Connect Coze to Mattermost

This recipe puts your Coze app behind a Mattermost bot. LangBot receives messages from Mattermost, runs them through a pipeline, and sends the answer back, so you do not write any platform code.

Coze builds agents visually. LangBot calls a Coze bot through the Coze API, so you can reach platforms Coze does not publish to and keep one bot across many channels.

What you need

• A running LangBot instance: LangBot Cloud (no server needed) or a self-hosted deployment with Docker or uvx langbot.
• A Coze account or instance that LangBot can reach over the network.
• A Mattermost bot account (role Member) and its access token, plus your Mattermost server URL.

Networking

LangBot only needs to reach your Mattermost server; Mattermost does not need to reach LangBot.

1. Prepare Coze

1. In the Coze developer console, create a token under API Management (coze.com offers Personal Access Tokens; coze.cn also supports service credentials).
2. Publish your agent with the API channel selected and copy its bot_id.

2. Create a pipeline

Open Pipelines in the LangBot WebUI, create a pipeline (or edit the default one) and set AI as follows. If the runner is not listed, install the official runner plugin from Plugins or the LangBot Space marketplace.

3. Create the Mattermost bot

1. Create the bot account in Mattermost (choose post:all for direct messages) and copy its token; it is shown only once.
2. Create a bot with the Mattermost adapter, enter the server address and token, and bind a pipeline.

4. Bind and test

Open the bot, select the pipeline you created, save and make sure the bot is enabled.

Send the bot a direct message, or mention it in a channel it has joined.

Troubleshooting

• Calls fail: check the token and bot_id for extra spaces, that the agent was published with the API channel, and that the base URL matches the Coze site.
• Administrator-related features are not supported; keep the bot role as Member.
• Disable streaming on the bot if your pipeline or AI provider does not support it.
• Check Monitoring in the WebUI: every message, pipeline run and error is recorded there.

FAQ

Do I need a server with a public IP for Mattermost?

No. LangBot only needs to reach your Mattermost server; Mattermost does not need to reach LangBot.

Does the Mattermost bot support streaming replies?

Yes. Enable streaming on the bot; the AI back end must also stream. See the platform feature matrix for details.

Can the same Coze setup serve other platforms too?

Yes. A pipeline can be bound to many bots, so one configuration can answer on several platforms at once.
