Integrate Bluebubbles with OpenClaw by building a small, well-instrumented external connector service that owns long‑running state (webhook endpoints, token refresh, queues), register that connector with Bluebubbles (webhooks or API credentials), and then surface explicit actions through an OpenClaw skill configured in ClawHub that uses environment secrets (API keys/OAuth) to call Bluebubbles’ documented REST APIs. Keep persistent or long‑lived pieces outside the agent runtime; validate webhooks, enforce scopes/permissions, add retries and idempotency, and debug by inspecting logs and API responses.

# Send a message to Bluebubbles (example using API key header)
curl -X POST "https://bluebubbles.example.com/api/messages" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $BLUEBUBBLES_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"threadId":"THREAD_ID",
"body":"Hello from OpenClaw integration"
}'
// Node.js (Express) minimal webhook receiver
const express = require('express');
const crypto = require('crypto');
const app = express();
app.use(express.json());
const BLUE_SECRET = process.env.BLUEBUBBLES_WEBHOOK_SECRET;
// <b>//</b> Validate HMAC signature (placeholder header name)
// <b>//</b> Replace 'x-blue-signature' with actual header from Bluebubbles doc
function verifySignature(req) {
const sig = req.header('x-blue-signature');
if (!sig) return false;
const payload = JSON.stringify(req.body);
const hmac = crypto.createHmac('sha256', BLUE_SECRET).update(payload).digest('hex');
return crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(hmac), Buffer.from(sig));
}
app.post('/webhook', (req, res) => {
if (!verifySignature(req)) {
return res.status(401).send('invalid signature');
}
// <b>//</b> Persist event or push to queue for processing
console.log('valid event', req.body);
// <b>//</b> Acknowledge quickly
res.status(200).send('ok');
});

TLS fails because the client doesn't trust a self-signed certificate; you must either make that cert trusted by the agent runtime (preferred) or use a secure workaround for development. Enable detailed TLS logging, validate the certificate chain/hostname, and ensure system time is correct.
const https = require('https');
// provide CA to trust self-signed cert
const agent = new https.Agent({ ca: fs.readFileSync('ca.pem') });

Yes — a protobuf/schema or framing mismatch between BlueBubbles and the OpenClaw wire protocol is a likely cause of messages not syncing. Verify the exact .proto used by both sides, check framing/transport (length-prefix, compression, base64), and confirm both sides use the same generated code and runtime options.
Start by logging raw bytes and decode attempts; compare .proto versions and recompile stubs. Ensure authentication/handshake completed before message exchange and check for dropped acks.
// Decode a buffer with protobufjs
const protobuf = require("protobufjs");
protobuf.Root.fromFile("messages.proto").then(root => {
const Msg = root.lookupType("claw.Message"); // adjust to your package/name
try {
const m = Msg.decode(buffer);
console.log(Msg.toObject(m, { longs: String }));
} catch (err) {
console.error("Decode failed:", err);
}
});

Direct answer: 403/404 from the Claw Asset Proxy when using presigned URLs/CDN most often means the URL signature or expiry is wrong or the proxy/CDN is stripping/rewriting signature query params or required auth headers. Fix by serving the exact presigned URL to clients, ensuring CDN forwards query string & Authorization/Host headers, or use origin pull with signed CDN URLs; inspect proxy/storage logs and request traces.
// fetch a presigned URL without extra headers
fetch(presignedUrl)
.then(r => { if(!r.ok) throw new Error(r.status); return r.arrayBuffer(); })

Direct answer: Yes — an "InvalidAuthToken" WebSocket close almost always means the agent runtime received a wrong, expired, or incorrectly-sent API key/token (commonly configured in claw-config.yml or environment variables). Fix configuration, token transmission, or token refresh to resolve it.
Check these in order:
// Connect with Authorization header using env var
const WebSocket = require('ws');
const ws = new WebSocket('wss://openclaw.example/ws', {
headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.OPENCLAW_API_KEY}` }
});
ws.on('close', (code, reason) => console.log('closed', code, reason));
