Discussion: Adding Copilot to your GroupMe SMS Conversation

anything to do?

To get Copilot through SMS, or to get GroupMe to like SMS users?

I literally have no patience to fix it but I’ll get to it.

I’ll have to check better but in my really fast check, it seems like copilot messages also don’t get forwarded to a callback URL for a bot you set up. so you can’t just resend everything you the bot gets from copilots uid. It does show up in the group endpoint so you should be able to easily have the bot resend the + message like it currently does, sleep a drop and fetch the latest copilot message (obviously ensuring it’s the right one) and echo it back. Haven’t tested this yet but should work.

I have a lot of GroupMe bots all running to one endpoint on my server with a bot_map (gid: bot) so when I get to it I’ll try…

Your gonna fix shalom Karrs bot?
I know you and @Shalom_Karr are busy so no pressure but if your able to get around because so many people are dependent on it especially now bein hazmanim

Thanks a lot

That’s how I fixed mine. Is sk copilot open source? If yes maybe I’ll make a pr. Unless @Shalom_Karr wants to

Shalom_Karr · July 12, 2026, 6:17am

Now it is

Shalom_Karr · July 12, 2026, 6:23am

I will fix if I can

just a note that you can use utilities.sleep for gas because they each get their own run over here with a 6 minute timeout

## Problem Copilot's SMS relay broke. GroupMe changed two behaviors: 1. SMS us…ers now receive **"Copilot sent a message. View it here: `<link>`"** instead of the actual reply text. 2. Copilot's AI replies **no longer hit the bot webhook** (`doPost`), so the script never saw the reply and couldn't surface it. Net effect: SMS members got a useless link instead of Copilot's answer. ## Fix After mentioning Copilot, actively fetch its reply and re-post it as plain text so SMS members get the real content: - `sendGroupMeMessageAsUser` now returns the sent message's ID, used as `since_id`. - New `pollAndEchoCopilotResponse` waits **2s**, then polls `GET /groups/{id}/messages?since_id=...` every **0.7s** up to **12s** for a message from Copilot's UID (`128934125`). - New `echoViaBot` re-posts the first reply via `POST /bots/post` using the group's `bot_id`. `bot_id` is read from the existing `group_configs` Supabase row (`select` now includes it) — no new configuration. ## Why re-post through the bot Bot messages deliver to SMS as real text, **and** they're already dropped by the existing `sender_type === 'bot'` check in `doPost` — so the relay can't loop, with zero extra loop-guard code. If `bot_id` is missing the poller no-ops (fails safe), and the poll call is wrapped in try/catch so it can never break the webhook handler. ## Notes / verification - Synchronous `Utilities.sleep` is used deliberately — each `doPost` invocation gets its own run with the 6-minute execution budget, so the ~14s worst-case poll is well within limits. `markMessageAsProcessed` runs *before* the poll, so any GroupMe callback retry during the poll window is deduped by the existing loop prevention. - **Manual test:** from the app, send a normal (non-`@`) message → relay posts `@Copilot <text>` → Copilot replies → within ~2–5s the group bot re-posts the reply → SMS members receive the actual text. Check the log Sheet / Executions tab if nothing echoes. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) https://claude.ai/code/session_01DCCzHf6ttcS1fdnJ9jrEuj

SK Copilot is now working again

Shalom_Karr · July 12, 2026, 6:55am

Added a thing to rename it to SK Copilot instead of the whole long listener bot thing

Techgen · July 12, 2026, 6:42pm

Thanks! Still only works halfway by me, I tried deleting and making a new bot, but didn’t help. It sometimes sends “copilot sent a message…” and then the message, and sometimes only “copilot sent a message…”

flipphoneguy · July 12, 2026, 7:04pm

@Shalom_Karr I didn’t check your code but you’re probably only sleeping once, checking and if it doesn’t exist yet - forget.

Shalom_Karr · July 12, 2026, 7:06pm

Nope. there is polling for 12 seconds

flipphoneguy · July 12, 2026, 7:07pm

For 12 secs or every 12?

Shalom_Karr · July 12, 2026, 7:11pm

Every 0.7 seconds for 12 seconds - like the way you recommended

Shalom_Karr · July 12, 2026, 7:11pm

Read the README in the repo

flipphoneguy · July 12, 2026, 7:14pm

I can look into it tomorrow if you want. By me it works every single time. Very possible that with gas taking longer to start, it may be different. Or if some of the runs are being killed in middle… Dunno

Shalom_Karr · July 12, 2026, 7:19pm

Send me your group ID and I will see if its in the bot logs

It can be found here in the url 123456789 would be the group id

https://web.groupme.com/chats/group/123456789

Techgen · July 12, 2026, 7:31pm

Group ID 115908932

Thanks

Shalom_Karr · July 12, 2026, 7:54pm

Ignored: Sender is bot or ignored ID (912711).

What is that ID? @flipphoneguy what did you do to make sure not to do a repeat loop?

Checking again your group should be working

Idk why your not getting messages back
