BlueBubbles

Status: bundled plugin that talks to the BlueBubbles macOS server over HTTP. Recommended for iMessage integration due to its richer API and easier setup compared to the legacy imsg channel.

Bundled plugin

Current OpenClaw releases bundle BlueBubbles, so normal packaged builds do not need a separate openclaw plugins install step.

Overview

Runs on macOS via the BlueBubbles helper app (bluebubbles.app).
Recommended/tested: macOS Sequoia (15). macOS Tahoe (26) works; edit is currently broken on Tahoe, and group icon updates may report success but not sync.
OpenClaw talks to it through its REST API (GET /api/v1/ping, POST /message/text, POST /chat/:id/*).
Incoming messages arrive via webhooks; outgoing replies, typing indicators, read receipts, and tapbacks are REST calls.
Attachments and stickers are ingested as inbound media (and surfaced to the agent when possible).
Auto-TTS replies that synthesize MP3 or CAF audio are delivered as iMessage voice memo bubbles instead of plain file attachments.
Pairing/allowlist works the same way as other channels (/channels/pairing etc) with channels.bluebubbles.allowFrom + pairing codes.
Reactions are surfaced as system events just like Slack/Telegram so agents can “mention” them before replying.
Advanced features: edit, unsend, reply threading, message effects, group management.

Quick start

Install the BlueBubbles server on your Mac (follow the instructions at bluebubbles.app/install).
In the BlueBubbles config, enable the web API and set a password.

Run openclaw onboard and select BlueBubbles, or configure manually:

{
  channels: {
    bluebubbles: {
      enabled: true,
      serverUrl: "http://192.168.1.100:1234",
      password: "example-password",
      webhookPath: "/bluebubbles-webhook",
    },
  },
}

Point BlueBubbles webhooks to your gateway (example: https://your-gateway-host:3000/bluebubbles-webhook?password=<password>).
Start the gateway; it will register the webhook handler and start pairing.

Security note:

Always set a webhook password.
Webhook authentication is always required. OpenClaw rejects BlueBubbles webhook requests unless they include a password/guid that matches channels.bluebubbles.password (for example ?password=<password> or x-password), regardless of loopback/proxy topology.
Password authentication is checked before reading/parsing full webhook bodies.

Keeping Messages.app alive (VM / headless setups)

Some macOS VM / always-on setups can end up with Messages.app going “idle” (incoming events stop until the app is opened/foregrounded). A simple workaround is to poke Messages every 5 minutes using an AppleScript + LaunchAgent.

1) Save the AppleScript

Save this as:

~/Scripts/poke-messages.scpt

Example script (non-interactive; does not steal focus):

try
  tell application "Messages"
    if not running then
      launch
    end if

    -- Touch the scripting interface to keep the process responsive.
    set _chatCount to (count of chats)
  end tell
on error
  -- Ignore transient failures (first-run prompts, locked session, etc).
end try

2) Install a LaunchAgent

Save this as:

~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.user.poke-messages.plist

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
  <dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>com.user.poke-messages</string>

    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
      <string>/bin/bash</string>
      <string>-lc</string>
      <string>/usr/bin/osascript &quot;$HOME/Scripts/poke-messages.scpt&quot;</string>
    </array>

    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>

    <key>StartInterval</key>
    <integer>300</integer>

    <key>StandardOutPath</key>
    <string>/tmp/poke-messages.log</string>
    <key>StandardErrorPath</key>
    <string>/tmp/poke-messages.err</string>
  </dict>
</plist>

Notes:

This runs every 300 seconds and on login.
The first run may trigger macOS Automation prompts (osascript → Messages). Approve them in the same user session that runs the LaunchAgent.

Load it:

launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.user.poke-messages.plist 2>/dev/null || true
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.user.poke-messages.plist

Onboarding

BlueBubbles is available in interactive onboarding:

openclaw onboard

The wizard prompts for:

Server URL (required): BlueBubbles server address (e.g., http://192.168.1.100:1234)
Password (required): API password from BlueBubbles Server settings
Webhook path (optional): Defaults to /bluebubbles-webhook
DM policy: pairing, allowlist, open, or disabled
Allow list: Phone numbers, emails, or chat targets

You can also add BlueBubbles via CLI:

openclaw channels add bluebubbles --http-url http://192.168.1.100:1234 --password <password>

Access control (DMs + groups)

DMs:

Default: channels.bluebubbles.dmPolicy = "pairing".
Unknown senders receive a pairing code; messages are ignored until approved (codes expire after 1 hour).
Approve via:
- openclaw pairing list bluebubbles
- openclaw pairing approve bluebubbles <CODE>
Pairing is the default token exchange. Details: Pairing

Groups:

channels.bluebubbles.groupPolicy = open | allowlist | disabled (default: allowlist).
channels.bluebubbles.groupAllowFrom controls who can trigger in groups when allowlist is set.

