Grist Secrets: Popups

This example walks through how to add a Notepad popup. Any widget can be used for the popup. The steps would be the same. The example document linked above also shows an Image Viewer custom widget popup.

#Mattermost letting slash commands work in the browser but not on mobile is ridiculous. The #Hermes gateway/integration works, but the mobile app grabs anything starting with / before Hermes ever sees it. So the exact same command works on web, then dies on mobile. Same bot, same chat, different rules.

And the suggested workaround somehow makes it worse: add a leading space so it sends as plain text, except now you risk breaking the command for the integration on the other end. It’s a full custody battle over a single character. If Mattermost is going to hijack /, it should either support custom integrations properly everywhere or get out of the way.

#Grist shipped an official MCP server, which should be a big win.

But if you self-host, you need the full/Enterprise edition to actually use it.

So the people most likely to want MCP for private, local, agent-driven workflows are the ones gated out. What a waste of potential.

I keep seeing these references to MCP server of the #Grist changelog, but where is the full MCP server documentation? Where’s the official one, at least? #GetGrist
