BlueBubbles Actions

Overview

BlueBubbles is Mayros’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 [phone] in E.164 or [e-mail])
• 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.

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 extensions/bluebubbles/README.md.

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.
