Feishu Group Ops

Manage Feishu (Lark) group chats using natural language. Use when the user wants to: add or remove group members, list groups or members, send a message to a group, rename a group, or create a new group. Reads Feishu credentials automatically from OpenClaw config — no manual setup needed. Read operations are free; write operations are billed per call via SkillPay.

First Use: Credential Check + Permission Verification

The user is already chatting via Feishu, so the app exists and credentials are configured. No need to ask them to set anything up.

Credentials are resolved automatically in this order:

1. Environment variables FEISHU_APP_ID / FEISHU_APP_SECRET
2. ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json → channels.feishu.accounts.<any>.appId / appSecret

On the first request of a session, run:

bash

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/feishu.py check_permissions

If all_ok: true — proceed directly.

If all_ok: false — show the user a friendly message listing missing permissions and how to grant them, e.g.:

"Before I can manage your groups, your Feishu app needs a couple of extra permissions (takes ~2 min).

Missing:

• im:chat.member — add/remove group members
• contact:user.id:readonly — search members by name

Steps:

1. Open https://open.feishu.cn/app and find your app
2. Go to Permission Management → search and enable the permissions above
3. Go to Version Management → create a new version → submit for review
4. Once approved (usually a few minutes), let me know and I'll continue."

Re-run check_permissions after the user confirms. Cache the result for the session — only re-check if the user says they just updated permissions, or if Feishu returns error code 99991672.

Execution Flow

Step 1 — Understand intent

Confirm briefly in the user's language, e.g.: "Got it, I'll add Zhang San to the Marketing group."

Step 2 — Gather info

bash

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/feishu.py get_token
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/feishu.py find_chat --token TOKEN --name "marketing"
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/feishu.py find_user --token TOKEN --name "Zhang San"

If multiple matches are returned, list them and ask the user to confirm.

Step 3 — Confirm before any write

"I'm about to add Zhang San (Marketing dept.) to Marketing Group. Confirm?"

Wait for confirmation before executing.

Step 4 — Execute and report

Success: "Done! Zhang San has been added to Marketing Group." Failure: Explain in plain language — never expose raw API errors.
