BlueBubbles Actions

Overview

BlueBubbles is OpenClaw’s recommended iMessage integration. Use the message tool with channel: "bluebubbles" to send messages and manage iMessage conversations: send texts and attachments, react (tapbacks), edit/unsend, reply in threads, and manage group participants/names/icons.

Inputs to collect

  • target (prefer chat_guid:...; also +15551234567 in E.164 or user@example.com)
  • message text for send/edit/reply
  • messageId for react/edit/unsend/reply
  • Attachment path for local files, or buffer + filename for base64

If the user is vague ("text my mom"), ask for the recipient handle or chat guid and the exact message content.

Actions

json

  "action": "send",

}

  "action": "sendWithEffect",
  "channel": "bluebubbles",
  "target": "+15551234567",
  "message": "big news",
  "effect": "balloons"
}

Notes

  • Requires gateway config channels.bluebubbles (serverUrl/password/webhookPath).
  • Prefer chat_guid targets when you have them (especially for group chats).
  • BlueBubbles supports rich actions, but some are macOS-version dependent (for example, edit may be broken on macOS 26 Tahoe).
  • The gateway may expose both short and full message ids; full ids are more durable across restarts.
  • Developer reference for the underlying plugin lives in the BlueBubbles plugin package README.

Ideas to try

  • React with a tapback to acknowledge a request.
  • Reply in-thread when a user references a specific message.
  • Send a file attachment with a short caption.
