Mattermost alerts

Bugsink sends alerts to Mattermost using an incoming webhook.

Create the incoming webhook in Mattermost

1. Open Product menu → Integrations → Incoming Webhooks.
2. Select Add Incoming Webhook, enter a name and description, and choose its default channel.
3. Create the webhook and copy the generated URL.

If Integrations is unavailable, a Mattermost system administrator may need to enable incoming webhooks. Treat the URL as a secret: anyone with it can post to the configured Mattermost server. See Mattermost’s incoming-webhook documentation for server-side details.

Add the webhook to Bugsink

1. Open Projects and select the project’s megaphone icon (Alerting Settings).
2. Select Add, enter a display name, and choose Mattermost.
3. Paste the webhook URL. Optionally enter a channel name such as town-square, or @username for a direct message.
4. Save the service, select Test, and check Mattermost.

Leave Channel empty to use the channel selected when the Mattermost webhook was created. An override can target a public channel, a private channel the webhook creator belongs to, or a direct message.

See the alerts overview for alert conditions, multiple destinations, and delivery-failure reporting.
