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 Duktape) or lua seem most likely to me, but Dhall or something could also work).
The key advantage of this is that it lowers the barrier of entry to creating/contributing to bots.
This would support other feature requests, like: https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/12280503-bot-users and https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/19491472-offer-an-onboarding-bot and https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/13702560-preinstalled-matter-bot

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 noticeIs it a good idea ?

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 spellingWould be great if we could use
"mochi"
to find
"masashi-mochizuki"

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 FROMUsersWHEREUsernameLIKE '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.

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

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:

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.

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

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.

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 today. So I select "Yesterday" (from my list of "time machine" markers, based on login time for example) and MM refreshes showing me how it would look if MM thought I logged in yesterday.
What I'm after, I guess, is a way to find "recent" but no longer "new" posts.

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.

100% Slack Compatible Webhooks
I would like Mattermost to be able to consume any Slack-compatible webhook. It is very frustrating that I have to build a tool to proxy webhooks from GitHub for example.

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.

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, the system language setting, i.e. lang=en, lang=sv, etc. to allow the slash dispatcher to return the above data in the specified language, if possible.

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:
