Mattermost for Microsoft Teams enables you to collaborate with technical & operations teams seamlessly through the Mattermost app, without leaving Microsoft Teams. This Mattermost integration includes 2 components:

  • A Mattermost plugin that enables direct message, group message, and chat synchronization as well as the ability to link and synchronize channel-based collaboration.

  • A Mattermost app for Microsoft Teams embedded within a Microsoft Teams workspace across desktop and web clients that enables Central IT organizations to provide an extended customization experience for technical and operational teams while staying firmly integrated into the Microsoft 365 all-employee platform.

See the following product documentation to install and use Mattermost for Microsoft Teams:

Additional integration features include:

  • Improved reaction time in the event of an incident by accessing alerting features in Mattermost directly from within Teams.

    Mattermost is open-source and can be extensively customized to integrate with various system monitoring and alerting tools. If your tech team has set up unique alerting features in Mattermost, use the app to access these directly from within Teams, including system status updates, improving reaction time in the event of an incident.

  • Simplified workflows through a single interface for communication and DevOps management.

    If your technical team uses specific DevOps tools (such as Jenkins, Jira, GitHub, etc.) that are tightly integrated with Mattermost, embedding Mattermost in Teams can give direct access to these integrated services. This simplifies workflows by providing a single interface for DevOps use cases.

  • The ability to quickly run scripts within Microsoft Teams.

    Mattermost supports the use of a CLI, which can be a major advantage for tech teams. If you need to run scripts or execute commands via Mattermost, embedding it within Teams allows you to use this functionality from either platform.

  • The ability to embed custom functionality to accelerate technical workflows.

    If your tech team has created custom bots and plugins that function with Mattermost, embedding it within Teams will allow everyone to access these utilities. These may include custom bots for streamlining incident management, security operations and red/blue team workflows.
