File contents

BlueBubbles plugin

Use this skill when working on the BlueBubbles channel plugin.

Layout

Extension package: extensions/bluebubbles/ (entry: index.ts).
Channel implementation: extensions/bluebubbles/src/channel.ts.
Webhook handling: extensions/bluebubbles/src/monitor.ts (register via api.registerHttpHandler).
REST helpers: extensions/bluebubbles/src/send.ts + extensions/bluebubbles/src/probe.ts.
Runtime bridge: extensions/bluebubbles/src/runtime.ts (set via api.runtime).
Catalog entry for onboarding: src/channels/plugins/catalog.ts.

Internal helpers (use these, not raw API calls)

probeBlueBubbles in extensions/bluebubbles/src/probe.ts for health checks.
sendMessageBlueBubbles in extensions/bluebubbles/src/send.ts for text delivery.
resolveChatGuidForTarget in extensions/bluebubbles/src/send.ts for chat lookup.
sendBlueBubblesReaction in extensions/bluebubbles/src/reactions.ts for tapbacks.
sendBlueBubblesTyping + markBlueBubblesChatRead in extensions/bluebubbles/src/chat.ts.
downloadBlueBubblesAttachment in extensions/bluebubbles/src/attachments.ts for inbound media.
buildBlueBubblesApiUrl + blueBubblesFetchWithTimeout in extensions/bluebubbles/src/types.ts for shared REST plumbing.

Webhooks

BlueBubbles posts JSON to the gateway HTTP server.
Normalize sender/chat IDs defensively (payloads vary by version).
Skip messages marked as from self.
Route into core reply pipeline via the plugin runtime (api.runtime) and clawdbot/plugin-sdk helpers.
For attachments/stickers, use <media:...> placeholders when text is empty and attach media paths via MediaUrl(s) in the inbound context.

Config (core)

channels.bluebubbles.serverUrl (base URL), channels.bluebubbles.password, channels.bluebubbles.webhookPath.
Action gating: channels.bluebubbles.actions.reactions (default true).

Message tool notes

Reactions: The react action requires a target (phone number or chat identifier) in addition to messageId. Example: action=react target=+15551234567 messageId=ABC123 emoji=❤️
