Mattermost

Mattermost (self-hosted) team messaging

Mattermost is the open-source Slack alternative deployed by teams that need on-prem messaging — defence, finance, regulated industries, and engineering orgs that want to own their data. Tiny Command connects to any Mattermost instance (self-hosted, Mattermost Cloud, on-prem) via a server URL plus a personal access token or bot account token. There are no real-time triggers in this connector — Mattermost emits events via WebSockets rather than HTTP webhooks, which doesn't fit Tiny Command's event model cleanly; for real-time, the standard pattern is to configure a Mattermost outgoing webhook on a slash-command or channel-keyword and point it at a Tiny Command webhook trigger. Seven actions cover the messaging surface: Send Message (channel post), Send Direct Message (1:1 or group DM), Search Posts (Mattermost's full-text query syntax), Get User, List Users, List Channels, and List Teams. The team-channel hierarchy is exposed everywhere — every channel belongs to a team, every user can be a member of multiple teams.

Actions

Do anything Mattermost can do, from a workflow.

Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's an AI output, a form field, or a search result.

ActionWhat it does
Get Mattermost UserReturns a user by ID with profile and team memberships. Useful for resolving user IDs to readable identity in downstream notifications.
List Mattermost ChannelsReturns channels in a team that the connected user can see. Useful for channel inventory and for resolving channel IDs at workflow setup.
List Mattermost TeamsReturns teams the connected user is a member of. The base lookup for multi-team workspaces.
List Mattermost UsersReturns users in a team or workspace. Useful for "ping every team member" fan-out workflows or for user directory sync.
Search Mattermost PostsFull-text search with channel and date filters. For "find posts mentioning X" archive-search workflows.
Send Mattermost DMSends a 1:1 or group DM by passing user IDs. Auto-creates the DM channel if needed. For "alert specific person" notification patterns.
Send Mattermost Channel MessagePosts a message to a specific channel with optional attachments (Slack-attachment-style cards). The base hook for "external event → post to team channel" workflows.

Before you build

Three things worth knowing.

Filter at the trigger

Tiny Command counts a run the moment a trigger fires. Filtering early means only matching events spend your usage budget.

Authorize once, reuse anywhere

Connect Mattermost once and every workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. You don't have to re-auth per workflow.

No JSON to read

Every Mattermost field shows up in the visual picker for downstream nodes. The raw payload is there for power users, optional for everyone else.

FAQ

Questions about the Mattermost integration.

If we missed yours, ping support. We usually reply within an hour.

How do I connect Mattermost to Tiny Command?
Open the Tiny Command workflow builder, drop in a Mattermost node, and click Connect. Authorize Mattermost once and any workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. Most teams finish the connection in under two minutes.
What Mattermost triggers does Tiny Command support?
Tiny Command focuses on outbound actions for Mattermost today. Use Tiny Command's universal Webhook or Schedule trigger to start Mattermost workflows, then run any Mattermost action you need.
What Mattermost actions can I run from a workflow?
7 Mattermost actions are available out of the box, covering communication operations like "Get Mattermost User". Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's a search result, an AI output, or a form field.
Is the Mattermost integration real-time?
Mattermost actions execute synchronously inside your workflow. Tiny Command waits for Mattermost's API to confirm before continuing to the next step, so downstream nodes can rely on the result.
Do I need to write code to use Mattermost with Tiny Command?
No. Every Mattermost trigger and action is fully configurable from the visual workflow builder. For edge cases that aren't covered, drop in a custom HTTP node and call any Mattermost API endpoint directly.
How much does the Mattermost integration cost?
There's a free tier you can start on without a credit card. Higher run volumes and team features come with paid plans. The Mattermost integration itself has no per-app surcharge.
