Nextcloud users can now add a Mattermost integration to their setup, meaning you can now use both platforms together to share files securely and collaborate more efficiently.
The integration makes it possible to share Nextcloud Files to a specific channel in Mattermost. Simply upload a file directly to a channel or send a shared link to collaborate with colleagues, friends, or family.
„Nextcloud is a popular collaboration platform and bringing our two platforms closer will give a productivity boost to teams in a range of use cases.“
We aim to satisfy all our customers needs, so when Mattermost had an influx of its customers using Nextcloud, we knew we needed to join forces to provide a stronger user experience.
What is Mattermost?
Mattermost is an open source, self-hostable online chat service with file sharing and search. Their platform is often used for developer collaboration and includes channels, playbooks, and boards among other tools, plugins, and of course integrations.
Just like Nextcloud, Mattermost attracts a large community of contributers due to our similar missions for providing secure, on premise platforms for collaboration.
Mattermost is a versatile player in the collaborative chat world, with a variety of customers seeing integration between the platforms. Our shared values of open source, trusted, self-hosted technology make an integration an obvious move.
Use cases for Mattermost integration
This integration can be used in many ways to improve workflows and simply make it easier if you have a team or customers that uses both platforms.
For instance, say you are planning a company event like a picnic. You are chatting in your team’s Mattermost channel and talk about the details. A colleague has last year’s staff dietary restriction’s document stored in her Nextcloud and wants to share it in the same channel for sake of simplicity and convenience. All she has to do is install and setup the Nextcloud-Mattermost integration, and it’s as easy as a few clicks.
