Hi there,

I want to create a mattermost client plugin which adds an action to the dropdown of a post/message. How do I access the message text within this plugin? And is it possible to modify the text from the plugin?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @neffezz! Thank you for reaching out.

Our devs can probably help with this most effectively, would you like to ask about this in our [developers channel](https://pre-release.mattermost.com/core/channels/developers) on our build server?

If you need any help, let me know and I can also help post this question for our devs in the channel!

🙂
