Integrations¶
Integrations are bots, bridges and widgets that you can add to a room in matrix.
Integration manager¶
Our previous integration manager at dimension.mbot.ethz.ch is retired,
because the upstream project has been archived.
Please use commands/invite/kick as shown below.
Bots & bridges¶
Widgets¶
A widget is an external web application that is embedded into your room as an iframe. Any website could be embedded as a custom widget, although sometimes it is restricted by security settings.
To add a custom widget, type /addwidget <url>.
