Part 1: Configuration steps (takes about 10 minutes)
Performed by: An enterprise administrator or application developer in your Lark organization's developer console.
Core objective: Create a custom enterprise application and grant the necessary permissions to establish a secure connection with our platform.
Step 1: Create a custom enterprise application
Log on to the Lark Open Platform - Developer Console as an enterprise administrator or application developer.
Create a new custom enterprise application. You can define a name and description for the application. We recommend including "Alibaba Cloud Exclusive Service" to help your organization members find and access it.


Step 2: Add application features
In the navigation pane on the left of the application console, find and click Add Features. On this page, you can add the following two core features to your application:

Web App
Purpose: Allows your team to open and use the Alibaba Cloud Exclusive Service application directly in Lark.
Action: Find the Web App card and click + Add. You can add the desktop homepage URL in Step 4.
Bot
Purpose: After you enable the bot, the Alibaba Cloud Exclusive Service application can send you new message notifications. This helps ensure that you do not miss important information.
Action: Find the Bot card and click + Add.
Step 3: Get and provide application credentials
To enable the Lark channel, you must provide your Organization Name, App ID, and App Secret.
Organization Name: In the upper-right corner of the Lark Open Platform, click your profile picture, and then click Personal Center. Your organization name is displayed below your name. The organization name is also shown in the upper-left corner of a new application page in the format "Official Application@(Organization Name)".

After the application is created, go to the Credentials & Basic Info tab on the application details page. Copy the App ID and App Secret.

Paste the Organization Name, App ID, and App Secret into the credential fields for the Lark channel. You can find these fields on the Enable Multi-channel page in the Alibaba Cloud Value-added Service Console - My Support Plan.

After you enter the App ID and App Secret on the Enable Multi-channel page, a Desktop Homepage URL is generated. Enter this URL on the web application's configuration page as shown in the following figure.
We recommend that you select "Open in a new tab within Lark".
The homepage URL format is shown below. Replace {appId} with your application's App ID:

Special notes and FAQ
[Network Configuration] IP address whitelist (if applicable)
If your corporate network has a strict IP address or domain name whitelist, you must add our application URL to the whitelist. Otherwise, the application cannot be opened in Lark.

If you use the Free Edition of Lark, the API call limit for custom enterprise applications is
10,000 calls/month.If you use a paid edition of Lark, this limit does not apply.
Note: Our application primarily uses API calls to send
@mention notifications through the bot. To prevent notification fatigue, each user receives a maximum of one notification every 10 minutes. You can estimate your usage based on your team's communication frequency. The limit of 10,000 calls/month applies to the total number of API calls. If you use the Free Edition, you must also consider other API calls. For more information about paid APIs, see https://open.feishu.cn/document/server-docs/api-call-guide/server-api-list?charge=all.
