  1. I can search easily for a group name on iPhone, but there is not the same convenient matching feature on macOS.

    I can search easily for a group name on iPhone, but there is not the same convenient matching feature on macOS. Also on iPhone, I see all unread messages at top of list, on macOS I have to scan the whole list to find unread messages. So the macOS client needs to catch up with the iPhone.

  2. Simplify chatbot integration by enabling bots to run sandboxed, in-process on the server

    Currently if I want any sort of 'bot' behavior, I need to:

    • Get an API token (ask an admin for permission)
    • Stand up a server or learn serverless
    • Figure out deployments/monitoring/logging

    To test my code, I need to expose my in-progress work to the internet so it can receive webhooks.

    This is a substantial bar to clear, resulting in monolithic projects like Hubot with many plugins.

    Organizations implementing this style of bot frequently have only a handful of people who know how to contribute to it.

    An alternative would be to support 'Managed bots': custom code (language TBD; javascript (via…

  3. add a go to date feature similar to stack

    add a go to date feature similar to stacks. I use this for example to go to the top of a channel. Specially after joining a new channel.

  4. Private message with authorized members only

    Hi, (I am new to this forum but I have installed Mattermost in my organization)

    Is it possible to add a new choice in the administrative console in the option “Allow users to open private message channels with” to request permission to create private messages with members who use the platform.

    Currently, the configuration choices are:

    All members of the team
    Any user on the Mattermost server
    and I would like to add :

    Only authorized members
    To prevent all members from communicating privately without prior notice

    Is it a good idea ?

  5. direct message

    Improve search/filter during direct message.
    With more than 100 users, it is really tough to find the user for DM through scrolling. Sometimes the user only know the first name and not last name... or worse, can only guess the spelling

    Would be great if we could use

    "mochi"

    to find

    "masashi-mochizuki"

  6. Delete an user's private conversations

    In some cases we need to delete all private conversations from an old user but without deleting the user (so it doesn't break continuity in public conversations).
    We use an SQL query:
    SELECT DISTINCT Name FROM Channels INNER JOIN
    (SELECT Id FROM Users WHERE Username LIKE 'Foo')
    sub ON Name LIKE concat('%', sub.Id, '%');
    Then "platform channel delete" to delete the channels.

    But it would be much easier to have a CLI command that does this.

  7. Include channel creation and management restrictions in team edition

    I know these features were left out of Team Edition to keep it simple, but these options are present in the config.json file.

    Enabling this features from just the config.json file would keep the team edition ui simple, but give smaller teams the same ability to control the whims of their users

  8. Add support for using channel_id in the URL instead of channel_handle

    Right now you can link to a channel using the following URL

    https://my-mattermost-server.com/teamname/channels/channel_handle

    However, if the channel handle is changed, the link gets broken.

    This feature proposal adds support for using channel_id the URL instead, which doesn't change. Example:

    https://my-mattermost-server.com/channels/channel_id

  9. Image preview should honor exif orientation

    Mattermost fetches images from a URL to that image, however it ignores the exif data. This results in the preview often being in the wrong orientation.

  11. Offer an onboarding bot

    An on-boarding bot helps new users to on-board into a work environment. In every channel a new team member enters the On-boarding Bot will send a message explaining the channel, what is done there, how the team member can get involved, whom to contact etc. This would help organizations and teams to work more efficiently.

  12. Unread marker "time machine"

    It would be nice to be able to "go back in time" when it comes to "unread posts". I have not studied in detail how MM keeps track of this, but I'm guessing a "last seen postId" or a "last seen postDate" or something similar. Anything greater than this is "unread". Anyway, what I would like to see is a way to "undo" or "go back in time" on nn unread states.

    Say I login today, I have 33 unread/new messages. But I want to go back to the "unread count" I had the last time I logged in before…

  13. Allow for bots to directly upload images

    Bots are only able to post text messages to rooms, however, it would be convenient if bots were able to attach photos as a message to the room.

    We would prefer if our bot didn't have to upload images to an accessible URL and then post that url to the room (and then only get a preview of an image), as this adds a few extra steps to viewing the image and requires our bot to be aware of when it is done uploading the image to the host and then finally post the link to the room.

    At present we can render tables, can we have the control to left/right align the tables.
    Use case : For me my data is some what large, which can't fit in a screen. If we have the option to right align some tables, i can manage the space.

  16. Set policy for password history

    A companies security policy often has rules stating that a password may not be reused. To facilitate this many applications have a feature that allows the administrator to state how many passwords the application should remember until a password can be reused. Think, for example, a maximum of 10 password that the application must remember.

  19. Automated configuration data for /slash command

    How about allowing for a special parameter ?getslashinfo=1 or something return the various fields that need to be filled in in the Slash Command configuration.

    Add a button "Fetch" to the right of the Request URL and if clicked, MM goes to retrieve Display Name, Description, Request Method, Autocomplete Hint and Autocomplete description fields.

    Even if the user gets it back in the wrong language, it'll be easy to translate to the local language. Reponse username and icon should obviously not be allowed to be fetched like this, nor the trigger word.

    A second parameter could be sent with getslashinfo=1,…

  20. Switch the status color indicator to the background of the icon

    User icons are okay now on the left side list but would it be even more clear to switch the icon color to white and change the background color for the status? Please check the link for a demo:
