The goal of this four-part series is to help you learn how to write your own Mattermost plugins for the first time. To kick things off, this article teaches you how to set up your developer environment. My test computer is a five-year-old laptop with an Intel i5 processor and 4GB of RAM. You need at least 30GB of hard disk for this project. Of course, you’ll also need an internet connection. We start with a freshly installed Ubuntu 20.04. You don’t need to install the desktop environment.

n8n is a fair-code licensed tool that helps you automate tasks, sync data between various sources, and react to events — all via a visual workflow editor.

In this article, we present five of our favorite use cases of n8n with Mattermost, for both work productivity and team engagement.
