Mattermost

Mattermost is self-hosted team chat, and it has bot accounts built in. You create one, hand memcode its token, and invite it to the channels where you want the agent.

Step 1: Create a bot account

In Mattermost, open Integrations → Bot Accounts → Add Bot Account (a system admin may need to enable bot accounts first). Give it a name and create it. Mattermost shows the bot's access token once. Copy it.

Step 2: Invite the bot

Add the bot to the channels you want it to answer in, the same way you invite any member.

Step 3: Configure

memcode gateway setup

Choose mattermost and enter your server URL (for example https://chat.example.com) and the bot's access token. When prompted for allowed users, enter the Mattermost user ids that may drive the agent. You can find a user's id from their profile (View Profile → copy ID) or in the admin console under Users.

Step 4: Run

memcode gateway

then message the bot. Direct messages are always answered; in a channel the bot acts only when you @mention it, so it does not run on ordinary chatter. The reply comes back in the same conversation.
