Mattermost Solutions for GitLab

An integrated command center experience for efficient and resilient software development and delivery. Activate Mattermost in GitLab Omnibus:

Go beyond integrations to streamline core technical processes

GitLab and Mattermost have developed an out-of-the-box, cross-platform solution to deliver technical workflows that are connected and controlled with collaboration and communication. As one of a handful of core tools in the GitLab Omnibus package, Mattermost comes ready to rock from the moment you install.

Technical teams engage with complex toolchains on a daily basis

Context switching between multiple applications and interfaces and losing track of processes all wastes valuable time. The ever-present danger of a fragile process breaking, data being held in insecure environments, the noise of notifications and managing multi-team processes is unacceptable in highly regulated, high stakes organizations.

Collaborate within and between secure systems

Secure your discussions, files, links, project plans, processes, IP, and more within a user-friendly, deeply connected environment.

Reduce effort and toil

Automate and document to reduce errors in everyday processes and drive team success through rapid product delivery.

Empower technical teams to align and deliver

Enable focused workflows and creativity while ensuring visibility and operational understanding.

A software management platform that centralizes daily tasks and cross-team communication

Integrated deployment and management

Simplify and secure self-hosted installation with turnkey Mattermost deployment, upgrades, and management via GitLab Omnibus.

Out-of-the-box GitLab interactions

Control merge requests, issues, pipelines, and deployments for your GitLab projects with in-channel tooling and bot conversations.

Customized command center connections

Deep extensibility via incoming and outgoing webhooks, slash commands, notifications, playbooks, and plugins.
