+# Integration Config
+
+A [Ferdi](https://getferdi.com) recipe is a node module. In order to learn more about node modules and their configuration check the official [Node.js documentation](https://nodejs.org/api/modules.html) / [npm package.json documentation](https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json).

+
+## Config flags
+
+`string` **id**<br />
+Unique identifier name of the plugin. The name of the plugin folder has to be the same.
+
+This ID cannot contain any special characters or spaces.
+
+`string` **name**<br />
+Display name of the service.
+
+`string` **version**<br />
+Version number. Will be used for auto updating the integrations. The version number must be in a semver compatible format: `1.0.0`.
+**important:** the version will be used to figure out if a new recipe update should be deployed to the user. If you make changes to a recipe, **always** increase the version number or Ferdi won't update your recipe.
+
+`string` **description**<br />
+Short description about your integration. Not currently used.
+
+`string` **main**<br />
+The plugins main entry point. In our case `index.js`.
+
+`string` **author**<br />
+Author of the integration. Not currently used.
+
+`string` **license**<br />
+The license of the integration. We prefer MIT, but here is a list of all the available SPDX licenses http://spdx.org/licenses/
+
+`string` **repository**<br />
+Link to your Github, Gitlab or Bitbucket public repository
+
+`object` **config**<br />
+This is the Ferdi specific integration config.
+
+* `string` **serviceURL**<br/>
+Defines the URL that should be loaded into the Ferdi webview.
+<br /><br />
+If you want to load a simple URL like `https://www.messenger.com`, you can simply define it via the `serviceURL` parameter. If your service URL is team based, e.g. Slack or HipChat you can use `https://{teamId}.slack.com`.
+<br /><br />
+If your service works with custom URLs, just leave this empty.
+<br /><br />
+**Examples**
+```json
+{
+    "serviceURL": "https://www.messenger.com"
+}
+```
+<br />
+
+```json
+{
+    "serviceURL": "https://{teamId}.slack.com"
+}
+```
+* `boolean` **hasTeamId** _default: true_<br />
+Is this a team based service? If true, the interface to add the service will require a team identifier. e.g. `[teamId]`.slack.com
+* `boolean` **urlInputSuffix**<br />
+This option is only used in combination with `hasTeamId: true` in order to display the value of `urlInputSuffix` after the input for TeamId to make it obvious to the user what input is required from him. Eg. _&lt;TeamID&gt;.hipchat.com_
+* `boolean` **hasCustomUrl** _default: false_<br />
+On premise services like HipChat, Mattermost, ... require a custom URL. This option enables the user to enter a custom URL when adding the service.
+* `boolean` **hasNotificationSound** _default: false_<br />
+Some services provide their own notification sound. In order to avoid multiple sounds when the user receives a message set this to `true`. If the service has no built in notification sound set this to `false`.
+* `boolean` **hasIndirectMessages** _default: false_<br />
+Services like Slack or HipChat have direct messages e.g. a mention or message to every user in a channel (@channel) and indirect messages e.g. general discussion in a channel. If this flag is set to `true`, the user can enable/disable if there should be a badge for indirect messages.
+* `string` **message**<br />
+Info message that will be displayed in the add/edit service interface.
+
+## Example
+### Mattermost configuration
+```json
+{
+  "id": "mattermost",
+  "name": "Mattermost",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "description": "Mattermost",
+  "main": "index.js",
+  "author": "Stefan Malzner <stefan@adlk.io>",
+  "license": "MIT",
+  "repository": "https://github.com/meetFerdi/recipe-mattermost",
+  "config": {
+    "hasNotificationSound": true,
+    "hasIndirectMessages": true,
+    "hasCustomUrl": true
+  }
+}
+```
