Invite People to your space or room¶
The New Helmholtz Matrix Service and this Documentation Are in a Ramp-up Phase
We plan to offer Helmholtz Matrix from April 2026.
- Please contact us if you encounter any errors.
- Helmholtz members are also invited to give us some structured feedback here.
- From time to time, you may see a red “Offline” notification message. This is because during ramp-up phase of the service, we may need to deploy changes to the server without prior announcement. Don’t reload, your messages will be sent with few seconds delay.
If you know the correct Matrix ID of the user(s), or the person is already part of any room or space shared with you¶
