Acceptance of the knock happens out of band from this API, meaning that the client will have to watch for updates regarding the acceptance/rejection of the knock. If the room history settings allow, the user will still be able to see history of the room while being in the "knock" state. The user will have to accept the invitation to join the room (acceptance of knock) to see messages reliably. See the `/join` endpoints for more information about history visibility to the user. The knock will appear as an entry in the response of the [`/sync`](/client-server-api/#get_matrixclientv3sync) API. operationId: knockRoom security: - accessToken: [] parameters: - in: path name: roomIdOrAlias description: The room identifier or alias to knock upon. required: true example: "#monkeys:matrix.org" schema: type: string - in: query name: server_name description: |- The servers to attempt to knock on the room through.
