Use Element in Okou

Use Element Web, Element Desktop, or an Element deployment with a Matrix homeserver to inspect rooms and messages, search room events, read profiles, and manage Matrix room data through the Client-Server API.

Once connected, supported Element actions can become steps in a reusable workflow alongside the other services your team uses. Run the workflow once, on a schedule, or when an event starts it.

What you can do with Element

  • Read homeserver discovery, capabilities, and version information.
  • Read the authenticated session and available login metadata.
  • Read account identifiers, third-party identifiers, and registration availability.
  • Read administrator-visible user account state.
  • Read the account's devices and device details.
  • Read room relationships, hierarchy, threads, and room discovery metadata.
  • Read room events, timelines, state, sync data, and event filters.
  • Read media configuration, previews, thumbnails, and deprecated media endpoints.
