2. Configure app name, description, and icon, then click "Create".
3. Add Bot capability: In the left navigation, go to "App Capabilities > Add App Capability", select "Add by Capability" tab, click "Add" on the "Bot" capability card.
4. Import required permissions: In the left navigation, go to "Development Config > Permission Management", click "Batch Import/Export Permissions", and import the complete permission list.

> **Note**: Importing the complete permission list is very important for full functionality!

### Install Feishu Plugin

Execute the following commands in your terminal:

```bash
# Set npm registry
npm config set registry https://registry.npmjs.org

# Download plugin installer
curl -o /tmp/feishu-openclaw-plugin-onboard-cli.tgz https://sf3-cn.feishucdn.com/obj/open-platform-opendoc/4d184b1ba733bae2423a89e196a2ef8f_QATOjKH1WN.tgz

# Install plugin
npm install /tmp/feishu-openclaw-plugin-onboard-cli.tgz -g

# Clean up installer
rm /tmp/feishu-openclaw-plugin-onboard-cli.tgz

# Run installation wizard
feishu-plugin-onboard install
```

During installation:
- If you previously linked a Feishu app, you can choose to use the existing app or create a new one
- If no Feishu app is linked, enter the appId and appSecret created in the previous steps

Start the plugin:
```bash
openclaw gateway run
```

Verify success:
- After running the above command, if you see "started listening to Feishu events" in the logs, the plugin has started successfully
- Run `openclaw plugins list`, if **feishu-openclaw-plugin** Status is loaded and **feishu** Status is disabled, the plugin is successfully enabled

## Quick Start

1.  **Configure `openclaw.json`**

    After installation, edit your OpenClaw configuration file (`~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`) to enable the `feishu` channel and add your app credentials.

    Here is a minimal configuration example:

    ```json
    {
      "channels": {
        "feishu": {
          "enabled": true,
          "appId": "cli_xxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
          "appSecret": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
          "domain": "feishu",
          "connectionMode": "websocket"
        }
      },
      "plugins": {
        "allow": ["feishu-openclaw-plugin"]
      }
    }
    ```
    *Make sure to replace `appId` and `appSecret` with your own app credentials.*

2.  **Run the OpenClaw Gateway**

    Save the configuration and start the OpenClaw gateway:

    ```bash
    openclaw gateway run
    ```

3.  **Pair the Bot**

    - Send any message to the bot in Feishu, and the system will generate a pairing code (letters + numbers)
    - The pairing code is valid for 5 minutes; if it expires, trigger again
    - Run the following command on the server to complete the binding:
      ```bash
      openclaw pairing approve feishu <pairing_code> --notify
      ```

4.  **Complete Authorization**

    Follow the prompts in Feishu to complete authorization, so OpenClaw can perform tasks like reading messages, docs, bitables, and calendars on your behalf.

    > If you don't want to authorize now, you can start the conversation directly and enter `/feishu auth` later to complete batch authorization.

5.  **Start Chatting**

    Your bot is now ready. To verify installation, enter `/feishu start` in the dialog; if it returns version info, the installation is successful.

    To teach the bot new skills, tell it: "Learn about my new Feishu plugin, list what capabilities it has"

## Configuration

The plugin offers several configuration options to tailor its behavior. All settings are located under the `channels.feishu` key in your `openclaw.json`.

- `replyMode` (string | object): Controls how the AI delivers responses.
    - `"auto"` (default): Uses streaming replies for DMs and static replies for group chats.
    - `"streaming"`: Always use streaming card replies.
    - `"static"`: Always send the response after it's fully generated.

- `dmPolicy` (string): Access policy for direct messages.
    - `"open"` (default): Responds to all DMs.
    - `"pairing"`: Requires users to pair with a code before they can interact with the bot.
    - `"allowlist"`: Only responds to whitelisted users.

- `groupPolicy` (string): Access policy for group chats.
    - `"open"`: Allows interaction in any group chat when the bot is @mentioned.
    - `"allowlist"` (recommended): Only works in whitelisted group chats.
    - `"disabled"`: Disables all group chat interactions.

- `requireMention` (boolean): If `true` (default), the bot will only respond in group chats when it is @mentioned.

For more detailed configuration options, see [FEATURES.md](./openclaw/feishu/FEATURES.md).

## FAQ

1.  **Why isn't Windows supported?**
    *   This is a known issue in the OpenClaw core. You can track its progress at [openclaw/openclaw#7631](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/7631).

2.  **I see a `Cannot find module 'xxx'` error on startup.**
    *   This usually means the plugin's dependencies were not installed correctly. Navigate to the plugin directory at `~/.openclaw/extensions/feishu-openclaw-plugin` and run `npm install --production` to manually install them.

3.  **The bot reports "insufficient permissions" when trying to read a doc or send a message.**
    *   Log in to the Feishu/Lark Developer Console and ensure your application has been granted the necessary API permissions. For example, reading a document requires the `docx:document:readonly` scope, and sending messages requires `im:message:send_as_bot` permission.

4.  **How to quickly complete user authorization?**
    *   Tell the AI: "I want to grant all user permissions" to complete batch authorization.
    *   Or enter `/feishu auth` to complete batch user authorization.

5.  **How to verify installation success?**
    *   Enter `/feishu start` in the dialog; if it returns version info, installation is successful.
    *   Enter `/feishu doctor` to check if configuration is normal.

6.  **How to update the plugin?**
    *   Run the following command:
      ```bash
      feishu-plugin-onboard update
      ```
    *   If you cannot find this command, you need to install the installer first (see installation steps).
