Slack
Slack is a channel-based messaging platform. With Slack, people can work together more effectively, connect all their software tools and services, and find the information they need to do their best work — all within a secure, enterprise-grade environment.
Integrate the Slack API with the Mattermost API
Setup the Slack API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Mattermost API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Slack and Mattermost remarkably fast. Free for developers.

Overview of Slack#
The Pipedream Slack app enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Slack API. Once you authorize the Pipedream app's access to your workspace, you can use Pipedream workflows to perform common Slack actions or write your own code against the Slack API.
The Pipedream Slack app is not a typical app. You don't interact with it directly as a bot, and it doesn't add custom functionality to your workspace out of the box. It makes it easier to automate anything you'd typically use the Slack API for, using Pipedream workflows.
- Automate posting updates to your team channels
- Create a bot to answer common questions
- Integrate with your existing tools and services
- And much more!

Overview of Mattermost#
Mattermost is an open-source platform for secure collaboration across the entire software development lifecycle. With the Mattermost API on Pipedream, you can automate common chat operations, integrate with DevOps tools for real-time alerts, orchestrate workflows based on chat events, and connect with other services to enhance team productivity. For instance, you could trigger actions on issue tracking platforms when discussing bugs or link project management tools to update task statuses directly from your Mattermost channels.
