This document describes how to authorize Lark Flow to use custom bots. This will allow Lark Flow to push all relevant messages in Lark.
Custom bots are simplified functions that send and receive chat messages. When you subscribe to events in the system, the system will notify you when such events occur and you can chat with the relevant robots for more information.
There are two types of Lark bots: official app bots and custom app bots.
Official app bots refer to bots created by Lark or officially authorized third-party app vendors. These bots can be used by all Lark members.
Custom app bots refer to bots developed internally by enterprises using the capabilities provided by the Open Platform, then reviewed and approved by Lark. These bots are only used by an enterprise's internal staff.
