Send Typing Notification
matrix.send_typing
ActionChat & messagingconnection required
Calls the Matrix API with the connection's credentials.
Show or clear the account's typing indicator in a room.
Connection
- Required
- Yes — the node will not save without one
- Auth type
- Bearer token
- Providers
- Matrix
- Secret shape
- the account access token, or {"access_token": "…"}
- Config it needs
- base_url, user_id, default_room_id
- Resolved by
- config.connection_id, else node.connection_id
Configuration
4 fields, none required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Constraints | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
room_id The room id, e.g. !AbCdEf:example.org. Falls back to the connection's default room; resolve a #alias:server with matrix.resolve_room_alias. | string | No | — | — | !AbCdEf:example.org |
typing True starts the indicator, false clears it. | boolean | No | true | — | — |
timeout_ms How long the indicator stays up, in milliseconds; only sent when typing is true. | number | No | — | ≥ 0 | — |
user_id Whose indicator to set; defaults to the connection's own account. | string | No | — | — | — |
Example configuration
Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.
{
"room_id": "!AbCdEf:example.org",
"typing": true
}Output
One shape.
result
| Field | Type | Example |
|---|---|---|
room_id The room the indicator was set in. | string | — |
user_id The account the indicator belongs to. | string | — |
typing The state that was set. | boolean | — |
{
"room_id": "",
"typing": false,
"user_id": ""
}Notes
- The connection's base_url is the homeserver (e.g. https://matrix.example.org), not the account's server name; the two differ whenever .well-known delegation is in use.
- Rooms are addressed by room id (!abc:server). Resolve a #alias:server with matrix.resolve_room_alias first, or set a default room on the connection.
See Send Typing Notification run in a workflow.
In a technical demo we add the Matrix connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
