Sample Zaps

Here are some examples of how our team uses Zapier on our Contributors Mattermost instance:

Integrated Community

Posts made by the Mattermost community on our discussion and feature idea forums, GitHub, JIRA, and GitLab are zapped into the Community Heartbeat channel.

Above: GitHub comments from the community are shared in Mattermost with a link back to the post.

Social Media Savvy

Twitter mentions of @mattermosthq are zapped into the Twitter channel. Zapier’s RSS integration scans Hacker News and Reddit for mentions of Mattermost.

Welcoming Contributions

Tickets accepting pull requests are zapped into the APR Tickets channel.

Swift Customer Service

Zendesk integration zaps support ticket threads into Mattermost. Filtering by Zendesk tags allows us to zap different request types to different channels.

How it Works

Securely Connect Mattermost to Zapier using OAuth 2.0

Anyone on your team with a Zapier account and access to OAuth 2.0 apps can securely integrate zaps in any channel they have access to.

Format your Message

Specify the Mattermost team and channel for the zap. Then customize your message with standard Markdown formatting, including headings, links, text styling, block quotes, code blocks, tables and custom emoji. You can even choose the username and profile picture of the bot that will post your message.
