Lark Flow is only available on the Lark desktop app.

I. Intro

Lark Flow is a designed automation tool. By combining different products and services to form an automatic workflow, Lark Flow allows you to check external information without leaving Lark. For example, you can build a flow to record group messages into a spreadsheet automatically.

To build this automated workflow, you need to set the following components:

Trigger: Specifies the trigger event of your flow. For example, when you receive a group message.
Action: Specifies actions to be executed once the flow is triggered. For example, record group messages into a spreadsheet automatically.

You can use detailed parameters to control triggers and actions. For example, you can use the flow to collect group messages which contain the keyword "task".

Additionally, you can set multiple parallel actions by adding Paths. For example, if the group message contains the keyword "important", the message gets recorded in "Spreadsheet A", while all other messages get recorded in "Spreadsheet B".

II. Steps

Create flows

1.1 Create a basic flow

Open Lark Flow and go to the Home tab.

Create a flow using a template: You can select preset templates in Recommended templates according to different scenarios or Browse templates by app. After you complete account authorization and a few simple steps, your basic flow is ready.

Create Lark Flow from scratch: Click Create in the upper-right corner to create a new flow. Specify the Trigger and Action of the flow.

1.2 Add paths to your flow

You can add an Action or Path to your flow by clicking the + icons. For each path, you must set a Condition and select an Action.

In the My Flows tab, you can view all your created flows. You can check the number of runs of each flow, activate or deactivate a flow, and delete a flow. Click the flow card to edit the flow structure.

2.1 Manage authorization

In My Flows > Authorization Management, you can view a list of your app accounts that Lark Flow is authorized to access. You can also see details such as the app name, your username, authorization time, and the number of connected flows. To disconnect your app account from Lark Flow, click Disconnect.

Note: Once the account is disconnected, associated flows are permanently deleted.

2.2 Manage apps (only visible to administrators)
