Smart Status Plugin for Mattermost

The Smart Status Plugin for Mattermost allows users to configure custom status messages that are automatically applied when they perform specific actions.

The first supported trigger is call participation—when users join a call, their status is automatically updated. More triggers will be added in future versions.

Admins can configure default status text and emoji for each supported action.

Development

Requirements

• Go >=1.20
• Node.js >=18
• Mattermost Server >=9.6.0
• Make

Build the Plugin

To build both the server and webapp components into a distributable plugin package, run:

make

This will create a .tar.gz file in the dist/ directory, which can be uploaded to your Mattermost server.

Development Workflow

• Server code lives in server/.
• Webapp code lives in webapp/.
• Use make to rebuild after changes.
• For faster iteration, you can deploy the plugin directly to a local Mattermost instance (see Mattermost developer docs).