Contact name enrichment (macOS, optional)

BlueBubbles group webhooks often only include raw participant addresses. If you want GroupMembers context to show local contact names instead, you can opt in to local Contacts enrichment on macOS:

channels.bluebubbles.enrichGroupParticipantsFromContacts = true enables the lookup. Default: false.
Lookups run only after group access, command authorization, and mention gating have allowed the message through.
Only unnamed phone participants are enriched.
Raw phone numbers remain as the fallback when no local match is found.

{
  channels: {
    bluebubbles: {
      enrichGroupParticipantsFromContacts: true,
    },
  },
}

Mention gating (groups)

BlueBubbles supports mention gating for group chats, matching iMessage/WhatsApp behavior:

Uses agents.list[].groupChat.mentionPatterns (or messages.groupChat.mentionPatterns) to detect mentions.
When requireMention is enabled for a group, the agent only responds when mentioned.
Control commands from authorized senders bypass mention gating.

Per-group configuration:

{
  channels: {
    bluebubbles: {
      groupPolicy: "allowlist",
      groupAllowFrom: ["+15555550123"],
      groups: {
        "*": { requireMention: true }, // default for all groups
        "iMessage;-;chat123": { requireMention: false }, // override for specific group
      },
    },
  },
}

Command gating

Control commands (e.g., /config, /model) require authorization.
Uses allowFrom and groupAllowFrom to determine command authorization.
Authorized senders can run control commands even without mentioning in groups.

Per-group system prompt

Each entry under channels.bluebubbles.groups.* accepts an optional systemPrompt string. The value is injected into the agent’s system prompt on every turn that handles a message in that group, so you can set per-group persona or behavioral rules without editing agent prompts:

{
  channels: {
    bluebubbles: {
      groups: {
        "iMessage;-;chat123": {
          systemPrompt: "Keep responses under 3 sentences. Mirror the group's casual tone.",
        },
      },
    },
  },
}

The key matches whatever BlueBubbles reports as chatGuid / chatIdentifier / numeric chatId for the group, and a "*" wildcard entry provides a default for every group without an exact match (same pattern used by requireMention and per-group tool policies). Exact matches always win over the wildcard. DMs ignore this field; use agent-level or account-level prompt customization instead.

Worked example: threaded replies and tapback reactions (Private API)

With the BlueBubbles Private API enabled, inbound messages arrive with short message IDs (for example [[reply_to:5]]) and the agent can call action=reply to thread into a specific message or action=react to drop a tapback. A per-group systemPrompt is a reliable way to keep the agent choosing the right tool:

{
  channels: {
    bluebubbles: {
      groups: {
        "iMessage;+;chat-family": {
          systemPrompt: [
            "When replying in this group, always call action=reply with the",
            "[[reply_to:N]] messageId from context so your response threads",
            "under the triggering message. Never send a new unlinked message.",
            "",
            "For short acknowledgements ('ok', 'got it', 'on it'), use",
            "action=react with an appropriate tapback emoji (❤️, 👍, 😂, ‼️, ❓)",
            "instead of sending a text reply.",
          ].join(" "),
        },
      },
    },
  },
}

Tapback reactions and threaded replies both require the BlueBubbles Private API; see Advanced actions and Message IDs for the underlying mechanics.

ACP conversation bindings

BlueBubbles chats can be turned into durable ACP workspaces without changing the transport layer. Fast operator flow:

Run /acp spawn codex --bind here inside the DM or allowed group chat.
Future messages in that same BlueBubbles conversation route to the spawned ACP session.
/new and /reset reset the same bound ACP session in place.
/acp close closes the ACP session and removes the binding.

Configured persistent bindings are also supported through top-level bindings[] entries with type: "acp" and match.channel: "bluebubbles". match.peer.id can use any supported BlueBubbles target form:

normalized DM handle such as +15555550123 or user@example.com
chat_id:<id>
chat_guid:<guid>
chat_identifier:<identifier>

For stable group bindings, prefer chat_id:* or chat_identifier:*. Example:

{
  agents: {
    list: [
      {
        id: "codex",
        runtime: {
          type: "acp",
          acp: { agent: "codex", backend: "acpx", mode: "persistent" },
        },
      },
    ],
  },
  bindings: [
    {
      type: "acp",
      agentId: "codex",
      match: {
        channel: "bluebubbles",
        accountId: "default",
        peer: { kind: "dm", id: "+15555550123" },
      },
      acp: { label: "codex-imessage" },
    },
  ],
}

See ACP Agents for shared ACP binding behavior.

