What you can automate

What can the Lark Group Robot Make integration do?

The Lark Group Robot Make integration lets a scenario, the automation you build in Make, post messages into one Lark group chat through a custom bot you add to that group. Every block of the scenario is a module, and this app brings three of them, all actions: it speaks in the group, it does not listen.

A sales ping the team actually reads. When a deal closes in your CRM, a Send a Text Message module drops one short line in the sales group, with the client name mapped from the previous module.

A formatted incident note. A support team that wants more than one flat line uses Send a Rich Text Message, so the alert stands out from the everyday chatter in the group.

Anything the two message modules leave out. Make an API Call reaches the rest of the bot's API with the same connection, when you know which request you need.

What Make does not do here: the app has no trigger module, so nothing that happens inside the group can start a scenario. The start always comes from another app or from Make's own clock. Make's documentation for this app also warns that it is AI-generated and may contain mistakes, so test each module before relying on it. If you are still weighing tools, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the criteria, and the Make review covers the editor in depth. Stuck on a failed run? Start with Make troubleshooting.

Connect

How do you connect Lark Group Robot to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a custom bot to the group

    In Feishu, open the group chat that should receive messages, click More in the upper right corner, then Settings and Bots. Click Add Bot, pick Custom Bot, give it a name and a description, then click Add.

  2. 02

    Copy the key from the webhook URL

    Once the bot exists, Lark shows its webhook URL. The part you need sits at the very end of that address: it is the unique key of this bot. Copy it and keep it handy for Make.

  3. 03

    Create the connection in Make

    Add a Lark Group Robot module to your scenario and click Create a connection. A connection is your bot linked to Make once, then reused by every module of the app. Name it in Connection name if you like, paste the key and follow the on-screen instructions.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Lark Group Robot

GoalWhen something happens in another app, Make posts a message in your Lark group through the bot.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. Pick the app whose event should reach the group, such as a form or a CRM.

  2. 02

    Add the Lark module

    Click the + on the right of that first module, search Lark Group Robot and choose Send a Text Message. Select the connection you created with the bot key.

  3. 03

    Write the message

    Fill the module fields and map data from the first module into the text, so each message carries the name or amount that just came in. Each item passed along this way is called a bundle.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once to execute the scenario one time. Make shows the bundles each module received; then open the Lark group and check that the message arrived as you wrote it.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch it on

    Set the schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. Each module run counts as one operation on your Make plan.

Modules

What the Lark Group Robot modules do

Lark Group Robot gives you 3 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Lark Group Robot1

Make an API Call

ActionIn the docs only

This module lets you reach any endpoint of the Lark bot API that the two message modules do not cover, while reusing the connection you already set up with the bot key.

When to use it
you know the exact request you need and neither Send a Text Message nor Send a Rich Text Message offers it.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so read Lark's own documentation first and test the call with Run once before switching the scenario on.
Lark Group Robot2

Send a Rich Text Message

ActionIn the docs only

You get a message in the group that is richer than a single plain line, posted by the custom bot as soon as the scenario reaches this module.

When to use it
an alert has to stand out from the usual conversation, for example an outage notice for the support group.
Watch out
this page lists no formatting options, so run the scenario once and look at the message in the group before switching it on.
Lark Group Robot3

Send a Text Message

ActionIn the docs only

Your team sees one plain line in the group chat, written by the bot, with values mapped from earlier modules such as a client name or an order number.

When to use it
a short notice is enough, like a new signup or a paid invoice, and nobody needs formatting to read it.
Watch out
the bot posts only in the group where you added it, so a second group needs its own bot and its own connection.

FAQ

Questions about the Lark Group Robot Make integration

01Is the Lark Group Robot Make integration free?
Yes, Lark Group Robot is a standard app in Make, so it works on the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between two scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) lower the interval to 1 minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. Usage is counted in credits, one per operation. For Lark itself, check the vendor's own pricing page.
02What do you need to connect Lark Group Robot to Make?
You need a Lark developer account and an active Lark tenant, as Make's documentation states. Then you add a custom bot to the group chat in Feishu through More, Settings, Bots and Add Bot, copy the key found at the end of the bot's webhook URL, and paste it when you click Create a connection in Make. The connection name is optional. One connection serves every Lark Group Robot module in your scenarios.
03Does the Lark Group Robot Make integration react in real time?
No, because the app has no trigger at all: its three modules only post messages. A scenario that uses it has to start elsewhere. The first module can be a trigger from another app, such as a form or a CRM, or the scenario can simply run on Make's schedule, every 15 minutes by default on a new scenario. How fast a message reaches the group depends on that first module, not on the Lark bot.
04What if a Lark Group Robot module you need is missing in Make?
It depends on the request. The app includes Make an API Call, which calls any endpoint of the bot's API with the same connection, so an operation missing from the two message modules can still be reached if you know the request. Keep in mind that Make's documentation for this app is AI-generated and may contain mistakes, so verify important details and contact Lark directly for questions about their own documentation.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Lark Group Robot?
It depends on the tool your team already builds in. In Make, this app gives you three action modules, a connection built on the bot key and a scenario you assemble visually, then test with Run once. Many apps also have an n8n node, so check whether one exists for this bot before choosing. The deciding criteria are the ones that matter to your team: the editor you prefer, the plan you already pay for and who will maintain the automations.
