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](https://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.
