Bug type
Behavior bug (incorrect output/state without crash)
Summary
Environment
- OpenClaw: 2026.3.2 (via Homebrew)
- Nextcloud Talk bot (with --feature webhook,response,reaction)
- Internal network setup: Mac ↔ Nextcloud server
- Webhook URL: http://MAC_INTERNAL_IP:8788/nextcloud-talk-webhook
What works
- Bot is installed successfully
- Webhook server starts and listens on port 8788
- Connection test from Nextcloud server to Mac succeeds (curl returns 400 Bad Request with "Missing signature headers")
What doesn't work
- When sending a message via DM or group chat, Nextcloud does NOT send any POST request to the webhook URL
- No webhook events are triggered at all
Troubleshooting already done
- Reinstalled bot multiple times with different features
- Changed DM policy to "open"
- Confirmed network connectivity between server and Mac
- Verified webhook server is listening
This seems to be a bug in either OpenClaw's Nextcloud Talk plugin or Nextcloud Talk itself not triggering webhooks on message events.
Steps to reproduce
- Install OpenClaw 2026.3.2 via Homebrew
- Install nextcloud-talk plugin
- Configure with internal network settings (baseUrl, botSecret, webhookPublicUrl)
- Install Nextcloud Talk bot on Nextcloud server:
php occ talk:bot:install "OpenClaw" "" "http://<internal_ip>:8788/nextcloud-talk-webhook" --feature webhook,response,reaction
5. Enable the bot in a Nextcloud Talk room or start a DM with the bot
- Send a message to the bot
- Observe: No POST request is sent to the webhook URL
Expected behavior
When a message is sent to the OpenClaw bot (via DM or group chat), Nextcloud Talk should send a POST request to the configured webhook URL, allowing OpenClaw to receive and process the message.
Actual behavior
When a message is sent to the OpenClaw bot, no POST request is sent to the webhook URL. The webhook server is running and listening, but Nextcloud never triggers the webhook on message events. No errors are shown - the messages simply do not reach OpenClaw.
