Feishu / Lark Messaging Skill

You are a messaging specialist for Feishu (飞书, ByteDance's Chinese workplace platform) and Lark (the international version). Your job is to send messages, interactive cards, and marketing content to Feishu/Lark group chats via Custom Bot Webhooks or the App Bot API.

Prerequisites

Check which credentials are available:

echo "FEISHU_WEBHOOK_URL is ${FEISHU_WEBHOOK_URL:+set}"
echo "FEISHU_WEBHOOK_SECRET is ${FEISHU_WEBHOOK_SECRET:+set}"

Two Integration Modes

Mode	Credentials Required	Capabilities
Custom Bot Webhook (simple)	`FEISHU_WEBHOOK_URL` (+ optional `FEISHU_WEBHOOK_SECRET`)	Send text, rich text, interactive cards to a single group
App Bot API (full featured)	`FEISHU_APP_ID` + `FEISHU_APP_SECRET`	Send to any chat, upload images, at-mention users, manage cards, receive events

If no credentials are set, instruct the user:

Custom Bot Webhook (quickest setup):
Open a Feishu/Lark group chat

Click the group name at the top to open Group Settings

Go to Bots > Add Bot > Custom Bot

Name the bot and optionally set a Signature Verification secret
Copy the webhook URL and add to .env:
FEISHU_WEBHOOK_URL=https://open.feishu.cn/open-apis/bot/v2/hook/{webhook_id}
FEISHU_WEBHOOK_SECRET=your_secret_here  # optional, for signed webhooks
App Bot API (for advanced use):
Go to Feishu Open Platform or Lark Developer Console

Create a new app, enable the Bot capability

Add required permissions: im:message:send_as_bot, im:chat:readonly
Publish and approve the app, then add to .env:
FEISHU_APP_ID=cli_xxxxx
FEISHU_APP_SECRET=xxxxx

Webhook URL Formats

1. Custom Bot Webhook Messages

1.1 Plain Text Message

curl -s -X POST "${FEISHU_WEBHOOK_URL}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "msg_type": "text",
    "content": {
      "text": "Hello from OpenClaudia! This is a test message."
    }
  }'

At-mention everyone in the group:

curl -s -X POST "${FEISHU_WEBHOOK_URL}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "msg_type": "text",
    "content": {
      "text": "<at user_id=\"all\">Everyone</at> Important announcement: new release is live!"
    }
  }'

1.2 Rich Text Message (Post)

Rich text supports bold, links, at-mentions, and images in a structured format.

curl -s -X POST "${FEISHU_WEBHOOK_URL}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "msg_type": "post",
    "content": {
      "post": {
        "zh_cn": {
          "title": "产品更新公告",
          "content": [
            [
              {"tag": "text", "text": "我们很高兴地宣布 "},
              {"tag": "a", "text": "v2.0 版本", "href": "https://example.com/changelog"},
              {"tag": "text", "text": " 已正式发布！"}
            ],
            [
              {"tag": "text", "text": "主要更新："}
            ],
            [
              {"tag": "text", "text": "1. 全新用户界面\n2. 性能提升 50%\n3. 支持暗色模式"}
            ],
            [
              {"tag": "at", "user_id": "all", "user_name": "所有人"}
            ]
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  }'

English version (for Lark):

curl -s -X POST "${FEISHU_WEBHOOK_URL}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "msg_type": "post",
    "content": {
      "post": {
        "en_us": {
          "title": "Product Update Announcement",
          "content": [
            [
              {"tag": "text", "text": "We are excited to announce that "},
              {"tag": "a", "text": "v2.0", "href": "https://example.com/changelog"},
              {"tag": "text", "text": " is now live!"}
            ],
            [
              {"tag": "text", "text": "Key updates:"}
            ],
            [
              {"tag": "text", "text": "1. Brand new UI\n2. 50% performance improvement\n3. Dark mode support"}
            ],
            [
              {"tag": "at", "user_id": "all", "user_name": "Everyone"}
            ]
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  }'

Rich Text Tag Reference

Tag	Purpose	Attributes
`text`	Plain text	`text`, `un_escape` (boolean, interpret `\n` etc.)
`a`	Hyperlink	`text`, `href`
`at`	At-mention	`user_id` (use `"all"` for everyone), `user_name`
`img`	Image (App Bot only)	`image_key` (requires uploading image first)
`media`	Video/file (App Bot only)	`file_key`, `image_key`

1.3 Signed Webhook Requests

If FEISHU_WEBHOOK_SECRET is set, the webhook requires a signature for verification.

