Invite external users to your Rocket.Chat server

To invite an external user to a federated DM or channel, use the following syntax to add them as members when creating the room:

@username:server.com
  • @username: The username from the external server
  • (:): A colon character separating the external username and the external server name.
  • server.com: The external server name or domain name

For example, @test_user:matrix.org.

When you successfully invite an external user to a federated room, a local copy of that user is generated within your Rocket.Chat instance. There's no need to use the external user syntax (@username:server.com) to invite them to other rooms in your workspace. Instead, you can simply invite the local user, who appears as a suggestion in the "Add Members" input.

{% hint style="info" %} Once the external user exists and the external server runs, the user will auto-join the room. However, they can choose to decline or accept the invite. {% endhint %}
