# Mattermost
## Quick setup
1) Create a Mattermost bot account and copy the **bot token**.
2) Copy the Mattermost **base URL** (e.g., `https://chat.example.com`).
3) Configure Clawdbot and start the gateway.
Minimal config:
```json5
{
channels: {
mattermost: {
enabled: true,
botToken: "mm-token",
baseUrl: "https://chat.example.com"
}
}
}
```
## Environment variables (default account)
Set these on the gateway host if you prefer env vars:
- `MATTERMOST_BOT_TOKEN=...`
- `MATTERMOST_URL=https://chat.example.com`
Env vars apply only to the **default** account (`default`). Other accounts must use config values.
## Chat modes
Mattermost responds to DMs automatically. Channel behavior is controlled by `chatmode`:
- `oncall` (default): respond only when @mentioned in channels.
- `onmessage`: respond to every channel message.
- `onchar`: respond when a message starts with a trigger prefix.
Config example:
```json5
{
channels: {
mattermost: {
chatmode: "onchar",
oncharPrefixes: [">", "!"]
}
}
}
```
Notes:
- `onchar` still responds to explicit @mentions.
- `channels.mattermost.requireMention` is honored for legacy configs but `chatmode` is preferred.
## Targets for outbound delivery
Use these target formats with `clawdbot message send` or cron/webhooks:
- `channel:<id>` for a channel
- `user:<id>` for a DM
- `@username` for a DM (resolved via the Mattermost API)
Bare IDs are treated as channels.
## Multi-account
Mattermost supports multiple accounts under `channels.mattermost.accounts`:
```json5
{
channels: {
mattermost: {
accounts: {
default: { name: "Primary", botToken: "mm-token", baseUrl: "https://chat.example.com" },
alerts: { name: "Alerts", botToken: "mm-token-2", baseUrl: "https://alerts.example.com" }
}
}
}
}
```
## Troubleshooting
- No replies in channels: ensure the bot is in the channel and mention it (oncall), use a trigger prefix (onchar), or set `chatmode: "onmessage"`.
- Auth errors: check the bot token, base URL, and whether the account is enabled.
- Multi-account issues: env vars only apply to the `default` account.