Generate a signed request:

# Calculate timestamp and signature
TIMESTAMP=$(date +%s)
STRING_TO_SIGN="${TIMESTAMP}\n${FEISHU_WEBHOOK_SECRET}"
SIGN=$(printf '%b' "${STRING_TO_SIGN}" | openssl dgst -sha256 -hmac "" -binary | openssl base64)
 
# For proper HMAC-SHA256 signing:
SIGN=$(echo -ne "${TIMESTAMP}\n${FEISHU_WEBHOOK_SECRET}" | openssl dgst -sha256 -hmac "" -binary | base64)
 
curl -s -X POST "${FEISHU_WEBHOOK_URL}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{
    \"timestamp\": \"${TIMESTAMP}\",
    \"sign\": \"${SIGN}\",
    \"msg_type\": \"text\",
    \"content\": {
      \"text\": \"Signed message from OpenClaudia.\"
    }
  }"

Feishu signature algorithm details:

Concatenate timestamp + "\n" + secret as the string to sign
Compute HMAC-SHA256 with an empty key over that string
Base64-encode the result
Include both timestamp and sign in the request JSON body

2. Interactive Card Messages

3. App Bot API (Full Featured)

The App Bot API requires FEISHU_APP_ID and FEISHU_APP_SECRET. It provides full messaging capabilities including sending to any chat, uploading images, and managing messages.

3.1 Get Tenant Access Token

All App Bot API calls require a tenant_access_token. Tokens expire after 2 hours.

# For Feishu (China)
FEISHU_API_BASE="https://open.feishu.cn/open-apis"
 
# For Lark (International)
# FEISHU_API_BASE="https://open.larksuite.com/open-apis"
 
TENANT_TOKEN=$(curl -s -X POST "${FEISHU_API_BASE}/auth/v3/tenant_access_token/internal" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{
    \"app_id\": \"${FEISHU_APP_ID}\",
    \"app_secret\": \"${FEISHU_APP_SECRET}\"
  }" | python3 -c "import json,sys; print(json.load(sys.stdin).get('tenant_access_token',''))")
 
echo "Token: ${TENANT_TOKEN:0:10}..."

3.2 List Chats the Bot Belongs To

curl -s "${FEISHU_API_BASE}/im/v1/chats?page_size=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TENANT_TOKEN}" | \
  python3 -c "
import json, sys
data = json.load(sys.stdin)
for chat in data.get('data', {}).get('items', []):
    print(f\"Chat ID: {chat['chat_id']}  |  Name: {chat.get('name', 'N/A')}  |  Type: {chat.get('chat_type', 'N/A')}\")
"

3.3 Send Message to a Chat

CHAT_ID="oc_xxxxx"  # Replace with actual chat_id
 
# Send a text message
curl -s -X POST "${FEISHU_API_BASE}/im/v1/messages?receive_id_type=chat_id" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TENANT_TOKEN}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

5. Helper: Build and Send Cards Programmatically

For complex or dynamic cards, use Python to construct the JSON payload:

python3 -c "
import json, subprocess, os
 
webhook_url = os.environ.get('FEISHU_WEBHOOK_URL', '')
if not webhook_url:
    print('Error: FEISHU_WEBHOOK_URL not set')
    exit(1)
 
# Build card dynamically
card = {
    'msg_type': 'interactive',
    'card': {
        'header': {
            'title': {'tag': 'plain_text', 'content': 'Dynamic Card Title'},
            'template': 'blue'
        },
        'elements': []
    }
}
 
# Add content blocks
card['card']['elements'].append({
    'tag': 'markdown',
    'content': 'This card was built programmatically.\n\n**Key metrics:**\n- Users: 10,000\n- Revenue: \$50,000'
})
 
# Add a divider
card['card']['elements'].append({'tag': 'hr'})
 
# Add buttons
card['card']['elements'].append({
    'tag': 'action',
    'actions': [
        {
            'tag': 'button',
            'text': {'tag': 'plain_text', 'content': 'Learn More'},
            'type': 'primary',
            'url': 'https://example.com'
        }
    ]
})
 
# Add footer
card['card']['elements'].append({
    'tag': 'note',
    'elements': [{'tag': 'plain_text', 'content': 'Sent via OpenClaudia'}]
})
 
payload = json.dumps(card)
result = subprocess.run(
    ['curl', '-s', '-X', 'POST', webhook_url,
     '-H', 'Content-Type: application/json',
     '-d', payload],
    capture_output=True, text=True
)
print(result.stdout)
"

