Federation & Bridges

Decentralize communication with Federation

Enhance secure communication between Rocket.Chat and any Matrix-compatible applications. Avoid having to sign up on multiple servers by using a federated network of Rocket.Chat servers for your communication needs.

Unlimited messaging

Create 1:1 federated DMs, multi-user DMs, and public and private channels to communicate with other federation-enabled servers.

Productive communication

Securely send and receive attachments such as files, audio and video messages, edit and delete messages.

Enhanced interactivity

Mention internal and external users in federated channels to draw their attention, and benefit from the user’s typing indicator.

Advanced collaboration

Search and join public channels on the federated network. Invite external users to federated rooms, and have threaded discussions.

Secure connections

Define user permissions inside federated rooms, allow/block specific domains/IPs to communicate with your Matrix homeserver.

A platform that prioritizes collaboration over vendor choices

Keep working on your preferred platform, while staying connected with others. Break down silos with integrated communication, and eliminate the need to switch platforms.

Bridging the gaps with secure, cross-platform messaging

Eliminate the need to install or juggle tools by securely connecting users and conversations across platforms.

Matrix Bridge

Set your team free from the challenges of using various communication tools. Provide secure, interoperable, and decentralized real-time communication with any Matrix-compatible applications.

MS Teams Bridge

Connect users and channels on both platforms — allow them to send messages from their preferred app. Streamline communication on both platforms to boost your team’s productivity.

Slack Bridge

Consolidate conversations by messaging Slack users directly from Rocket.Chat without having to install it. Synchronize data and messages between both platforms, ensuring no information falls through the cracks.

Customers using Rocket.Chat for secure external collaboration

Audi

“Slack wasn’t a real alternative for us at that time, because it was SaaS. For data privacy concerns, we needed something that we could host ourselves.”

City of Cologne

“...it’s secure, open source, and can be operated on-premise. The performance of Rocket.Chat over the years convinced us to migrate from the Community to Enterprise edition”

Mobility 4 Public Safety

"We needed a highly secure messaging platform to communicate across US government agencies. Rocket.Chat met all of our requirements."

KingHost

"It seems crazy to imagine the long email threads we had before Rocket.Chat. The platform quickly became our primary communication hub to centralize team collaboration and get things done."
