Matrix Support Bot

Support Private.coffee!

Matrix Support Bot is a support ticket bot for the Matrix protocol built using the matrix-nio library. The bot allows users to open support tickets and communicate with support operators in a structured manner. Operators can manage tickets and relay messages between customer-facing and operator-facing rooms.

Features

  • The bot's state is stored in a Matrix room, so no external database is required.
  • Users can invite the bot to a direct message (DM) and receive instructions on how to open a support ticket.
  • Users can open support tickets using the !supportbot openticket command.
  • The bot creates a new customer-facing room for each ticket and invites the user to it.
  • Operators are notified of new tickets in a shared operator room.
  • Operators can join operator-facing rooms for each ticket and communicate with customers.
  • Messages between customer-facing and operator-facing rooms are relayed by the bot.
  • Operators can close tickets and list open tickets using bot commands.
  • Supports relaying of different message types, including text and media.

Commands

User Commands

  • !supportbot openticket - Opens a new support ticket and creates a customer-facing room.

Operator Commands

  • !supportbot invite <ticket_id> - Invites an operator to the operator-facing room for the specified ticket.
  • !supportbot close <ticket_id> - Closes the specified ticket.
  • !supportbot list - Lists all open tickets.

Installation

  1. Install from PyPI:

    pip install matrix-supportbot
    
  2. Create a config.yaml file with your Matrix credentials and operator room ID:

    homeserver: "https://homeserver.example"
    username: "your_username"
    password: "your_password"
    operator_room_id: "!your_operator_room_id:homeserver.example"
    

Usage

Run the bot with the following command:

supportbot

The bot will log in to your Matrix server, join the operator room, and start listening for commands and invites.
