Matrix notification

[poperigby]

I'm trying to get Diun to send a message to a Matrix room using webhooks. This is what Matrix is expecting:

{
  "text": Message
  "format": Plain or HTML
  "displayName": The webhook's Matrix display name
}

Is it possible for me to make it so Diun's JSON will be formatted so it fits into the text section?

@poperigby I'll need more information so we can integrate the notifications for Matrix:

• Link to API documentation
• Auth method and endpoint to call

[poperigby]

Here's the client server API for Matrix: https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/latest

I think you might need to use a bot to send the notifications. Here's a bot SDK written in Go, because you seem to be comfortable with that language: https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-go

Alternatively you could try and make Diun work with this existing webhook bot: https://github.com/turt2live/matrix-appservice-webhooks.

Do either of these seem feasible to you? I could try and dig something else if they don't work.

There is a simple endpoint for sending messages to a room, which is definitely the easiest way to do this. The relevant areas in the documentation, which @poperigby linked above, are:

• 5.1 - Using access token for auth, can be via request header or query string
• 9.6.2 - The endpoint to use
• 13.2.1.1 - The event type to use with the endpoint, m.room.message
• 13.2.1.7 - The different message types available, the relevant one being m.notice, which is intended for automated messages.

That was fast. Thanks!

Tried with v4.3.1 and it works great. Thank you
