Support ${VAR_NAME} syntax in any config string value, substituted at
config load time. Useful for referencing API keys and secrets from
environment variables without hardcoding them in the config file.
- Only uppercase env vars matched: [A-Z_][A-Z0-9_]*
- Missing/empty env vars throw MissingEnvVarError with path context
- Escape with $${VAR} to output literal ${VAR}
- Works with $include (included files also get substitution)
Closes#1009
- Add userToken and userTokenReadOnly (default: true) config fields
- Implement token routing: reads prefer user token, writes use bot token
- Add tests for token routing logic
- Update documentation with required OAuth scopes
User tokens enable reading DMs and private channels without requiring
bot membership. The userTokenReadOnly flag (true by default) ensures
the user token can only be used for reads, preventing accidental
sends as the user.
Required user token scopes:
- channels:history, channels:read
- groups:history, groups:read
- im:history, im:read
- mpim:history, mpim:read
- users:read, reactions:read, pins:read, emoji:read, search:read
* feat(whatsapp): add debounceMs for batching rapid messages
Add a `debounceMs` configuration option to WhatsApp channel settings
that batches rapid consecutive messages from the same sender into a
single response. This prevents triggering separate agent runs for
each message when a user sends multiple short messages in quick
succession (e.g., "Hey!", "how are you?", "I was wondering...").
Changes:
- Add `debounceMs` config to WhatsAppConfig and WhatsAppAccountConfig
- Implement message buffering in `monitorWebInbox` with:
- Map-based buffer keyed by sender (DM) or chat ID (groups)
- Debounce timer that resets on each new message
- Message combination with newline separator
- Single message optimization (no modification if only one message)
- Wire `debounceMs` through account resolution and monitor tuning
- Add UI hints and schema documentation
Usage example:
{
"channels": {
"whatsapp": {
"debounceMs": 5000 // 5 second window
}
}
}
Default behavior: `debounceMs: 0` (disabled by default)
Verified: All existing tests pass (3204 tests), TypeScript compilation
succeeds with no errors.
Implemented with assistance from AI coding tools.
Closes#967

Add option to disable automatic read receipts for WhatsApp messages.
When set to false, Clawdbot will not mark messages as read (blue ticks).
Closes#344
Changes:
- Add sendReadReceipts to WhatsAppConfig and WhatsAppAccountConfig types
- Add sendReadReceipts to zod schemas for validation
- Add sendReadReceipts to ResolvedWhatsAppAccount with fallback chain
- Pass sendReadReceipts through to monitorWebInbox
- Gate sock.readMessages() call based on config option
Default behavior (true) is preserved - only explicitly setting false
will disable read receipts.
