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:
```bash
pip install matrix-supportbot
```
2. Create a `config.yaml` file with your Matrix credentials and operator room ID:
```yaml
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:
```bash
supportbot
```
The bot will log in to your Matrix server, join the operator room, and start listening for commands and invites.
