Who am I
Reads the account the token belongs to: id (needed for create_direct_channel), username, first_name, last_name, nickname, email, roles and timezone.
List my teams
Lists the teams the account belongs to: each with id (for list_channels and search_posts), name (the URL name), display_name, description and type (O open, I invite only).
List my channels in a team
Lists every channel of a team the account is a member of: each with id (for create_post and list_posts), name, display_name, type.
Find a channel by name
Finds a channel by its team's URL name and its own URL name (the parts of its address: /acme/channels/town-square is team acme, channel town-square).
Read a channel's posts
Reads a page of a channel's posts, newest first: order[] holds post IDs in order and posts maps each ID to its post.
Read a thread
Reads a post and every reply in its thread: order[] (post IDs) and posts (each post's message, user_id, create_at).
Search posts
Searches a team's posts the account can see.
Find a person by username
Reads a user by username (without the @): id (for create_direct_channel), username, first_name, last_name, nickname, email (if the server shows it) and locale.
Write 2
Create, change or send.
Post a message
Posts a message (Markdown allowed, up to 16,383 characters) to a channel or direct-message channel as the token's user or bot.
Open a direct message
Opens (or returns the existing) direct-message channel between the account (my_user_id, from get_me) and another user (user_id, from get_user_by_username).
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything.

Ideas
Ideas to start with
Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.
- 01
Ask about your Mattermost data
Ask a question in plain words. The agent can list my teams, list my channels in a team or find a channel by name in Mattermost, then answers with what it found.
- 02
Let an agent update Mattermost
Have the agent post a message or open a direct message in Mattermost as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.
- 03
Work from your CRM
Give one agent HubSpot and Mattermost: it can search contacts in HubSpot and post a message in Mattermost in the same run.
