# Mattermost Notifications Service
|
|
|
|
The Mattermost Notifications Service allows your GitLab project to send events (e.g., `issue created`) to your existing Mattermost team as notifications. This requires configurations in both Mattermost and GitLab.
|
|
|
|
You can also use Mattermost slash commands to control GitLab inside Mattermost. This is the separately configured [Mattermost slash commands](mattermost_slash_commands.md).
|
|
|
|
## On Mattermost
|
|
|
|
To enable Mattermost integration you must create an incoming webhook integration:
|
|
|
|
1. Sign in to your Mattermost instance.
|
|
1. Visit incoming webhooks, that will be something like: `https://mattermost.example.com/your_team_name/integrations/incoming_webhooks/add`.
|
|
1. Choose a display name, description and channel, those can be overridden on GitLab.
|
|
1. Save it, copy the **Webhook URL**, we'll need this later for GitLab.
|
|
|
|
Incoming Webhooks might be blocked on your Mattermost instance. Ask your Mattermost admin
|
|
to enable it on:
|
|
|
|
- **Mattermost System Console > Integrations > Integration Management** in Mattermost
|
|
versions 5.12 and later.
|
|
- **Mattermost System Console > Integrations > Custom Integrations** in Mattermost
|
|
versions 5.11 and earlier.
|
|
|
|
Display name override is not enabled by default, you need to ask your admin to enable it on that same section.
|
|
|
|
## On GitLab
|
|
|
|
After you set up Mattermost, it's time to set up GitLab.
|
|
|
|
Navigate to the [Integrations page](overview.md#accessing-integrations)
|
|
and select the **Mattermost notifications** service to configure it.
|
|
There, you will see a checkbox with the following events that can be triggered:
|
|
|
|
- Push
|
|
- Issue
|
|
- Confidential issue
|
|
- Merge request
|
|
- Note
|
|
- Confidential note
|
|
- Tag push
|
|
- Pipeline
|
|
- Wiki page
|
|
- Deployment
|
|
|
|
Below each of these event checkboxes, you have an input field to enter
|
|
which Mattermost channel you want to send that event message. Enter your preferred channel handle (the hash sign `#` is optional).
|
|
|
|
At the end, fill in your Mattermost details:
|
|
|
|
| Field | Description |
|
|
| ----- | ----------- |
|
|
| **Webhook** | The incoming webhook URL which you have to set up on Mattermost, it will be something like: `http://mattermost.example/hooks/5xo…` |
|
|
| **Username** | Optional username which can be on messages sent to Mattermost. Fill this in if you want to change the username of the bot. |
|
|
| **Notify only broken pipelines** | If you choose to enable the **Pipeline** event and you want to be only notified about failed pipelines. |
