Configuration
Enabled - Enabling or disabling all custom functions of this extension affects the automation and visibility of its features in the client area. When the extension is disabled, the automation capabilities and related features provided by the extension will not be active or visible to clients. However, as an administrator, you will still have access to configure and utilize the extension's functionalities through the administration interface. This gives you the flexibility to control the visibility and automation aspects of the extension based on your specific needs and preferences.
Server URL - The URL of your Mattermost server to which you want to send all data and notifications. Please be careful when filling out this field as it is one of the most important in this extension. When entering, it is very important to maintain the correct structure: before the domain or IP address, enter http:// or https://, depending on your server settings, and then add a trailing slash (/).
Access Token - This is the personal token of the administrator from whose account all notifications will be sent. You can obtain this token by following the instructions here: https://docs.mattermost.com/developer/personal-access-tokens.html
The user role from which notifications will be sent must be System Admin. Otherwise, most of the functionality may not work properly.

Annotation containing a direct link to discuss
When creating a new ticket, an annotation will appear within the same ticket from the administrator's side, containing a direct link to discuss this ticket on your Mattermost server.
If you encounter an error upon accessing the link, it indicates that you do not have access to this channel.
What new ticket notifications look like
The main view of the ticket has a special structure and represents a link directly to the ticket in your WHMCS: #(Ticket Number) - (Ticket Title). There is also a reaction 
indicating that the ticket is new and has no new replies from the client.
In the Thread, the message about the new ticket will have the text of the client's email. This will help you immediately see the content of the ticket.
What ticket reply notifications look like
When receiving a notification that the client has replied to the ticket, the Thread will display the text of the client's email. The reaction will also change to
indicate that the ticket has a client reply.
Please note that this only works with tickets created after installing and configuring this module. All tickets opened before this and their replies will not be displayed on your Mattermost server.
What closed ticket notifications look like
When a ticket is closed, the reaction will change to 
indicate that the ticket has a closed status.
