Fetch Issue Infos when issue mentioned #6

Mattermost could render Issue Infos if a Issue is mentioned in Attermost

thanosk commented 8 years ago

This is definitely a good idea. Have you seen any similar plugin project implementing this for some other issue tracker? It could be useful for borrowing some implementatoion characteristics and know-how.

At this moment this plugin sits on the Redmine side, traps its triggers and forwards them over to a Mattermost installation. What you're proposing is actually giving birth to a new project: a plugin sitting on the Mattermost side, trapping discussions containing the hash symbol ('#') plus a number and querying Redmine for Issue information.

Thinking out loud, as a first step this can be easily set up without writing any code, just using a Hubot with either hubot-matteruser or hubot-mattermost adapter and also using hubot-redmine. Would that fulfil your requirements perhaps? Can you give it a shot?

I have seen this in discourse where for mentioned github issues the infos are fetched.

My understanding from the feature description an Mattermost is that the Gitlab webhook already responses back markdown which then is being rendered in the Mattermost message like seen in slack.
