Pre-configured integrations¶
Open source, self-hosted integrations (private and public cloud)¶
A wide array of open source self-hosted integrations are available from the community applications directory.
Many of these use Mattermost incoming webhooks to deliver data into Mattermost from on-premises systems like Jira, Jenkins, GitLab and other popular products.

Slack-compatible webhooks (private and public cloud)¶
Mattermost webhooks are “Slack-compatible, not Slack limited”. In applications supporting Slack webhooks you can replace the Slack webhook URL with a Mattermost webhook URL and the integration will work.

Custom Integrations¶
Command line interface (private and public cloud)¶
