Third Party Networks
====================

.. _module:third-party-networks:

Application services can provide access to third party networks via bridging.
This allows Matrix users to communicate with users on other communication
platforms, with messages ferried back and forth by the application service. A
single application service may bridge multiple third party networks, and many
individual locations within those networks. A single third party network
location may be bridged to multiple Matrix rooms.

Third Party Lookups
-------------------

A client may wish to provide a rich interface for joining third party
locations and connecting with third party users. Information necessary for
such an interface is provided by third party lookups.