Typing + read receipts

Typing indicators: Sent automatically before and during response generation.
Read receipts: Controlled by channels.bluebubbles.sendReadReceipts (default: true).
Typing indicators: OpenClaw sends typing start events; BlueBubbles clears typing automatically on send or timeout (manual stop via DELETE is unreliable).

{
  channels: {
    bluebubbles: {
      sendReadReceipts: false, // disable read receipts
    },
  },
}

Advanced actions

BlueBubbles supports advanced message actions when enabled in config:

{
  channels: {
    bluebubbles: {
      actions: {
        reactions: true, // tapbacks (default: true)
        edit: true, // edit sent messages (macOS 13+, broken on macOS 26 Tahoe)
        unsend: true, // unsend messages (macOS 13+)
        reply: true, // reply threading by message GUID
        sendWithEffect: true, // message effects (slam, loud, etc.)
        renameGroup: true, // rename group chats
        setGroupIcon: true, // set group chat icon/photo (flaky on macOS 26 Tahoe)
        addParticipant: true, // add participants to groups
        removeParticipant: true, // remove participants from groups
        leaveGroup: true, // leave group chats
        sendAttachment: true, // send attachments/media
      },
    },
  },
}

Available actions:

react: Add/remove tapback reactions (messageId, emoji, remove). iMessage’s native tapback set is love, like, dislike, laugh, emphasize, and question. When an agent picks an emoji outside that set (for example 👀), the reaction tool falls back to love so the tapback still renders instead of failing the whole request. Configured ack reactions still validate strictly and error on unknown values.
edit: Edit a sent message (messageId, text)
unsend: Unsend a message (messageId)
reply: Reply to a specific message (messageId, text, to)
sendWithEffect: Send with iMessage effect (text, to, effectId)
renameGroup: Rename a group chat (chatGuid, displayName)
setGroupIcon: Set a group chat’s icon/photo (chatGuid, media) — flaky on macOS 26 Tahoe (API may return success but the icon does not sync).
addParticipant: Add someone to a group (chatGuid, address)
removeParticipant: Remove someone from a group (chatGuid, address)
leaveGroup: Leave a group chat (chatGuid)
upload-file: Send media/files (to, buffer, filename, asVoice)
- Voice memos: set asVoice: true with MP3 or CAF audio to send as an iMessage voice message. BlueBubbles converts MP3 → CAF when sending voice memos.
Legacy alias: sendAttachment still works, but upload-file is the canonical action name.

Message IDs (short vs full)

OpenClaw may surface short message IDs (e.g., 1, 2) to save tokens.

MessageSid / ReplyToId can be short IDs.
MessageSidFull / ReplyToIdFull contain the provider full IDs.
Short IDs are in-memory; they can expire on restart or cache eviction.
Actions accept short or full messageId, but short IDs will error if no longer available.

Use full IDs for durable automations and storage:

Templates: {{MessageSidFull}}, {{ReplyToIdFull}}
Context: MessageSidFull / ReplyToIdFull in inbound payloads

See Configuration for template variables.

Coalescing split-send DMs (command + URL in one composition)

When a user types a command and a URL together in iMessage — e.g. Dump https://example.com/article — Apple splits the send into two separate webhook deliveries:

A text message ("Dump").
A URL-preview balloon ("https://...") with OG-preview images as attachments.

The two webhooks arrive at OpenClaw ~0.8-2.0 s apart on most setups. Without coalescing, the agent receives the command alone on turn 1, replies (often “send me the URL”), and only sees the URL on turn 2 — at which point the command context is already lost. channels.bluebubbles.coalesceSameSenderDms opts a DM into merging consecutive same-sender webhooks into a single agent turn. Group chats continue to key per-message so multi-user turn structure is preserved.

When to enable

Enable when:

You ship skills that expect command + payload in one message (dump, paste, save, queue, etc.).
Your users paste URLs, images, or long content alongside commands.
You can accept the added DM turn latency (see below).

Leave disabled when:

You need minimum command latency for single-word DM triggers.
All your flows are one-shot commands without payload follow-ups.

