Notes: Jira ticket

Currently ephemeral posts created by bots just show the default icon and username.

If you have any questions, reach out to @jasonblais on GitHub, or jason.blais on https://community.mattermost.com

I am interested in this one. :)

@scottleedavis Awesome, thank you 🎉

I had originally misunderstood this issue. I had thought ephemeral posts were not working for bots.... it is the icon and the username that should be updated.

This issue was wrongly labelled. The server side is fine, but this needs changes in both apps.

Sorry @scottleedavis for the confusion.
