Mattermost - Create PDF, Word, Excel Documents
Mattermost can connect with Documentero to automatically create and share documents whenever new activity happens in your team channels. For example, new user sign-ups, pinned posts, or fresh discussions in Mattermost can trigger Documentero to generate PDF, Word, or Excel files from your templates. This makes it easy to keep records, prepare reports, or share formatted updates without manual work.
