Tasker Integration

Details on how BlueBubbles integrates with Tasker
Tasker integration requires BlueBubbles App v1.12.0 or greater!
If you make any cool integrations, feel free to share in our Discord!

Fetching the Server URL

To fetch the server URL in Tasker, follow the below process:
  1. 1.
    Create the Send Intent task
    1. 1.
      Set the action as com.bluebubbles.external.GET_SERVER_URL
    2. 2.
      Set one extra as password:<your server password>. This is required so that apps cannot abuse this ability without your consent.
    3. 3.
      Set the package as com.bluebubbles.messaging.
    4. 4.
      Ensure the target is set as Broadcast Receiver.
  2. 2.
    Create the Intent Received event
    1. 1.
      Set the action as net.dinglisch.android.taskerm.BB_SERVER_URL
    2. 2.
      Create your own task to perform once this is received. The server URL can be accessed via the %url variable.

Listening for Server Events

To listen for server events (new message, chat read status change, etc), follow the below process:
  1. 1.
    Enable the option within BlueBubbles app settings > Tasker Integration
  2. 2.
    Create the Intent Received intent
    1. 1.
      Set the action as net.dinglisch.android.taskerm.BB_EVENT
    2. 2.
      Create your own task to perform once this is received.
The intent sends a few pieces of data:
  1. 1.
    The server URL, which can be accessed via the %url variable
  2. 2.
    The type of event, which can be accessed via the %event variable
  3. 3.
    The event data, which can be accessed via the %data variable
The event type is defined by the server event types, which can be found here.
The event data is a JSON string. You can use Tasker's built-in JSON parser to convert this to a real JSON object and access the individual data inside.
