Hi,
Is it possible to start a direct conversation from outside Mattermost using a link?
What I’m thinking about is like a mailto link on a website.
After clicking, user should be redirected to the app, with direct channel opened.
I’ve read about deep links in docs, but don’t see an option like that.
Link could look like this: mattermost://<your-Mattermost-server-URL>/<team-name>/direct/<user-id>.
Great question, @mickoz! And welcome to the Mattermost forums! You’re absolutely on the right track with deep links. Mattermost does support deep linking, but unfortunately, there isn’t currently a way to open a direct message to a specific user via a public URL like mailto: links.
The closest available functionality is described here in our docs on deep linking:
