# Clawdbot RingCentral Channel
RingCentral Team Messaging channel plugin for Clawdbot. Enables bidirectional messaging with AI assistants through RingCentral Team Messaging.
## Features
- WebSocket-based real-time messaging (no public webhook required)
- JWT authentication
- Self-only mode (talk to AI as yourself)
- Support for text messages and attachments
- Typing indicators
## Prerequisites
1. A RingCentral account with Team Messaging enabled
2. A RingCentral REST API App (not Bot Add-in)
## Installation
```bash
clawdbot plugin install @clawdbot/ringcentral
```
Or install from tarball:
```bash
clawdbot plugin install ./clawdbot-ringcentral-2026.1.25.tgz
```
## RingCentral App Setup
1. Go to [RingCentral Developer Portal](https://developers.ringcentral.com/)
2. Create a new app:
- **App Type**: REST API App
- **Auth**: JWT auth flow
3. Add permissions:
- **Team Messaging** - Read and send messages
- **WebSocket Subscriptions** - Real-time event subscriptions
- **Read Accounts** - Read user information
4. Generate a JWT token for your user
## Configuration
Add to `~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json`:
```json
{
"channels": {
"ringcentral": {
"enabled": true,
"clientId": "your-client-id",
"clientSecret": "your-client-secret",
"jwt": "your-jwt-token",
"server": "https://platform.ringcentral.com"
}
}
}
```
Or use environment variables:
```bash
export RINGCENTRAL_CLIENT_ID="your-client-id"
export RINGCENTRAL_CLIENT_SECRET="your-client-secret"
export RINGCENTRAL_JWT="your-jwt-token"
```
### Configuration Options
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|--------|------|---------|-------------|
| `enabled` | boolean | `false` | Enable the RingCentral channel |
| `clientId` | string | - | RingCentral app client ID |
| `clientSecret` | string | - | RingCentral app client secret |
| `jwt` | string | - | JWT token for authentication |
| `server` | string | `https://platform.ringcentral.com` | RingCentral API server URL |
| `selfOnly` | boolean | `true` | Only accept messages from the JWT user |
| `allowOtherChats` | boolean | `false` | In selfOnly mode, allow chats other than Personal |
| `name` | string | - | Bot display name |
| `textChunkLimit` | number | `4000` | Maximum characters per message chunk |
## Usage
1. Start the Clawdbot gateway:
```bash
clawdbot gateway run
```
2. Open RingCentral app and go to your "Personal" chat (conversation with yourself)
3. Send a message - the AI will respond!
## How It Works
This plugin uses JWT authentication, which means:
- **Messages appear from your own account** (not a separate bot)
- **Default mode (`selfOnly: true`)**: Only processes messages you send to yourself
- **Personal chat only**: By default, only responds in your "Personal" chat
This is ideal for personal AI assistant use without needing to set up a separate bot account.
## Advanced Configuration
### Allow Group Chats
To enable the bot in group chats:
```json
{
"channels": {
"ringcentral": {
"enabled": true,
"selfOnly": false,
"groupPolicy": "open",
"dmPolicy": "open"
}
}
}
```
### Multiple Accounts
```json
{
"channels": {
"ringcentral": {
"enabled": true,
"defaultAccount": "work",
"accounts": {
"work": {
"clientId": "work-client-id",
"clientSecret": "work-client-secret",
"jwt": "work-jwt-token"
},
"personal": {
"clientId": "personal-client-id",
"clientSecret": "personal-client-secret",
"jwt": "personal-jwt-token"
}
}
}
}
}
```
## Troubleshooting
### "Unauthorized for this grant type"
Your app type is wrong. Create a **REST API App** (not Bot Add-in) with JWT auth flow.
### "In order to call this API endpoint, application needs to have [WebSocket] permission"
Add **WebSocket Subscriptions** permission in your app settings. Permission changes may take a few minutes to propagate.
### Messages not being processed
1. Check that `selfOnly` mode matches your use case
2. Verify you're sending messages in a "Personal" chat (conversation with yourself)
3. Check gateway logs: `tail -f /tmp/clawdbot/clawdbot-*.log | grep ringcentral`
### Rate limit errors
RingCentral has API rate limits. If you see "Request rate exceeded", wait a minute before retrying.
