<h1 id="spam-checker-callbacks"><a class="header" href="#spam-checker-callbacks">Spam checker callbacks</a></h1>
<p>Spam checker callbacks allow module developers to implement spam mitigation actions for
Synapse instances. Spam checker callbacks can be registered using the module API's
<code>register_spam_checker_callbacks</code> method.</p>
<h2 id="callbacks"><a class="header" href="#callbacks">Callbacks</a></h2>
<p>The available spam checker callbacks are:</p>
<h3 id="check_event_for_spam"><a class="header" href="#check_event_for_spam"><code>check_event_for_spam</code></a></h3>
<p><em>First introduced in Synapse v1.37.0</em></p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def check_event_for_spam(event: "synapse.events.EventBase") -> Union[bool, str]
</code></pre>
<p>Called when receiving an event from a client or via federation. The module can return
either a <code>bool</code> to indicate whether the event must be rejected because of spam, or a <code>str</code>
to indicate the event must be rejected because of spam and to give a rejection reason to
forward to clients.</p>
<p>If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
callback returns <code>False</code>, Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the first
callback that does not return <code>False</code> will be used. If this happens, Synapse will not call
any of the subsequent implementations of this callback.</p>
<h3 id="user_may_join_room"><a class="header" href="#user_may_join_room"><code>user_may_join_room</code></a></h3>
<p><em>First introduced in Synapse v1.37.0</em></p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def user_may_join_room(user: str, room: str, is_invited: bool) -> bool
</code></pre>
<p>Called when a user is trying to join a room. The module must return a <code>bool</code> to indicate
whether the user can join the room. The user is represented by their Matrix user ID (e.g.
<code>@alice:example.com</code>) and the room is represented by its Matrix ID (e.g.
<code>!room:example.com</code>). The module is also given a boolean to indicate whether the user
currently has a pending invite in the room.</p>
<p>This callback isn't called if the join is performed by a server administrator, or in the
context of a room creation.</p>
<p>If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
callback returns <code>True</code>, Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the first
callback that does not return <code>True</code> will be used. If this happens, Synapse will not call
any of the subsequent implementations of this callback.</p>
<h3 id="user_may_invite"><a class="header" href="#user_may_invite"><code>user_may_invite</code></a></h3>
<p><em>First introduced in Synapse v1.37.0</em></p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def user_may_invite(inviter: str, invitee: str, room_id: str) -> bool
</code></pre>
<p>Called when processing an invitation. The module must return a <code>bool</code> indicating whether
the inviter can invite the invitee to the given room. Both inviter and invitee are
represented by their Matrix user ID (e.g. <code>@alice:example.com</code>).</p>
<p>If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
callback returns <code>True</code>, Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the first

<p><em>First introduced in Synapse v1.45.0</em></p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def user_may_send_3pid_invite(
inviter: str,
medium: str,
address: str,
room_id: str,
) -> bool
</code></pre>
<p>Called when processing an invitation using a third-party identifier (also called a 3PID,
e.g. an email address or a phone number). The module must return a <code>bool</code> indicating
whether the inviter can invite the invitee to the given room.</p>
<p>The inviter is represented by their Matrix user ID (e.g. <code>@alice:example.com</code>), and the
invitee is represented by its medium (e.g. "email") and its address
(e.g. <code>alice@example.com</code>). See <a href="https://matrix.org/docs/spec/appendices#pid-types">the Matrix specification</a>
for more information regarding third-party identifiers.</p>
<p>For example, a call to this callback to send an invitation to the email address
<code>alice@example.com</code> would look like this:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python">await user_may_send_3pid_invite(
"@bob:example.com", # The inviter's user ID
"email", # The medium of the 3PID to invite
"alice@example.com", # The address of the 3PID to invite
"!some_room:example.com", # The ID of the room to send the invite into
)
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: If the third-party identifier is already associated with a matrix user ID,
<a href="#user_may_invite"><code>user_may_invite</code></a> will be used instead.</p>
<p>If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
callback returns <code>True</code>, Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the first
callback that does not return <code>True</code> will be used. If this happens, Synapse will not call
any of the subsequent implementations of this callback.</p>

<p><em>First introduced in Synapse v1.37.0</em></p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def user_may_create_room(user: str) -> bool
</code></pre>
<p>Called when processing a room creation request. The module must return a <code>bool</code> indicating
whether the given user (represented by their Matrix user ID) is allowed to create a room.</p>
<p>If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a

<p>Called when trying to associate an alias with an existing room. The module must return a
<code>bool</code> indicating whether the given user (represented by their Matrix user ID) is allowed
to set the given alias.</p>
<p>If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
callback returns <code>True</code>, Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the first

<p>Called when trying to publish a room to the homeserver's public rooms directory. The
module must return a <code>bool</code> indicating whether the given user (represented by their
Matrix user ID) is allowed to publish the given room.</p>
<p>If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
callback returns <code>True</code>, Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the first

<p><em>First introduced in Synapse v1.37.0</em></p>
<pre><code class="language-python">async def check_username_for_spam(user_profile: Dict[str, str]) -> bool
</code></pre>
<p>Called when computing search results in the user directory. The module must return a
<code>bool</code> indicating whether the given user profile can appear in search results. The profile
is represented as a dictionary with the following keys:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>user_id</code>: The Matrix ID for this user.</li>
<li><code>display_name</code>: The user's display name.</li>
<li><code>avatar_url</code>: The <code>mxc://</code> URL to the user's avatar.</li>
</ul>
<p>The module is given a copy of the original dictionary, so modifying it from within the
module cannot modify a user's profile when included in user directory search results.</p>
<p>If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
callback returns <code>False</code>, Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the first
callback that does not return <code>False</code> will be used. If this happens, Synapse will not call
any of the subsequent implementations of this callback.</p>

<p>Called when registering a new user. The module must return a <code>RegistrationBehaviour</code>
indicating whether the registration can go through or must be denied, or whether the user
may be allowed to register but will be shadow banned.</p>
<p>The arguments passed to this callback are:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>email_threepid</code>: The email address used for registering, if any.</li>
<li><code>username</code>: The username the user would like to register. Can be <code>None</code>, meaning that
Synapse will generate one later.</li>
<li><code>request_info</code>: A collection of tuples, which first item is a user agent, and which
second item is an IP address. These user agents and IP addresses are the ones that were
used during the registration process.</li>
<li><code>auth_provider_id</code>: The identifier of the SSO authentication provider, if any.</li>
</ul>
