This doc describes how to send messages as a bot by authorizing Lark Flow. This will allow Lark Flow to push all relevant messages in Lark.
Lark Flow is designed as an automation tool. By combining different products and services to form an automatic workflow, Lark Flow allows you to check external information without leaving Lark.
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.
