The playbook can install and configure matrix-appservice-webhooks for you.
This bridge provides support for Slack-compatible webhooks.
Setup Instructions:
loosely based on this
inventory/host_vars/matrix.<domain-name>/vars.yml:matrix_appservice_webhooks_enabled: true
matrix_appservice_webhooks_api_secret: '<your_secret>'
journalctl -fu matrix-appservice-webhooks.service
you can adjust this in inventory/host_vars/matrix.<domain-name>/vars.yml as well.Note: default value is: info and availabe log levels are : info, verbose
matrix_appservice_webhooks_log_level: '<log_level>'
If you’ve already installed Matrix services using the playbook before, you’ll need to re-run it (--tags=setup-all,start). If not, proceed with configuring other playbook services and then with Installing. Get back to this guide once ready.
Invite the bridge bot user to your room:
either with /invite @_webhook:<domain.name> (Note: Make sure you have administration permissions in your room)
or simply add the bridge bot to a private channel (personal channels imply you being an administrator)
Send a message to the bridge bot in order to receive a private message including the webhook link.
!webhook
{
"text": "Hello world!",
"format": "plain",
"displayName": "My Cool Webhook",
"avatarUrl": "http://i.imgur.com/IDOBtEJ.png"
