To use this plugin, you need to first set yourself up with http://mattermost.com. Download their software and set it up.
From here you'll need an *Incoming Webhook. This can be done as follows:
- Click on the Integrations option under the channel dropdown and select Incoming Webhook:
- From here you can select Add Incoming Webhook:
- Finally you'll be able to customize how you want the webhook to act/behave and you can press Save at the bottom when you're complete.
An example URL you may be provided could look like this:
# The URL provided by Mattermost:
http://localhost:8065/hooks/yokkutpah3r3urc5h6i969yima
^ ^ ^
| | |
hostname port webhook token
# From here you can do the following to generate your Apprise URL:
# - http:// becomes mmost://
# - drop /hooks reference
# Which gets you:
mmost://localhost:8065/yokkutpah3r3urc5h6i969yimaValid syntaxes are as follows:
mmost://{hostname}/{token}mmost://{hostname}:{port}/{token}mmost://{botname}@{hostname}/{token}mmost://{botname}@{hostname}:{port}/{token}mmost://{hostname}/{path}/{token}mmost://{hostname}:{port}/{path}/{token}mmost://{botname}@{hostname}/{path}/{token}mmost://{botname}@{hostname}:{port}/{{path}/token}
Secure connections (via https) should be referenced using mmosts:// where as insecure connections (via http) should be referenced via mmost://; they follow the same structure:
mmosts://{hostname}/{token}mmosts://{hostname}:{port}/{token}mmosts://{botname}@{hostname}/{token}mmosts://{botname}@{hostname}:{port}/{token}mmosts://{hostname}/{path}/{token}mmosts://{hostname}:{port}/{path}/{token}mmosts://{botname}@{hostname}/{path}/{token}mmosts://{botname}@{hostname}:{port}/{{path}/token}
| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| hostname | Yes | The server Mattermost is listening on. |
| token | Yes | The Webhook Token you would have received after setting up the Mattermost Incoming Webhook |
| port | No | The server port Mattermost is listening on. By default the port is 8065. |
| path | No | You can identify a sub-path if you wish. The last element of the path must be the token. |
| botname | No | An optional botname you can associate with your post |
| image | No | Identify whether or not you want the Apprise image (showing status color) to display with every message or not. By default this is set to yes. |
| channels | No | You can optionally specify as many channels as you want in a comma separated value (as a keyword argument). See example below for how to use this. You must also not restrict your Incoming Webhook to only focus on a specific channel or providing alternatives here will not work. |
