| 2 | |
| 3 | ## Overview |
| 4 | |
| 5 | 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. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | ## Inputs to collect |
| 8 | |
| 9 | - `target` (prefer `chat_guid:...`; also `+15551234567` in E.164 or `user@example.com`) |
| 10 | - `message` text for send/edit/reply |
| 11 | - `messageId` for react/edit/unsend/reply |
| 12 | - Attachment `path` for local files, or `buffer` + `filename` for base64 |
| 13 | |
| 14 | If the user is vague ("text my mom"), ask for the recipient handle or chat guid and the exact message content. |
| 15 | |

| 109 | "effect": "balloons" |
| 110 | } |
| 111 | ``` |
| 112 | |
| 113 | ## Notes |
| 114 | |
| 115 | - Requires gateway config `channels.bluebubbles` (serverUrl/password/webhookPath). |
| 116 | - Prefer `chat_guid` targets when you have them (especially for group chats). |
| 117 | - BlueBubbles supports rich actions, but some are macOS-version dependent (for example, edit may be broken on macOS 26 Tahoe). |
| 118 | - The gateway may expose both short and full message ids; full ids are more durable across restarts. |
| 119 | - Developer reference for the underlying plugin lives in `extensions/bluebubbles/README.md`. |
| 120 | |
| 121 | ## Ideas to try |
| 122 | |
| 123 | - React with a tapback to acknowledge a request. |
| 124 | - Reply in-thread when a user references a specific message. |
| 125 | - Send a file attachment with a short caption. |