Enabling

{
  channels: {
    bluebubbles: {
      coalesceSameSenderDms: true, // opt in (default: false)
    },
  },
}

With the flag on and no explicit messages.inbound.byChannel.bluebubbles, the debounce window widens to 2500 ms (the default for non-coalescing is 500 ms). The wider window is required — Apple’s split-send cadence of 0.8-2.0 s does not fit in the tighter default. To tune the window yourself:

{
  messages: {
    inbound: {
      byChannel: {
        // 2500 ms works for most setups; raise to 4000 ms if your Mac is slow
        // or under memory pressure (observed gap can stretch past 2 s then).
        bluebubbles: 2500,
      },
    },
  },
}

Trade-offs

Added latency for DM control commands. With the flag on, DM control-command messages (like Dump, Save, etc.) now wait up to the debounce window before dispatching, in case a payload webhook is coming. Group-chat commands keep instant dispatch.
Merged output is bounded — merged text caps at 4000 chars with an explicit …[truncated] marker; attachments cap at 20; source entries cap at 10 (first-plus-latest retained beyond that). Every source messageId still reaches inbound-dedupe so a later MessagePoller replay of any individual event is recognized as a duplicate.
Opt-in, per-channel. Other channels (Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, …) are unaffected.

Scenarios and what the agent sees

User composes	Apple delivers	Flag off (default)	Flag on + 2500 ms window
`Dump https://example.com` (one send)	2 webhooks ~1 s apart	Two agent turns: “Dump” alone, then URL	One turn: merged text `Dump https://example.com`
`Save this 📎image.jpg caption` (attachment + text)	2 webhooks	Two turns	One turn: text + image
`/status` (standalone command)	1 webhook	Instant dispatch	Wait up to window, then dispatch
URL pasted alone	1 webhook	Instant dispatch	Instant dispatch (only one entry in bucket)
Text + URL sent as two deliberate separate messages, minutes apart	2 webhooks outside window	Two turns	Two turns (window expires between them)
Rapid flood (>10 small DMs inside window)	N webhooks	N turns	One turn, bounded output (first + latest, text/attachment caps applied)

Split-send coalescing troubleshooting

If the flag is on and split-sends still arrive as two turns, check each layer:

Config actually loaded.
```
grep coalesceSameSenderDms ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
```
Then openclaw gateway restart — the flag is read at debouncer-registry creation.
Debounce window wide enough for your setup. Look at the BlueBubbles server log under ~/Library/Logs/bluebubbles-server/main.log:
```
grep -E "Dispatching event to webhook" main.log | tail -20
```
Measure the gap between the "Dump"-style text dispatch and the "https://..."; Attachments: dispatch that follows. Raise messages.inbound.byChannel.bluebubbles to comfortably cover that gap.
Session JSONL timestamps ≠ webhook arrival. Session event timestamps (~/.openclaw/agents/<id>/sessions/*.jsonl) reflect when the gateway hands a message to the agent, not when the webhook arrived. A queued-second message tagged [Queued messages while agent was busy] means the first turn was still running when the second webhook arrived — the coalesce bucket had already flushed. Tune the window against the BB server log, not the session log.
Memory pressure slowing reply dispatch. On smaller machines (8 GB), agent turns can take long enough that the coalesce bucket flushes before the reply completes, and the URL lands as a queued second turn. Check memory_pressure and ps -o rss -p $(pgrep openclaw-gateway); if the gateway is over ~500 MB RSS and the compressor is active, close other heavy processes or bump to a larger host.
Reply-quote sends are a different path. If the user tapped Dump as a reply to an existing URL-balloon (iMessage shows a “1 Reply” badge on the Dump bubble), the URL lives in replyToBody, not in a second webhook. Coalescing does not apply — that’s a skill/prompt concern, not a debouncer concern.

Block streaming

Control whether responses are sent as a single message or streamed in blocks:

{
  channels: {
    bluebubbles: {
      blockStreaming: true, // enable block streaming (off by default)
    },
  },
}

Media + limits

Inbound attachments are downloaded and stored in the media cache.
Media cap via channels.bluebubbles.mediaMaxMb for inbound and outbound media (default: 8 MB).
Outbound text is chunked to channels.bluebubbles.textChunkLimit (default: 4000 chars).

Configuration reference

Full configuration: Configuration Provider options:

