openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix iMessage plugin echoes own outbound messages as inbound [1 participants]

TL;DR

Filtering messages at the iMessage plugin level based on the is_from_me field is likely to prevent outbound messages from being routed back to the agent as inbound messages.

Guidance

• Identify the specific code section in the iMessage plugin where messages are dispatched to the agent session and add a conditional check for the is_from_me field.
• Modify the plugin to filter out messages where is_from_me is true before processing them as inbound messages.
• Verify the fix by sending a message via imsg send and checking if it is correctly filtered out and not echoed back to the agent.
• Consider adding a configuration option or flag (like --ignore-from-me) to the imsg CLI to control this behavior, if it's not already available in future versions.

Example

# Pseudo-code example, actual implementation may vary
if message['is_from_me']:
    # Filter out the message
    return
else:
    # Process the message as inbound
    dispatch_to_agent(message)

Notes

The exact implementation details may depend on the programming language and framework used by the iMessage plugin. This guidance assumes that the is_from_me field is accessible and can be checked at the plugin level.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Modify the iMessage plugin to filter out messages where is_from_me is true, as this directly addresses the root cause of the issue and prevents the unwanted echo.
