# 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=❤️`
