📨🚕 can route notifications via the Matrix network, as private messages or channel posts.

To forward notifications via Matrix, simply select the “Matrix” target and add the room alias or ID as “Destination”.

You can find the room alias/ID e.g. by logging into app.element.io with your account, opening the room (whether it’s a private conversation or an actual chat room) and checking the browser URL, that should show something like:

https://app.element.io/#/room/#myroom:matrix.org

… in which case #myroom:matrix.org is your room alias, or:

https://app.element.io/#/room/!xYzABcDEFGHijkLmNO:matrix.org

… in which case !xYzABcDEFGHijkLmNO:matrix.org is your room ID.

Private Messages

If you want 📨🚕 to notify you in a private message, you have to first create a dedicated room/conversation with the user @msgtaxi:matrix.org by e.g. using the “Search” feature on app.element.io to search for the user and click on the result to open a private room with the user. You will see the room ID in the URL bar of your browser, as described above. Enter this ID on 📨🚕 as “Destination” and create the application.

Chat Rooms

If you want 📨🚕 to forward notifications into a chat room, you have to first invite the user @msgtaxi:matrix.org into the room. Then, use the room alias/ID as “Destination” and create the application.

Notes

• Native Matrix E2EE is not supported. The 📨🚕 Matrix account connects using SSL, however it does not support sending natively end-to-end-encrypted messages. You can, however, use the 📨🚕 encryption to encrypt message content, or you can encrypt message content at the source (recommended). Even if 📨🚕 would support native Matrix E2EE it would only be encrypted from the moment the notification leaves the 📨🚕 service.
