See that project's [documentation](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-auto-accept-invite) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
In short, it automatically accepts room invites. You can specify that only 1:1 room invites are auto-accepted. Defaults to false if not specified.

If you decide that you'd like to let this playbook install it for you, you need a configuration like this:
**NOTE**: Synapse [v1.109.0](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/releases/tag/v1.109.0), the same feature [has been merged](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/17147) into Synapse (see the [Native alternative](#native-alternative) section below). You'd better use the native feature, instead of the [synapse-auto-invite-accept](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-auto-accept-invite) 3rd party module.


## Configuration

If you decide that you'd like to let this playbook install the [synapse-auto-invite-accept](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-auto-accept-invite module for you, you need a configuration like this:

```yaml
matrix_synapse_ext_synapse_auto_accept_invite_enabled: true

matrix_synapse_ext_synapse_auto_accept_invite_accept_invites_only_direct_messages: true
```
## Synapse worker deployments
### Synapse worker deployments
In a [workerized Synapse deployment](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/c9a842147e09647c355799ca024d65a5de66b099/docs/configuring-playbook-synapse.md#load-balancing-with-workers) it is possible to run this module on a worker to reduce the load on the main process (Default is 'null'). For example add this to your configuration:

For example, add this to your configuration:

```

## Native alternative

Since Synapse [v1.109.0](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/releases/tag/v1.109.0), the functionality provided by the [synapse-auto-invite-accept](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-auto-accept-invite) 3rd party module [has been made](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/17147) part of Synapse.

Here's example configuration for using the **native** Synapse feature:

```yml
matrix_synapse_auto_accept_invites_enabled: true
# Default settings below. Uncomment and adjust if necessary.
# matrix_synapse_auto_accept_invites_only_for_direct_messages: false
# matrix_synapse_auto_accept_invites_only_from_local_users: false
# If workers are enabled, you may delegate usage to a specific worker.
# matrix_synapse_auto_accept_invites_worker_to_run_on: 'matrix-synapse-worker-generic-0'

- name: Fail when auto-accept-invite enabled as a native feature and a module at the same time
ansible.builtin.fail:
msg: >-
Your configuration enables the auto-accept invites feature both as a native Synapse feature (`matrix_synapse_auto_accept_invites_enabled`) and a 3rd party module (`matrix_synapse_ext_synapse_auto_accept_invite_enabled`).
This is unnecessary, since they both do the same and the native feature is built on top of the 3rd party module anyway.
Enabling both at the same time will lead to issues.
We recommend leaving `matrix_synapse_auto_accept_invites_enabled` in your configuration and removing `matrix_synapse_ext_synapse_auto_accept_invite_enabled`.
