Channels: Mattermost

Mattermost is a Tier 3 channel. Wayland connects as a bot account on your Mattermost server. You create a bot, copy its token, and point Wayland at the server.

Before you start (prerequisites and accounts)

• A Mattermost server where you can create a bot account.
• The Wayland desktop app running with a model provider connected.

Create the credentials (on the provider side)

1. In Mattermost, create a bot account and copy its access token.
2. Note the server URL of your Mattermost instance.
3. Note the team ID the bot should operate in.

Connect it in Wayland (Settings -> Channels -> Mattermost)

1. Open Settings -> Channels and choose Mattermost.
2. Enter the Server URL.
3. Paste the Access token.
4. Enter the Team ID.
5. Leave Block private network as set for your environment; turn it off only if your server is on a private address you trust.
6. Save.

Verify (status goes from idle to connected, send a test message)

After saving, the status moves from idle to connected. Add the bot to a channel or message it directly, then confirm a reply.

Route to an assistant or team

Set the assistant and default model on the Mattermost page. Inbound messages route to that assistant.

Troubleshooting

A wrong server URL or token blocks the connection. If your server is on a private address and the connection is refused, check the block-private-network setting. See Channel Connection Issues.
