Configuration file

The only required option to start sending messages to mattermost is the webhook url. You can either set this in a configurations file (globally in /etc/mattersend.conf or locally in $HOME/.mattersend.conf) or specify it on the CLI with the –url argument.

You can have multiple sections to override DEFAULT settings and later select them from the CLI with the –section argument.

This is an example of a configuration file for mattersend:

[DEFAULT]
url = https://mattermost.example.com/hooks/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
icon = :ghost:
username = This is a bot
channel = @myself

[angrybot]
icon = :angry:
username = AngryBot

Example usage

echo "Hello world!" | mattersend -U https://mattermost.example.com/hooks/XXX
mattersend -U https://mattermost.example.com/hooks/XXX "Hello world!"