channels.bluebubbles.enabled: Enable/disable the channel.
channels.bluebubbles.serverUrl: BlueBubbles REST API base URL.
channels.bluebubbles.password: API password.
channels.bluebubbles.webhookPath: Webhook endpoint path (default: /bluebubbles-webhook).
channels.bluebubbles.dmPolicy: pairing | allowlist | open | disabled (default: pairing).
channels.bluebubbles.allowFrom: DM allowlist (handles, emails, E.164 numbers, chat_id:*, chat_guid:*).
channels.bluebubbles.groupPolicy: open | allowlist | disabled (default: allowlist).
channels.bluebubbles.groupAllowFrom: Group sender allowlist.
channels.bluebubbles.enrichGroupParticipantsFromContacts: On macOS, optionally enrich unnamed group participants from local Contacts after gating passes. Default: false.
channels.bluebubbles.groups: Per-group config (requireMention, etc.).
channels.bluebubbles.sendReadReceipts: Send read receipts (default: true).
channels.bluebubbles.blockStreaming: Enable block streaming (default: false; required for streaming replies).
channels.bluebubbles.textChunkLimit: Outbound chunk size in chars (default: 4000).
channels.bluebubbles.sendTimeoutMs: Per-request timeout in ms for outbound text sends via /api/v1/message/text (default: 30000). Raise on macOS 26 setups where Private API iMessage sends can stall for 60+ seconds inside the iMessage framework; for example 45000 or 60000. Probes, chat lookups, reactions, edits, and health checks currently keep the shorter 10s default; broadening coverage to reactions and edits is planned as a follow-up. Per-account override: channels.bluebubbles.accounts.<accountId>.sendTimeoutMs.
channels.bluebubbles.chunkMode: length (default) splits only when exceeding textChunkLimit; newline splits on blank lines (paragraph boundaries) before length chunking.
channels.bluebubbles.mediaMaxMb: Inbound/outbound media cap in MB (default: 8).
channels.bluebubbles.mediaLocalRoots: Explicit allowlist of absolute local directories permitted for outbound local media paths. Local path sends are denied by default unless this is configured. Per-account override: channels.bluebubbles.accounts.<accountId>.mediaLocalRoots.
channels.bluebubbles.coalesceSameSenderDms: Merge consecutive same-sender DM webhooks into one agent turn so Apple’s text+URL split-send arrives as a single message (default: false). See Coalescing split-send DMs for scenarios, window tuning, and trade-offs. Widens the default inbound debounce window from 500 ms to 2500 ms when enabled without an explicit messages.inbound.byChannel.bluebubbles.
channels.bluebubbles.historyLimit: Max group messages for context (0 disables).
channels.bluebubbles.dmHistoryLimit: DM history limit.
channels.bluebubbles.actions: Enable/disable specific actions.
channels.bluebubbles.accounts: Multi-account configuration.

Addressing / delivery targets

Prefer chat_guid for stable routing:

chat_guid:iMessage;-;+15555550123 (preferred for groups)
chat_id:123
chat_identifier:...
Direct handles: +15555550123, user@example.com
- If a direct handle does not have an existing DM chat, OpenClaw will create one via POST /api/v1/chat/new. This requires the BlueBubbles Private API to be enabled.

iMessage vs SMS routing

When the same handle has both an iMessage and an SMS chat on the Mac (for example a phone number that is iMessage-registered but has also received green-bubble fallbacks), OpenClaw prefers the iMessage chat and never silently downgrades to SMS. To force the SMS chat, use an explicit sms: target prefix (for example sms:+15555550123). Handles without a matching iMessage chat still send through whatever chat BlueBubbles reports.

Security

Webhook requests are authenticated by comparing guid/password query params or headers against channels.bluebubbles.password.
Keep the API password and webhook endpoint secret (treat them like credentials).
There is no localhost bypass for BlueBubbles webhook auth. If you proxy webhook traffic, keep the BlueBubbles password on the request end-to-end. gateway.trustedProxies does not replace channels.bluebubbles.password here. See Gateway security.
Enable HTTPS + firewall rules on the BlueBubbles server if exposing it outside your LAN.

Troubleshooting

If typing/read events stop working, check the BlueBubbles webhook logs and verify the gateway path matches channels.bluebubbles.webhookPath.
Pairing codes expire after one hour; use openclaw pairing list bluebubbles and openclaw pairing approve bluebubbles <code>.
Reactions require the BlueBubbles private API (POST /api/v1/message/react); ensure the server version exposes it.
Edit/unsend require macOS 13+ and a compatible BlueBubbles server version. On macOS 26 (Tahoe), edit is currently broken due to private API changes.
Group icon updates can be flaky on macOS 26 (Tahoe): the API may return success but the new icon does not sync.
OpenClaw auto-hides known-broken actions based on the BlueBubbles server’s macOS version. If edit still appears on macOS 26 (Tahoe), disable it manually with channels.bluebubbles.actions.edit=false.
coalesceSameSenderDms enabled but split-sends (e.g. Dump + URL) still arrive as two turns: see the split-send coalescing troubleshooting checklist — common causes are too-tight debounce window, session-log timestamps misread as webhook arrival, or a reply-quote send (which uses replyToBody, not a second webhook).
For status/health info: openclaw status --all or openclaw status --deep.
