Set up the integration without writing code and automate content creation from Mattermost.
Synchronize blog content with Mattermost in real time or on a schedule for consistent updates.
Secure authentication with role based access and audit trails for peace of mind.
A concise glossary of terms used in this integration.
An API is a set of rules that lets software apps communicate and exchange data.
An endpoint is a specific URL in an API where you can request data or perform an action.
A slug is a human friendly URL segment derived from a post title used in links.
A webhook is a callback URL that receives real time data when a linked service triggers an event.
Turn a Mattermost thread into a draft blog post by pulling the thread title and recent messages via the Blogs API.
Assemble weekly digests from Mattermost activity and publish as blog posts or send via email using the Emails API.
Auto assign tags and categories to posts using topic keywords drawn from Mattermost messages.
In Blogs API generate an API key or OAuth token and authorize your Mattermost app to access it securely.
Choose the blogs and emails endpoints you will use and define Mattermost events as triggers.
Run tests verify mappings and deploy to production with monitoring.
No code options are available to set up the integration. Use the setup builder to connect Mattermost to the Blogs API without writing code. You can configure triggers and actions using a guided interface.
For posting blogs from Mattermost you typically rely on endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to create and validate posts. Additional endpoints such as blogs/author.readonly and /blogs/categories help enrich posts with author and category data.
To prevent duplicates use the slug exists check before creating a post. You can also implement upsert logic so edits update existing posts rather than creating duplicates.
Yes you can schedule posts and digests. Use the blogs schedule endpoints or the emails scheduling flow to publish at a chosen time.
Security is handled with API keys or OAuth tokens, scoped permissions, and encrypted transmission. Rotate credentials regularly and limit access to essential scopes only.
Yes you can map fields automatically. Map title content author slug and categories to ensure consistent publishing and routing.
Logs are available in the integration dashboard and in the system activity logs. Use webhooks and built in monitoring to track success and failures and set alerts.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
