How to get server to send messages via Matrix about matrix-docker-ansible-deploy HOT 1 CLOSED

I got it working.

I registered a new user for the bot as usual, then logged into Element manually and created and joined the bot to a notification room (not encrypted - I don't think it'd work in an encrypted room although I didn't test), then used the info from here to get the access token, then created a bash script to send messages:

#!/bin/bash


# info at https://gist.github.com/RickCogley/69f430d4418ae5498e8febab44d241c9
if [ ! -z "$1" ] ; then
        curl -XPOST -d '{"msgtype":"m.text", "body":"'"$1"'"}' 'https://matrix.myserver.org/_matrix/client/r0/rooms/!roomcode:myserver.org/send/m.room.message?access_token=secretcode' \
                && echo sent
else
        echo "First argument needs to be message to send."
fi

Note that the room name does not have the matrix. prefix.
