Mattermost + Foldr Integration
Mattermost is the leading open-source self-hosted Slack alternative, popular with DevOps teams and regulated industries. Foldr connects through Mattermost incoming webhooks or a custom slash command.
How to Connect Mattermost to Foldr
Create an inbound webhook in Mattermost
In Mattermost's webhook / automation settings, add a new webhook that fires on the event you care about.
Point the webhook at Foldr
Use https://foldr.space/api/v1/webhooks/ingest?token=<your-foldr-webhook-token> — Foldr accepts JSON bodies and deduplicates by source ID.
Add an outgoing Foldr webhook (optional)
If you want events to flow the other way (Foldr → Mattermost), add your Mattermost webhook URL to your Foldr workspace settings.
