Feature Request: Read/Deliver Receipts To/From Matrix

[marinnamru]

This is a feature request for the ability to send/receive read/deliver receipts to/from Matrix.

[8go]

Please explain in more detail how this would work, what arguments you provide as input, what information would come back in the reply. How many actions are this?

• get read receipt # get event-id of the last event that was marked read?
• set to fully read # mark everything as read in this room? in this thread?
• what else?

I think one can do this in matrix-commander by using --event and an event-template. See https://github.com/8go/matrix-commander/tree/master/event-templates.

What is the MSC or what are the MSCs?

What does the event for e.g. get read-recept look like, in JSON?

Here is an example event for add reaction

{
  "__comment__": "event template for MSC2677, annotations and reactions",
  "__documentation__": "see https://github.com/uhoreg/matrix-doc/blob/aggregations-reactions/proposals/2677-reactions.md and https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/2677",
  "type": "m.reaction",
  "content": {
    "m.relates_to": {
      "rel_type": "m.annotation",
      "event_id": "%s",
      "key": "%s"
    }
  }
}
