Add Cisco Teams support

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'd love to see a Cisco Teams connector to be able to connect our Mattermost instance to the Cisco Teams instance to exchange messages.

Is it this product ? https://www.webex.com/products/teams/index.html ?
Seems like https://github.com/jbogarin/go-cisco-webex-teams is a good library to use for this. Anyone who want to PR this ? :)

[shochdoerfer]

Correct, that's the product

I've been looking through the docs and found this

Differences Between Bots and People
One key difference between Webex Teams Bots and regular users is that, in group rooms, bots only have access to messages in which they are mentioned. This means that messages:created webhooks only fire when the bot is mentioned in a room.

https://developer.webex.com/docs/bots/differences-between-bots-and-people

This means that we can't receive messages from cisco teams unless the bot name is specifically mentioned.

I'm not sure if it would be useful to add support for this bridge as it doesn't seem very useful this way.

(as it seems to be a paying service you could ask them to add support for extra permissions to have specific bots read complete channels)

[shochdoerfer]

In that case I'd say skip the implementation until the needed permissions are implemented. We don't use Cisco Webex Teams but a client of ours.

Hey I wanted to know if there's been any progress here, WebEx Teams is used by some folks I work with and would love to be able to federate somehow. Is there a plan for support? I'm happy to weigh in and do testing, of course.
