+# MSC4309: Finalised delayed events on sync
+
+## Proposal
+
+A new optional key, `delayed_events_finalised`, is added to the response body of `/sync`. The shape of its
+value is equivalent to that of the response body of `GET /_matrix/client/v1/delayed_events/finalised`.
+It is an array of the syncing user's delayed events that were sent or failed to be sent after the
+`since` timestamp parameter of the associated `/sync` request, or all of them for full `/sync`s.
+When no such delayed events exist, the `delayed_events_finalised` key is absent from the `/sync` response.
+
+A new key, `delayed_events_finalised`, is defined for `POST /_matrix/client/v3/user/{userId}/filter`.
+Its value is a boolean which, if set to `false`, causes an associated `/sync` response to exclude
+any `delayed_events_finalised` key it may have otherwise included.
+
+The only delayed events included in `delayed_events_finalised` are ones that have been retained by the homeserver,
+as per the same retention policies as for the `GET /_matrix/client/v1/delayed_events/delayed_events_finalised` endpoint.
+Additionally, a homeserver may discard finalised delayed events that have been returned by a `/sync` response.
+
+The `delayed_events_finalised` key is added to the request bodies of the appservice API `/transactions` endpoint.
+It has the same content as the key for `/sync`, and contains all of the target appservice's delayed events
+that were sent or failed to be sent since the previous transaction.
+
+## Potential issues
+
+Adding a new section to sync might be a quiet large task for homeservers for a feature that is not used a lot.
+
+## Alternatives
+
+The current `GET` finalized delayed events endpoint can already be used to fetch finalized events.
+Only if an unexpected error occurs the client is blind and an update on sync would be helpful.
+
+The client can schedule a call to the `GET` delayed events endpoint once it expects the delayed event to have been sent.
+This would allow the client to know if it was successful a bit later.
+
+## Security considerations
+
+This returns the exact same data as the `GET` finalized delayed events endpoint.
+
+## Unstable prefix
+
+`org.matrix.msc4140.finalised_delayed_events` should be used as keys of /sync, /filter instead of `finalised_delayed_events`.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+This MSC builds on [MSC4140](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4140).
