Matrix
· #116 most-usedOpen-protocol messaging your agents actually control
Matrix is an open, federated protocol for real-time encrypted messaging — used by governments, enterprises, and communities that refuse to cede their communication infrastructure to a single vendor. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can create rooms on demand, post rich messages, monitor conversations for keywords, manage members across your entire homeserver, and react to live room events — all without a SaaS middleman reading your messages.
Eliminates manual work. Agents handle room creation, member management, message routing, and digest generation that would otherwise require manual homeserver administration and client-side copy-paste.
What your Matrix agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Matrix × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Encrypted support room, open in 60 seconds
When a customer emails a critical issue, your agent creates a dedicated end-to-end-encrypted Matrix room, posts the full email thread as context, invites the assigned CSM and the customer's primary contact, and drops a kickoff calendar event — the customer moves from inbox to a secure, staffed support channel before the CSM has finished reading the ticket. Every message is end-to-end encrypted by default. No shared Slack channel, no forwarding chains, no context loss.
Time saved for your team — every week, on autopilot

How to plug Matrix into Actionist
Pick the connection method that suits your environment.
The fastest path to Matrix. Install the Matrix MCP server once; the agent connects through a permissioned access-token handshake, giving it full read/write access to your homeserver's rooms with zero ongoing credential management.
Find Matrix in the Apps library and click Connect. MCP is selected by default.
Enter your Matrix access token and homeserver URL (e.g. https://matrix.org). The token is tied to your Matrix account — find it in your client under Settings → Help & About → Access Token, or generate one via the Matrix REST API.
Actionist runs a read-only call to verify the handshake. You're ready.
