Integrating native file attachment capabilities into the n8n Mattermost node streamlines the process of directly sharing files and reports to Mattermost channels.

The idea is:

I propose adding a feature to the Mattermost node in n8n that allows posting with file attachments. This would enable users to attach files (such as reports, images, or documents) directly to their Mattermost posts through the node.

My use case:

I needed to post a report I created to a Mattermost channel. While researching solutions, I implemented a workaround using the HTTP Request node combined with a method outlined in a reference approach. This experience highlighted the need for native file attachment support in the Mattermost node.

I think it would be beneficial to add this because:

Native support for file attachments in the Mattermost node would streamline workflows for users who regularly share reports or files. It would eliminate the need for workarounds and simplify the integration process, thereby enhancing user experience and overall productivity within n8n.

Any resources to support this?
