Allow emoji reactions to trigger outgoing webhooks
Just like it is possible to trigger outgoing webhooks from specific keywords, it'd be nice to trigger an outgoing webhook from a emoji reaction on a message.
The idea is to allow the message being reacted to to be sent to another system where it could be parsed and analysed for further action.

Support keyboard shortcuts on iOS
As on the desktop, keyboard shortcuts are a huge improvement regarding efficiency and usability.
iPads are more and more used with keyboards and Apple provides an easy way to add keyboards shortcuts to an app.
So it would be great if without touching the iPad screen we could :
- Switch to a channel/conversation (jump to)
- Send a message
- Search in the team
- Switch between teamsThanks

Support Mattermost behind Basic Auth
Currently, Mattermost Server usage behind Basic Auth is limited/handicapped due to authentication issues caused by the websocket connection (as it seems, basic auth headers are not propagated correctly).
In our company, public services must be at least secured by basic auth. I guess other companies have same restrictions.
So basic auth support would be a nice feature.

Sending payload in »application/json« for slash commands
Almost all integrations in Mattermost send or receive payloads with a »application/json« content type. Incoming Webhooks, Outgoing Webhooks (configurable, see ticket https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/issues/1649), Interactive Message Buttons… but not »Slash Commands«. Slash Commands are the only integration type, which sends it payload as »application/x-www-form-urlencoded«. Please allow sending a slash command with »application/json«.

Have favourite channels visible from other teams
Private messages and their favourites are visible regardless of team. It would be nice if favourite channels are also available from any team, regardless of the team they belong to. This would make communication across teams faster and easier.

Restricted channels with a join policy
Currently all you can have in Mattermost is public channels (joinable by everyone in the team) and private channels (not visible in any listing, and you need to be added).
The problem is that sometimes you want to have a private discussion where e.g. everyone from the IT department is allowed to participate. Currently you would have to add your whole department to such a channel (which is spammy, especially since you cannot hide any channels from your sidebar without leaving them).
It would be nice if it was possible to mark a channel as restricted. Such a channel would…

Method to get/export channel member list
Sometimes it would be handy to export a list of channel members for example to form an emailing list or something. Can't find a way to do this either on UI or with commandline tools. Ideally it would be configurable to get Name or Email or both.

Implement emoji picker for Android (same as already implemented for reactions)
A lot of our team members ask for this feature, as using Android's system emoji keyboard leads to ??? on other platforms. Would be really helpful to have an Android emoji picker in the same style which is already implemented for reactions. The current system (typing : and emoji name) is not really working, especially for new team members.

Add background color on BOT messages (by condition or log level)
I just wonder that if MM could set background color for messages by condition.
Like hipchat that bot messages could show with different color by info level:
green => success
yellow => warning
red => failed32 votes -
deleted message notice
Current behavior: when a user deletes a message, it's removed from the channel altogether.
Requested behavior: when a user deletes a message, that message is replaced by "message deleted" as a status message (the same style as "user has joined the channel"). This could be implemented as default behavior, or as a setting.
Reasoning: it can be important for the context of a conversation to see that one or more messages were deleted. A user might have responded to a message that has been deleted, which can change the meaning of the message.

Add a /quote command
Pasting a multi-paragraph block of text for quoting is currently frustrating, as you can't just type "> " and then paste and hit return, because if "\n\n" happens to exist in the block, it'll fall out of quote mode.
Since we already have /code for code pastes (like HipChat), let's also go for /quote: you do "/quote <paste><enter>" and done.
The implementation would be virtually identical to /code, just replace the 4 spaces with "> "

Modify a user via CLI
Would be nice to have the ability to update/modify a user via the CLI. Similarly to create user, you are able to set their name, email, etc. It would be nice to be able modify those details of an existing user via the CLI or even UI. I've found some user's end up entering their names all lower case or some don't even enter their details.

Ability to Reply to Message with Webhook
It would be awesome for us, when something like this could be achieved:
I use a slash command in a thread (right side), the triggered post will include the parent message id.
Add the parent message id to incoming webhooks. So I can reply to a thread with webhooks.

Add user profiles and text boxes
It would be great if there was a way to expand profiles to include boxes where users could host information. This might include: location, about me, skills, experience, links to external sites and portfolios, or active tasks engaged with. If there is already a way to do this it would be great to know. Thanks!

emoji reaction keyboard shortcut
This was my most used shortcut in another messaging app that starts with an S and ends with an ack.
Also to then be able to select emoji with arrow keys and enter is crucial. Would even go a step beyond if shift enter allowed you to pick more than one emoji reaction! #Mindblown

channel profile images
Support avatar icons for channels.
it would be great if the service and apps provided a similar API and UX to allow profile images to be assigned and queried for a channel.
This might work similarly to what is in place for users, where the Mattermost API supports getting a profile image for a user, except this request would provide profile image by channel.47 votes -
Create an editable message ('wikipost')
Our team documents project features by posting and re-editing posts. (They can then be flagged, or in future, made sticky, to keep them at hand.)
What would be useful here is to make a post that I choose to allow others to edit, in a wiki or confluence-style.
