Incoming webhooks notify users and we can't prevent it #13881
Comments
@Amonith What Mattermost version are you on? |
@amyblais 5.19.0 |
Do you mean that it notifies users who have the same first name and not the one user with the full username? |
@amyblais Well pretty much. Exact scenario (names changed): In my opinion matching by full name wouldn't be a reasonable solution either. It'd be better to allow disabling automatic user mentions altogether when setting up the webhook for a channel, because we can't assume that other software we're integrating with has even the same users ( |
Thanks, opened a ticket: https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-22611. |
Summary
Incoming webhooks notify users and we can't prevent it.
Steps to reproduce
@FirstName LastName
to notify somebody in said software.@Something
in the contents and notifies user with that login (see that it ignores what comes after space). This way it often notifies the wrong user.Expected behavior
Webhooks don't notify users automatically unless enabled. It would be useful to have a config for that when creating the webhook. If checked it would escape message contents.
Observed behavior (that appears unintentional)
Webhooks assume all systems have the same logins and always notify users.
