Knock

Use /knock #channel to ask the owner of a locked temporary channel to let you in. You can add an optional reason: (up to 100 characters) that is shown to the owner, for example "can I join the movie night?".

Horizon posts a message in the channel's text chat that pings the owner and shows two buttons:

@SomeUser, @Fabi is knocking on your channel: can I join the movie night?

Expires in 5 minutes

Let inDeny

• Let in gives you access to the channel, the same way /trust does. You get a DM once you are let in.
• Deny declines your knock. You get a DM that your knock was denied.

If nobody answers in time, the knock expires and the buttons disappear. By default a knock expires after 5 minutes.

Once the knock is answered or expires, the message is updated and the buttons are removed:

Answering knocks

As the channel owner, click Let in or Deny directly on the knock message. If you missed a message, use /knocks while you are in your channel. It shows all pending knocks with their reason and lets you answer each one from there.
