Matrix

With Matrix modules in Make, you can send, edit, retrieve, and list messages, update rooms, list public rooms, members, and leave rooms.

To get started with the Matrix app, create an account with one of the clients available in matrix.org. For more information regarding Matrix clients and homeservers, refer to the Elements of Matrix API documentation.

Refer to the Matrix API documentation for the list of available endpoints.

Connect Matrix to Make

To establish the connection:

  1. Create an account with any of the clients as Matrix allows connection with Make using the client account credentials.

  2. Log in to your Make account, add a Matrix module to your scenario, and click Create a connection.

  3. Optional: In the Connection name field, enter a name for the connection.

  4. In the Home Server field, enter your homeserver's name. This can be a public Matrix server or your own custom server.

    Note: Matrix is a decentralized service, requiring you to connect either to a single server or your own server. Refer to the List of Public Matrix Homeservers for information regarding available servers and their homeserver names.

  5. In the Username and Password fields, enter your account credentials.

  6. Click Save.

  7. If prompted, authenticate your account and confirm access.

You have successfully established the connection. You can now edit your scenario and add more Matrix modules. If your connection requires reauthorization at any point, follow the connection renewal steps here.
