Improve styles of Mattermost and Slack messages
Resources
Description
The styles of the issue
and deploy
slash commands messages in Mattermost are very basic. Title and description, where the title is also a link to the issue. See example
For the Slack notifications service, we've got better-styled messages. With who is assigned and the author.
Both Mattermost and Slack messages should have consistent formatting and styles, with the most needed content. This will improve the user experience and adoption of the ChatOps feature.
Mattermost supports full markdown and Slack supports basic markdown. Slack's message docs set good guidelines on how messages should be formatted and styled.
