# 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>'
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# 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
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Extending the configuration
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
There are some additional things you may wish to configure about the bridge.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Take a look at:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-appservice-webhooks/defaults/main.yml` for some variables that you can customize via your `vars.yml` file
 | 
						|
- `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-appservice-webhooks/templates/config.yaml.j2` for the bridge's default configuration. You can override settings (even those that don't have dedicated playbook variables) using the `matrix_appservice_webhooks_configuration_extension_yaml` variable
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## 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,start
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Usage
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To use the bridge, you need to 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 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.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Troubleshooting
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
As with all other services, you can find the logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by logging in to the server with SSH and running `journalctl -fu matrix-appservice-webhooks`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Increase logging verbosity
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The default logging level for this component is `info`. If you want to increase the verbosity, add the following configuration to your `vars.yml` file and re-run the playbook:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```yaml
 | 
						|
# Valid values: info, verbose
 | 
						|
matrix_appservice_webhooks_log_level: 'verbose'
 | 
						|
```