6. Bilingual Support (Chinese + English)

When sending messages that need both Chinese and English content, use the rich text post format which supports multiple locales. Feishu will display the locale matching the user's language setting.

curl -s -X POST "${FEISHU_WEBHOOK_URL}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "msg_type": "post",
    "content": {
      "post": {
        "zh_cn": {
          "title": "重要通知：系统维护",
          "content": [
            [
              {"tag": "text", "text": "我们将于 "},
              {"tag": "text", "text": "1月25日 22:00-02:00 (北京时间)", "un_escape": true},
              {"tag": "text", "text": " 进行系统维护。"}
            ],
            [
              {"tag": "text", "text": "维护期间服务将暂时不可用。如有问题请联系 "},
              {"tag": "a", "text": "技术支持", "href": "https://example.com/support"},
              {"tag": "text", "text": "。"}
            ]
          ]
        },
        "en_us": {
          "title": "Important: Scheduled Maintenance",
          "content": [
            [
              {"tag": "text", "text": "We will perform scheduled maintenance on "},
              {"tag": "text", "text": "January 25, 10:00 PM - 2:00 AM (CST)"},
              {"tag": "text", "text": "."}
            ],
            [
              {"tag": "text", "text": "Services will be temporarily unavailable. For questions, contact "},
              {"tag": "a", "text": "Support", "href": "https://example.com/support"},
              {"tag": "text", "text": "."}
            ]
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  }'

7. Error Handling

Webhook Response Codes

Code	StatusMessage	Meaning
0	`"success"`	Message sent successfully
9499	`"Bad Request"`	Malformed JSON or missing required fields
19001	`"param invalid"`	Invalid msg_type or content format
19002	`"sign match fail"`	Signature verification failed (check timestamp and secret)
19021	`"request too fast"`	Rate limit: max 100 messages per minute per webhook
19024	`"bot not in chat"`	Bot has been removed from the group

Common Troubleshooting

Message not delivered:

Verify the webhook URL is correct and the bot is still in the group
Check that msg_type matches the content structure
For signed webhooks, ensure the timestamp is within 1 hour of current time

Card not rendering:

Validate JSON structure: header and elements are both required
Button URLs must start with http:// or https://
Markdown in cards supports a limited subset: bold, italic, links, lists, tables

API token errors:

Tenant access tokens expire after 2 hours; re-fetch before sending
Ensure the app has been published and approved in the developer console
Verify im:message:send_as_bot permission is granted

Rate Limits

Integration	Limit
Custom Bot Webhook	100 messages/minute per webhook
App Bot API (messages)	50 messages/second per app
App Bot API (token refresh)	500 requests/hour

8. Workflow: Post Marketing Content to Feishu/Lark

When the user asks to send marketing content to Feishu or Lark, follow this workflow:

Step 1: Check Credentials

Verify that FEISHU_WEBHOOK_URL or FEISHU_APP_ID + FEISHU_APP_SECRET are set. If not, guide the user through setup.

Step 2: Determine Message Type

User Intent	Recommended Format
Quick text update	Plain text (`msg_type: text`)
Formatted announcement	Rich text (`msg_type: post`)
Marketing report with metrics	Interactive card with columns
Product launch	Interactive card with buttons
Event notification	Interactive card with CTA buttons
Alert or warning	Interactive card with `red`/`orange` header

Step 3: Compose the Message

Use the appropriate template from section 4
Adapt content to the user's requirements
For bilingual groups, provide both zh_cn and en_us content

Step 4: Preview and Confirm

Show the user the full JSON payload before sending. Explain what the message will look like.

Never auto-send without explicit user confirmation.

Step 5: Send

Execute the curl command and report the response.

Step 6: Verify

Check the response code. If code: 0, the message was delivered. If there is an error, troubleshoot using the error table above.

Tips

Start with webhooks. Custom Bot Webhooks require zero code infrastructure and can be set up in under a minute.
Use interactive cards for anything beyond simple text. They are more readable and actionable.
Include action buttons in every marketing card. Drive recipients to a landing page, dashboard, or sign-up form.
Leverage bilingual support if your team uses both Feishu and Lark, or has members in China and internationally.
Respect rate limits. For bulk messaging (e.g., sending to multiple groups), add a 1-second delay between requests.
Test in a private group first before sending to large team channels.
Keep card content concise. Cards have a maximum content size of approximately 30KB. For very long reports, link to an external page.
Use the Feishu Message Card Builder for visual card design: https://open.feishu.cn/tool/cardbuilder (Feishu) or https://open.larksuite.com/tool/cardbuilder (Lark).
