Create a user account for your bot. You’ll probably want to write down the password somewhere in case you want to log back in later. Discourse does not need it.
Use the interface to join any rooms that you want to be able to send notifications to
Open the user settings by clicking your avatar in the top left, then All Settings
Configure the bot’s display name and avatar
Switch to the “Help and About” tab, scroll down to “Advanced”, and copy the Homeserver address and your “Access Token” - you’ll need them later.
DO NOT CLICK LOG OUT. If you do, the Access Token will be invalidated, and it won’t work. Instead, just close the incognito window. If you forgot to open an incognito window, go back to step 1
Set up Discourse
In your Discourse site settings, enter your home server address in the chat_integration_matrix_homeserver setting. Make sure to include the protocol. (e.g. https://matrix.org). Do not include a trailing slash.
Paste the access token you copied earlier into the chat_integration_matrix_access_token site setting
Enable chat_integration_matrix_enabled
Go to the Plugins tab, then Chat Integration
Go to the Matrix tab, then Add Channel
Enter a name for the channel (this is only displayed in the admin interface, it can be anything)
Enter the “Room ID” for a room that you want to send notifications to. In the Element web client, you can find it by opening your room, clicking the name at the top, then scroll to the bottom. It will look something like
!cdGUowUAqlgLHVerqE:matrix.org
Save Channel
Use the Test button on the channel you just created to check that everything’s working. You should see something like this:
At the time of writing, there does not seem to be a way of obtaining an “access token” for a “bot” in a user-friendly way. The incognito window solution is the most user-friendly way I could find
The matrix spec does not currently define a way of providing “rich text” messages. There is a spec under development, but for now this plugin uses the “unofficial” method which has been adopted in the element.io client. Clients that do not support this will simply fall back to a plain text message
There is no provision in this implementation for ‘refreshing’ access tokens. This is based on the understanding that the majority of homeservers currently in use do not expire tokens. If this changes in the future, this will need to be revisited.
I just tried setting up a matrix integration using the instructions above, and it all worked ok. Can you confirm that you’re running the latest version of Discourse and this plugin?
Are you using the matrix.org homeserver, or your own homeserver? The 422 error is coming from that server.
I would suggest double checking your channel identifier, and also your matrix access token in your Discourse site settings.
I have absolutely the same issue as @almereyda has. @david, can you update obtaing “Access Token”, please? (Riot seems to be intensively developed )

Ich habe die Einrichtung gerade selbst durchlaufen und es schien in Ordnung zu funktionieren. Ein paar Theorien:
Sind Ihre Räume verschlüsselt? Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob wir zusätzliche Arbeit leisten müssen, um verschlüsselte Räume zu unterstützen.
Vielleicht laufen die Zugriffstoken nach einiger Zeit ab. Das passierte früher nicht, als ich die Integration 2017 erstellt habe, aber das ist lange her . Ich werde meine lokale Konfiguration später diese Woche noch einmal ausprobieren und sehen, ob sie immer noch funktioniert.
Zur Information: @mattdm und ich konnten dies auf einen nachgestellten Schrägstrich in der Homeserver-URL in den Discourse-Einstellungen zurückführen.
Ich habe dies in den Anweisungen im OP vermerkt und auch die Anweisungen für das Zugriffstoken aktualisiert, damit sie mit der neuesten Benutzeroberfläche von element.io funktionieren.
Der Zugriffstoken des Bot-Kontos wurde unabhängig verifiziert, indem eine Nachricht mit der API (_matrix/client/r0/rooms/{room_id}/send/m.room.message) an unseren eigenen Matrix-Server gesendet wurde.
Die Discourse-Logs zeigen:

Ich habe es nicht versucht, aber das wäre interessant. Meinen Sie, alle Beiträge in einem Thread zusammenzufassen, um die Kanalunordnung zu reduzieren, oder würden dabei Themenantworten in einem Matrix-Thread veröffentlicht werden?
Ich bin neugierig, ob es Entwicklungen beim Hinzufügen von Thread-Antwortunterstützung für Matrix gab. Einige unserer Benutzer würden dies zu schätzen wissen.
