Matrix

How to build a Matrix Bot

You can choose any Matrix server. Here, we will be using matrix.org and Element as an example.

To register a Matrix account, follow these steps:

1. Open Element and click "Create Account".
2. Fill in the required information.
3. Log in and create a public room for publishing (optional).
4. Go to Room Settings > Advanced, you can find Internal room ID (optional).

Configuration

After creating a Matrix account, you will have the Homeserver, User ID, Password, and Internal room ID.

Next, place these keys in the environment or configuration file:

• WAYBACK_MATRIX_HOMESERVER: Homeserver of your choice, defaults to matrix.org
• WAYBACK_MATRIX_USERID: User ID, e.g. @alice:matrix.org
• WAYBACK_MATRIX_ROOMID: Internal room ID
• WAYBACK_MATRIX_PASSWORD: Password from your registration step.
