Mattermost Playbooks is purpose-built for technical operators to move fast with digital checklists for repeatable workflows. In our ongoing mission to modernize processes, we’re excited to share an early look at Playbooks on Mobile. We aim to bring core Playbook capabilities to your phone or tablet—so you can manage incidents and tasks on the go.
Whether you’re on-site, in the field, or away from your desk, having Playbooks on mobile will help maintain process continuity from anywhere.
Here’s a demo video showing how Playbooks on Mobile will work:
Accessing Your Runs
We’re introducing a channel-level banner that highlights any runs associated with that channel. This makes it simple to track and participate in runs that are relevant to your current context. Just tap on the banner to dive into one of your runs. If no runs are active, the banner won’t appear.
When you tap into a run, you’ll see a familiar view from Playbooks on desktop showing the run name, summary, owner, task list, and all key details associated with the run.
Post Status Updates
Need to send a status update? Simply tap “Post update” and fill out the update based on the pre-set template.
Viewing and Completing Tasks
Tasks are at the core of every Playbook run. On mobile, you can check off completed tasks by tapping the checkbox, or open a bottom sheet with more details by clicking on the task.
Finishing a Run
When your work is done, you can finish a run right from your phone. A confirmation prompt ensures you’re ready to close out the workflow and lets everyone know that the run has concluded.
All of these capabilities will also be available on tablets and iPads.
License
Since Playbooks is only available in Enterprise, this new functionality on mobile will only be available in Enterprise plans when released.
