Stackhero includes a unique feature to automatically delete Mattermost messages after a certain number of days.
For example, you can specify that you want to keep messages for 365 days (1 year) in public and private channels, and automatically delete messages older than 1 year. This is very useful to comply with local data retention laws or to simply reduce your instance disk usage.
To do so, go to the Stackhero dashboard, select your Mattermost service, click on the "Configure" button and then configure the "Auto-delete posts" part as needed.
