* fix(bluebubbles): include sender identity in group chat envelopes

Use formatInboundEnvelope (matching iMessage/Signal pattern) so group
messages show the group label in the envelope header and include the
sender name in the message body. ConversationLabel now resolves to the
group name for groups instead of being undefined.

Fixes #16210

* fix(bluebubbles): use finalizeInboundContext and set BodyForAgent to raw text

Wrap ctxPayload with finalizeInboundContext (matching iMessage/Signal/
every other channel) so field normalization, ChatType, ConversationLabel
fallback, and MediaType alignment are applied consistently.

Change BodyForAgent from the envelope-formatted body to rawBody so the
agent prompt receives clean message text instead of the [BlueBubbles ...]
envelope wrapper.

* docs: add changelog entry for BlueBubbles group sender fix (#16326)

* fix(bluebubbles): include id in fromLabel matching formatInboundFromLabel

Align fromLabel output with the shared formatInboundFromLabel pattern:
groups get 'GroupName id:peerId', DMs get 'Name id:senderId' when the
name differs from the id. Addresses PR review feedback.

BlueBubbles extension (developer reference)

This directory contains the BlueBubbles external channel plugin for OpenClaw.

If youre looking for how to use BlueBubbles as an agent/tool user, see:

  • skills/bluebubbles/SKILL.md

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 openclaw/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=❤️
