What?

An Matrix<->Facebook chat bridge for receiving and sending Facebook chat messages with Matrix-client.

Set up

There are two flavours of this bridge, here are their main differences:

@facebookbot

Uses facebook.com, requires user to have activated Facebook account, but works without any additional software needed at setup time.

@messengerbot

Uses messenger.com, allows user to have deactivated Facebook account and still use Facebook Messenger, but needs Messenger phone application at least once to succeed.

Logging in

  • Open chat with either @messengerbot:hacklab.fi or @facebookbot:hacklab.fi based on your flavour of bot
  • Send login
  • Follow any instructions bot gives.
  • Recent chats should now get portals automatically. Other chats will get portals as you receive messages.

Double puppeting

For hacklab.fi homeserver users this bridge does double-puppeting automatically.
