About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the process of collecting and publishing daily stand-up updates directly within your Mattermost environment. It leverages webhooks to receive commands and actions from Mattermost, processes configuration, and then posts well-formatted reports back to designated channels. By integrating n8n, teams can maintain productivity and transparency without manual overhead. The workflow supports dynamic configuration of stand-up titles, schedules, questions, and participants, making it a flexible solution for various team structures. It also handles user information retrieval for personalized interactions, ensuring smooth communication flow.
This solution empowers teams to focus on their work while ensuring that progress, goals, and blockers are consistently communicated, fostering a more efficient and collaborative work environment.

- Set up Mattermost Webhooks: Configure
standup-bot/slashCmdandstandup-bot/action/f6f9b174745fa4651f750c36957d674cwebhooks in your Mattermost integration settings. - Configure Credentials: Ensure your Mattermost API credentials (specifically
Mattermost account) are correctly set up in n8n. - Read Configuration: Use the
Read Config 1andRead Config 2nodes (not fully detailed in snippet) to store and access your Mattermost base URL, bot token, and stand-up configurations. - Handle Slash Commands: The
Slash Cmd from MMnode captures initial commands. Theifnode (config?) checks if the command isconfigto trigger configuration. - Open Configuration Dialog: If the command is
config, thePrep Config Dialognode prepares the data for a Mattermost dialog, which is then opened by theopen config dialognode. - Process Callbacks: The
Action from MMnode captures user interactions within Mattermost. Thecallback ID?switch routes these actions based oncallback_id. - Handle Stand-up Configurations: If the
callback_idisstandup-config, thePrep Config Overridenode processes the submitted configuration changes and updates your stored settings. - Process Stand-up Answers: If the
callback_idisstandup-answers, thestandup-answersnode (and subsequent implied nodes not in snippet) would process the collected stand-up responses. - Publish Reports: After processing answers, the
Prep Reportnode (not fully detailed in snippet) generates the report content, which is then sent to Mattermost via thepublish reportnode.
