1: Create a bot account
2: Add it to jfa-go

Alternate method

The Matrix bot uses a normal account, so you can create it however you choose. If you already have an account made for the bot, skip step 1.

1: Create a bot account

Visit app.element.io, and press "Create account".

2: Add it to jfa-go

Go to Settings and press the "+" button next to Matrix. If you can't see it, make sure messages/notifications are enabled, and matrix is disabled. If you already have an access token, enable matrix and fill in the details yourself.

Fill in the:

Home server address (If you used the default on element.io, this will be https://matrix.org.
Username (@<your username>:<your homeserver>), for example, @jfa-bot:matrix.org.
Password

then press submit. The app will restart and the page will refresh. Matrix should now be enabled.

Alternate method

If adding your account through the wizard in jfa-go doesn't work, you can get the required access token yourself.

Login to the account through element.io.
Click the dropdown next to your username on the top left and press "All settings".
Select "Help & About" on the right, and scroll down to the Advanced section.
Click the dropdown next to "Access token", and copy the token.
In jfa-go, go to Settings > Matrix. Enable it, and paste the access token into the token box. Add your home server and user ID, then apply.
