Custom Development

Extend Mattermost with custom plugins, integrations, and AI-powered workflows tailored to your specific needs. From enterprise system integrations to specialized automation, leverage Mattermost’s extensibility to build exactly what your team needs.

What We Build

Custom Mattermost Plugins

Build native plugins that extend Mattermost functionality:

  • Custom forms and UI components
  • Slash commands for specialized actions
  • Bot integrations for automated workflows
  • Authentication and authorization extensions
  • Custom notification and alerting logic

Enterprise System Integrations

Connect Mattermost with your existing tools:

  • Ticketing Systems - Jira
  • CI/CD Pipelines - GitLab, GitHub, Jenkins deployment notifications
  • Monitoring Tools - Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog alerts
  • Business Systems - CRM, ERP, custom internal platforms
  • Security Tools - SIEM integration, vulnerability scanners

AI-Powered Workflows

Leverage Mattermost Agents for intelligent automation:

  • Local LLM integration (self-hosted AI)
  • Cloud AI provider connections (OpenAI, Anthropic)
  • Automated response and triage systems
  • Intelligent routing and escalation
  • Document processing and summarization
  • Data analysis and reporting bots

Webhooks & API Integration

Build lightweight integrations:

  • Incoming webhooks for external notifications
  • Outgoing webhooks for event-driven automation
  • Custom slash commands for quick actions
  • Interactive message buttons and forms
