Initial Requirements (subject to Scoping)
Requirement | User Story | Importance | Jira Issue | Notes | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Notify Users of Mentions and comments on their content | When a user is mentioned in a Confluence page/content - it should be easy for them to review those comments in one place (Display in ConfluenceBot channel) |
| ||||||||
2 | Easily search for confluence pages to refer to | A user should be able to easily search confluence for topics or keywords to find a page they looking for and refer to it ( |
|
|
| ||||||
3 | Refer to recently accessed confluence pages | A user should be able to quickly recall their recently accessed Confluence pages so they can get back to them easily. (Possibly display in RHS) |
| ||||||||
4 | Refer to Saved confluence pages | A user can “star” pages in Confluence, this command would make it easy to see a list of the confluence pages the user has “starred” (ie: |
| ||||||||
5 | Refer to Recently Updated pages | Display a stream of recently updated content (updated by others) in Confluence underneath the hierarchy of Pages/Sites the user has starred (likely a CQL query) |
| ||||||||
6 | Pasting a link to Confluence provides context about the content | When pasting a link into MM that is hosted on a connected Confluence server, the content should render some information about the content (within the channel or in RHS) such as Title, Parent Doc, Most Recent Update, Link to Page. |
| ||||||||
7 | Display a confluence page within a tab on ConfluenceBot Channel | (This is highly dependent on building a “tabbed interface API” for plugins) Within a channel, a channel admin could create a new tab with a relevant Confluence page rendered upon it (such as a Confluence project page related to the channel subject) |
| ||||||||
8 | Optionally preview Confluence Content in RHS | When clicking on a Confluence link in MM, have the option to see it in the RHS. When displaying the content, display additional meta data such as other contributors, and comments and link to original page. |
| ||||||||
9 | Allow a user to easily star/favourite content from within Mattermost | To better serve up information tailored for this user, they should be able to star/unstar content when they are viewing it in Mattermost. |
| ||||||||
10 | Read Later/Catchup Bot | Tie into RemindBot to remind a user to read/review some long-form content which they may encounter in their day to day work that they want to read later. For example a project plan comes along in the channel, I don’t have time to read it now - flag it to read later. Then have a “Read-Later” tab in RHS and a bot reminder. |
| ||||||||
11 | Attach MM Conversation to Confluence content | Allow a post-action menu item to create a new piece of content in Confluence (like meeting notes). This would open a MM modal window and allow user to browse Spaces in which to create the content. |
| ||||||||
12 | Allow user to Connect their own Confluence login to MM | ||||||||||
13 | Support Multiple Confluence instances and allow a user to switch between them | At least a consideration for future architecture. |
| ||||||||
14 | Channel Notification Subscriptions | Allow a channel admin to subscribe to certain Confluence notification events in a channel (such as whenever a new page is created within Space X, notify the channel) |
| ||||||||
15 | Task assignments | Allow users to create/view/updates/complete tasks in Confluence from MM | |||||||||
16 | Create a Space | Allow users to create a space and add users to it from MM |
User interaction and design
...
The RHS could be triggered by a button in the Channel header Bar OR a Quick Link (similar to Github plugin) and then provide access to confluence functionality.
Alternatively, slash commands could also expose the RHS. Keep in mind the RHS has the capability of being expanded to fill more of the screen, giving some room to potentially render Confluence pages in the RHS (they have a specific API endpoint for extracting and rendering content in different view formats, we would use one of those):
