title: m.relates_to
description: |-
Describes the relationship of an event to its parent. This is contained
within the event's `content` alongside other fields for the relevant event type.
example: {
# We deliberately "break" the example by including the top-level field so it renders
# sensibly for readers of the spec.
"m.relates_to": {
"rel_type": "org.example.relationship",
"event_id": "$an_event"
}
}
properties:
rel_type:
type: string
description: |-
The namespaced relationship type. Values must use the
[Common Namespaced Identifier Grammar](/appendices/#common-namespaced-identifier-grammar).
The relationship type determines how clients should perceive the event, and in what
context. Some relationship types are processed server-side for "bundling", though not
all relationships require such behaviour. For example, an [`m.thread` relationship type](/client-server-api/#threading)
denotes that the event is part of a "thread" of messages and should be rendered as
such.
event_id:
type: string
description: The event ID of the event that this event relates to.
required: ['rel_type', 'event_id']
