Upgrade Room
matrix.upgrade_room
ActionChat & messagingconnection required
Calls the Matrix API with the connection's credentials.
Replace a room with a new one on a newer room version.
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
2 fields, 2 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 — resolve a #alias:server with matrix.resolve_room_alias first. | string | Yes | — | — | !AbCdEf:example.org |
new_version The room version to upgrade to, e.g. '11'. | string | Yes | — | — | 11 |
Example configuration
Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.
{
"new_version": "11",
"room_id": "!AbCdEf:example.org"
}Output
One shape.
result
| Field | Type | Example |
|---|---|---|
replacement_room The id of the room that replaces this one. | string | — |
room_id The old room, now tombstoned. | string | — |
{
"replacement_room": "",
"room_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.
- The old room is kept and tombstoned; members are not moved for you — they follow the tombstone when their client opens the room.
See Upgrade Room 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.
