  136. <h1 id="third-party-rules-callbacks"><a class="header" href="#third-party-rules-callbacks">Third party rules callbacks</a></h1>
  137. <p>Third party rules callbacks allow module developers to add extra checks to verify the
  138. validity of incoming events. Third party event rules callbacks can be registered using
  139. the module API's <code>register_third_party_rules_callbacks</code> method.</p>
  140. <h2 id="callbacks"><a class="header" href="#callbacks">Callbacks</a></h2>
  141. <p>The available third party rules callbacks are:</p>
  142. <h3 id="check_event_allowed"><a class="header" href="#check_event_allowed"><code>check_event_allowed</code></a></h3>
  143. <pre><code class="language-python">async def check_event_allowed(
  144. event: &quot;synapse.events.EventBase&quot;,
  145. state_events: &quot;synapse.types.StateMap&quot;,
  146. ) -&gt; Tuple[bool, Optional[dict]]
  147. </code></pre>
  148. <p><strong><span style="color:red">
  149. This callback is very experimental and can and will break without notice. Module developers
  150. are encouraged to implement <code>check_event_for_spam</code> from the spam checker category instead.
  151. </span></strong></p>
  152. <p>Called when processing any incoming event, with the event and a <code>StateMap</code>
  153. representing the current state of the room the event is being sent into. A <code>StateMap</code> is
  154. a dictionary that maps tuples containing an event type and a state key to the
  155. corresponding state event. For example retrieving the room's <code>m.room.create</code> event from
  156. the <code>state_events</code> argument would look like this: <code>state_events.get((&quot;m.room.create&quot;, &quot;&quot;))</code>.
  157. The module must return a boolean indicating whether the event can be allowed.</p>
  158. <p>Note that this callback function processes incoming events coming via federation
  159. traffic (on top of client traffic). This means denying an event might cause the local
  160. copy of the room's history to diverge from that of remote servers. This may cause
  161. federation issues in the room. It is strongly recommended to only deny events using this
  162. callback function if the sender is a local user, or in a private federation in which all
  163. servers are using the same module, with the same configuration.</p>
  164. <p>If the boolean returned by the module is <code>True</code>, it may also tell Synapse to replace the
  165. event with new data by returning the new event's data as a dictionary. In order to do
  166. that, it is recommended the module calls <code>event.get_dict()</code> to get the current event as a
  167. dictionary, and modify the returned dictionary accordingly.</p>
  168. <p>Note that replacing the event only works for events sent by local users, not for events
  169. received over federation.</p>
  170. <h3 id="on_create_room"><a class="header" href="#on_create_room"><code>on_create_room</code></a></h3>

  176. </code></pre>
  177. <p>Called when processing a room creation request, with the <code>Requester</code> object for the user
  178. performing the request, a dictionary representing the room creation request's JSON body
  179. (see <a href="https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/latest#post-matrix-client-r0-createroom">the spec</a>
  180. for a list of possible parameters), and a boolean indicating whether the user performing
  181. the request is a server admin.</p>
  182. <p>Modules can modify the <code>request_content</code> (by e.g. adding events to its <code>initial_state</code>),
  183. or deny the room's creation by raising a <code>module_api.errors.SynapseError</code>.</p>
  184. <h3 id="check_threepid_can_be_invited"><a class="header" href="#check_threepid_can_be_invited"><code>check_threepid_can_be_invited</code></a></h3>

  191. <p>Called when processing an invite via a third-party identifier (i.e. email or phone number).
  192. The module must return a boolean indicating whether the invite can go through.</p>
  193. <h3 id="check_visibility_can_be_modified"><a class="header" href="#check_visibility_can_be_modified"><code>check_visibility_can_be_modified</code></a></h3>

  200. <p>Called when changing the visibility of a room in the local public room directory. The
