Service Bots

Hookshot supports additional bot users called "service bots" which handle a particular connection type (in addition to the default bot user which can handle any connection type). These bots can coexist in a room, each handling a different service.

Configuration

Service bots can be given a different localpart, display name, avatar, and command prefix.
They will only handle connections for the specified service, which can be one of:

For example with this configuration:

serviceBots:
  - localpart: feeds
    displayname: Feeds
    avatar: mxc://half-shot.uk/2876e89ccade4cb615e210c458e2a7a6883fe17d
    prefix: "!feeds"
    service: feeds

There will be a bot user @feeds:example.com which responds to commands prefixed with !feeds, and only handles feeds connections.
