Mattermost Incoming Webhooks

Create an Incoming Webhook

Click on "Integrations" > "Incoming Webhooks" > "Add Incoming Webhooks"

How to use the Webhook URL?

Write a message to the default channel:

curl -i -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 -d '{"text": "Hello, World!"}' \
 https://your-mattermost-server.com/hooks/GENERATED-KEY

Note the "BOT" tag!

Write a message to a different channel than the default:

curl -i -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 -d '{"text": "Hello, World!", "channel": "CHANNEL-NAME" }' \
 https://your-mattermost-server.com/hooks/GENERATED-KEY

Write a message with additional content:

curl -i -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 -d '{"text": "Hello, World!", "props": { "card": "Card demo content." } }'\
