# Setting up Appservice Webhooks bridging (optional, deprecated)
|
|
|
|
**Note**: This bridge has been deprecated. We recommend not bothering with installing it. While not a 1:1 replacement, the bridge's author suggests taking a look at [matrix-hookshot](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-hookshot) as a replacement, which can also be installed using [this playbook](configuring-playbook-bridge-hookshot.md). Consider using that bridge instead of this one.
|
|
|
|
The playbook can install and configure [matrix-appservice-webhooks](https://github.com/turt2live/matrix-appservice-webhooks) for you. This bridge provides support for Slack-compatible webhooks.
|
|
|
|
See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/turt2live/matrix-appservice-webhooks/blob/master/README.md) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
|
|
|
|
## Adjusting the playbook configuration
|
|
|
|
To enable the bridge, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_appservice_webhooks_enabled: true
|
|
matrix_appservice_webhooks_api_secret: '<your_secret>'
|
|
|
|
# Uncomment to increase the verbosity of logging via `journalctl -fu matrix-appservice-webhooks.service`
|
|
# matrix_appservice_webhooks_log_level: 'verbose'
|
|
|
|
# As of Synapse 1.90.0, uncomment to enable the backwards compatibility (https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/upgrade#upgrading-to-v1900) that this bridge needs.
|
|
# Note: This deprecated method is considered insecure.
|
|
#
|
|
# matrix_synapse_configuration_extension_yaml: |
|
|
# use_appservice_legacy_authorization: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Installing
|
|
|
|
After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags](playbook-tags.md) as below:
|
|
|
|
<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install-all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
|
|
```sh
|
|
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Notes**:
|
|
|
|
- The `ensure-matrix-users-created` playbook tag makes the playbook automatically create the bot's user account.
|
|
|
|
- The shortcut commands with the [`just` program](just.md) are also available: `just install-all` or `just setup-all`
|
|
|
|
`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly ([2x-5x faster](../CHANGELOG.md#2x-5x-performance-improvements-in-playbook-runtime) than `just setup-all`) when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all`, or these components will still remain installed.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Invite the bridge bot user to your room in either way.
|
|
|
|
- Send `/invite @_webhook:example.com` (**Note**: Make sure you have administration permissions in your room)
|
|
- Add the bridge bot to a private channel (personal channels imply you being an administrator)
|
|
|
|
You then need to send a message to the bridge bot in order to receive a private message including the webhook link:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
!webhook
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The JSON body for posting messages will have to look like this:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"text": "Hello world!",
|
|
"format": "plain",
|
|
"displayName": "My Cool Webhook",
|
|
"avatar_url": "http://i.imgur.com/IDOBtEJ.png"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can test this via curl like so:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
|
--data '{
|
|
"text": "Hello world!",
|
|
"format": "plain",
|
|
"displayName": "My Cool Webhook",
|
|
"avatar_url": "http://i.imgur.com/IDOBtEJ.png"
|
|
}' \
|
|
<the webhook link you've gotten from the bridge bot>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Setting Webhooks with Dimension integration manager
|
|
|
|
If you're using the [Dimension integration manager](configuring-playbook-dimension.md), you can configure the Webhooks bridge with it.
|
|
|
|
To configure it, open the Dimension integration manager, and go to "Settings" and "Bridges", then select edit action for "Webhook Bridge".
|
|
|
|
On the UI, press "Add self-hosted Bridge" button and populate "Provisioning URL" and "Shared Secret" values from `/matrix/appservice-webhooks/config/config.yaml` file's homeserver URL value and provisioning secret value, respectively.
