 Modules can modify the `request_content` (by e.g. adding events to its `initial_state`),
 or deny the room's creation by raising a `module_api.errors.SynapseError`.
 
+#### Presence router callbacks
+
+Presence router callbacks allow module developers to specify additional users (local or remote)
+to receive certain presence updates from local users. Presence router callbacks can be 
+registered using the module API's `register_presence_router_callbacks` method.
+
+The available presence router callbacks are:
+
+```python 
+async def get_users_for_states(
+    self,
+    state_updates: Iterable["synapse.api.UserPresenceState"],
+) -> Dict[str, Set["synapse.api.UserPresenceState"]]:
+```
+**Requires** `get_interested_users` to also be registered
+
+Called when processing updates to the presence state of one or more users. This callback can
+be used to instruct the server to forward that presence state to specific users. The module
+must return a dictionary that maps from Matrix user IDs (which can be local or remote) to the
+`UserPresenceState` changes that they should be forwarded.
+
+Synapse will then attempt to send the specified presence updates to each user when possible.
+
+```python
+async def get_interested_users(
+        self, 
+        user_id: str
+) -> Union[Set[str], "synapse.module_api.PRESENCE_ALL_USERS"]
+```
+**Requires** `get_users_for_states` to also be registered
+
+Called when determining which users someone should be able to see the presence state of. This
+callback should return complementary results to `get_users_for_state` or the presence information 
+may not be properly forwarded.
+
+The callback is given the Matrix user ID for a local user that is requesting presence data and
+should return the Matrix user IDs of the users whose presence state they are allowed to
+query. The returned users can be local or remote. 
+
+Alternatively the callback can return `synapse.module_api.PRESENCE_ALL_USERS`
+to indicate that the user should receive updates from all known users.
+
+For example, if the user `@alice:example.org` is passed to this method, and the Set 
+`{"@bob:example.com", "@charlie:somewhere.org"}` is returned, this signifies that Alice 
+should receive presence updates sent by Bob and Charlie, regardless of whether these users 
+share a room.
