## Bundled plugin
Mattermost ships as a bundled plugin in current OpenClaw releases, so normal
packaged builds do not need a separate install.

## Quick setup
1. Ensure the Mattermost plugin is available.
- Current packaged OpenClaw releases already bundle it.
- Older/custom installs can add it manually with the commands above.
2. Create a Mattermost bot account and copy the **bot token**.
3. Copy the Mattermost **base URL** (e.g., `https://chat.example.com`).
4. Configure OpenClaw and start the gateway.

## Native slash commands
Native slash commands are opt-in. When enabled, OpenClaw registers `oc_*` slash commands via
the Mattermost API and receives callback POSTs on the gateway HTTP server.

- `channels.mattermost.interactions.callbackBaseUrl`: optional external base URL for button
callbacks (for example `https://gateway.example.com`). Use this when Mattermost cannot
reach the gateway at its bind host directly.
- In multi-account setups, you can also set the same field under

- If `interactions.callbackBaseUrl` is omitted, OpenClaw derives the callback URL from
`gateway.customBindHost` + `gateway.port`, then falls back to `http://localhost:<port>`.

1. Attachments go in `props.attachments`, not top-level `attachments` (silently ignored).

4. Action `id` must be **alphanumeric only** (`[a-zA-Z0-9]`). Hyphens and underscores break
Mattermost's server-side action routing (returns 404). Strip them before use.

Common HMAC pitfalls:
- Python's `json.dumps` adds spaces by default (`{"key": "val"}`). Use
`separators=(",", ":")` to match JavaScript's compact output (`{"key":"val"}`).
- Always sign **all** context fields (minus `_token`). The gateway strips `_token` then
signs everything remaining. Signing a subset causes silent verification failure.
- Use `sort_keys=True` — the gateway sorts keys before signing, and Mattermost may
reorder context fields when storing the payload.
- Derive the secret from the bot token (deterministic), not random bytes. The secret
must be the same across the process that creates buttons and the gateway that verifies.

## Troubleshooting
- No replies in channels: ensure the bot is in the channel and mention it (oncall), use a trigger prefix (onchar), or set `chatmode: "onmessage"`.
- Auth errors: check the bot token, base URL, and whether the account is enabled.
- Multi-account issues: env vars only apply to the `default` account.
- Native slash commands return `Unauthorized: invalid command token.`: OpenClaw
did not accept the callback token. Typical causes:
- slash command registration failed or only partially completed at startup
- the callback is hitting the wrong gateway/account
- Mattermost still has old commands pointing at a previous callback target
- the gateway restarted without reactivating slash commands
- If native slash commands stop working, check logs for
`mattermost: failed to register slash commands` or
`mattermost: native slash commands enabled but no commands could be registered`.
- If `callbackUrl` is omitted and logs warn that the callback resolved to
`http://127.0.0.1:18789/...`, that URL is probably only reachable when
Mattermost runs on the same host/network namespace as OpenClaw. Set an
explicit externally reachable `commands.callbackUrl` instead.
- Buttons appear as white boxes: the agent may be sending malformed button data. Check that each button has both `text` and `callback_data` fields.
- Buttons render but clicks do nothing: verify `AllowedUntrustedInternalConnections` in Mattermost server config includes `127.0.0.1 localhost`, and that `EnablePostActionIntegration` is `true` in ServiceSettings.
- Buttons return 404 on click: the button `id` likely contains hyphens or underscores. Mattermost's action router breaks on non-alphanumeric IDs. Use `[a-zA-Z0-9]` only.
- Gateway logs `invalid _token`: HMAC mismatch. Check that you sign all context fields (not a subset), use sorted keys, and use compact JSON (no spaces). See the HMAC section above.
- Gateway logs `missing _token in context`: the `_token` field is not in the button's context. Ensure it is included when building the integration payload.
- Confirmation shows raw ID instead of button name: `context.action_id` does not match the button's `id`. Set both to the same sanitized value.
