO).

End-to-end encryption of mobile notifications
If a user is sending highly sensitive information over a Mattermost deployment, having it traverse Apple's and/or Google's servers unencrypted en route to a mobile device may not be acceptable. At the same time, configuring the server to exclude the message body removes a significant amount of potentially-valuable context from the notification.
The conflict between these concerns could be resolved by having the Mattermost server encrypt mobile notifications with a per-device key prior to submission, and having the mobile app decrypt the notification before presenting it to the user.
This can be done on iOS with a Notification Service Extension: …

Compliance Export (Beta) Suggestion
As per the official documentation here - https://docs.mattermost.com/administration/compliance-export.html#why-are-compliance-exports-beta, it is mentioned that:
"Exports do not yet include messages with special types, namely system messages, webhook message attachments and custom plugin messages."
Do we have an estimation as to when this will be implemented in the upcoming Compliance Export for E20?

System Administrator: Ability to Import Users via CSV / Excel File
While system administrator are limited to only have the following methods to create / import users:
* Local users: mattermost user create CLI, direct invite, team invite link
* External users: LDAP / AD / SAMLIt will be good to have the ability to use CSV or Excel file to bulk import the users with specific formatting especially if the organization has a lot of customers and is not utilizing AD / LDAP / SSO.

Display direct message description instead of member list in the channel list
For direct messages, an option to display the channel description in the channel list instead of (an often truncated) list of members would be very useful.
This would make it much easier to find the correct channel if you have many of them; and also when direct channels have many and/or similar members.

Implement Support for Slackline
Posting from Justin I on old feature request forum: https://mattermost.zendesk.com/hc/communities/public/questions/204151705-Slackline-for-Mattermost
http://slackline.io/ lets you connect 2 channels from different accounts.
It would be great to be able to do this with Mattermost to make transitioning from Slack to Mattermost easier.
i.e. we can have people on Mattermost and Slack, but all conversations that happen on Mattermost are pushed into Slack and visa-versa so that holdouts don't miss anything.If it helps, code is here: https://github.com/ernesto-jimenez/slackline

Add support for custom header/footer on webpages
It would be extremely useful for a straight-forwarded way of adding a custom header and footer to the static HTML pages. For instance, my employer requires some boilerplate legalese on every internal webpage and currently this would require editing nearly every HTML file in /web/templates. Similarly it would be nice to be able to add badging to the header of every page with a logo or something along those lines.

Copying and pasting is not great
A copied mattermost conversation has three lines per message, and the first line is like "ryantm1 minute ago" and the last line is blank. It would be nice if there were cleaner ways to copy the conversations.

Add per-channel email notification controls
Similar to per-channel desktop notification controls, I'd like the option to disable email notifications on a per channel basis. A good use case for this is our Git repo web hook: I don't need an email telling me I pushed commits to the repository (currently the author name generates a mention notification).
My original forum post might provide additional context.

make administrators get a notification when new channels were created
When users create new channels, there currently seems to be no notification emails send to administrators neither when a new channel is added nor who this channel added. This prevents administrators from being informed proactively about misbehaviours of users (i.e. if users create non corporate/private information exchanges on the system). A moderator feature would be very appreciated to help the IT securing itself and not having to explain the CEO why there is a public channel for exchanging illegal content, for example.

Add ephemeral chats
Implement ephemeral chats. Useful for one-off topic discussions that may intersect users who do not all participate in a common room and for topics that don't fit existing rooms. There would be a simplified creation process (no topic, no purpose, invite users as the first action), generally more like Direct Messaging. It should also be possible to add/remove people from the conversation and promote it to a real room at some point. Maybe I just want to talk with a group of colleagues about dinner tonight...
Benefits:
- Quick
- No competition for room names
- Possibly allow them to…9 votes -
