Channels

Tip: Enable Discord Developer Mode, then right-click target channel and copy ID. If server-channel message text appears empty, enable Message Content Intent for the bot in Discord Developer Portal.

Slack Setup

1. Open target session settings from sidebar.
2. Set Channel = Slack.
3. Fill Slack App Token (xapp...).
4. Fill Slack Bot Token (xoxb...).
5. Fill Target Channel ID (usually starts with C, G, or D).
6. Choose Response Mode:
   • mention = reply only when bot is mentioned in channels
   • open = reply to all messages in the bound channel
7. Optional: fill Allowed User IDs allow-list.
8. Save.

Slack app prerequisites:

• Socket Mode enabled
• App-level token with connections:write
• Bot scopes: chat:write, reactions:write, app_mentions:read
• Event subscriptions include message/app mention events
• App installed to workspace

Feishu Setup

1. Open target session settings from sidebar.
2. Set Channel = Feishu.
3. Fill Feishu App ID and Feishu App Secret, then save once in PalmClaw.
4. In Feishu Open Platform:
   • enable Bot capability,
   • in Events & Callbacks, select Long Connection,
   • add im.message.receive_v1,
   • in Permission Management, add im:message and im:message.p2p_msg:readonly,
   • if you test in a group by @-mentioning the bot, also add im:message.group_at_msg:readonly.
5. Publish the app, open it in Feishu, and confirm/save the Long Connection configuration while PalmClaw is running.
6. Send one message to the bot from Feishu.
7. Re-open session settings and tap Detect Chats.
8. Select the detected conversation:
   • private chats bind to open_id (ou_...)
   • group chats bind to chat_id (oc_...)
9. Optional: add Allowed Open IDs.
10. Save again if you changed the detected target.

Encrypt Key and Verification Token are optional for Long Connection mode and can stay blank unless your app setup requires them.

If outbound works but inbound does not, re-check the receive permission, im.message.receive_v1, the publish/open step, and the Long Connection confirmation step.

Email Setup

1. Open target session settings from sidebar.
2. Set Channel = Email.
3. Turn Consent Granted on.
4. Fill IMAP settings:
   • IMAP Host
   • IMAP Port
   • IMAP Username
   • IMAP Password
5. Fill SMTP settings:
   • SMTP Host
   • SMTP Port
   • SMTP Username
   • SMTP Password
   • From Address
6. Optional: disable Auto Reply if the mailbox should only ingest mail and not answer automatically.

8. Send one email to the bot mailbox from the target sender address.
9. Tap Detect Senders.
10. Select the detected sender address.
11. Save again if you changed the detected target.

Recommended Gmail defaults:

• imap.gmail.com:993
• smtp.gmail.com:587
• use an app password after enabling 2-Step Verification
• From Address should match the mailbox account

WeCom Setup

1. Open target session settings from sidebar.

Binding note:

• Prefer detect-driven binding after inbound traffic appears in diagnostics.
• Manual target ID is fallback only.

Expected Runtime Behavior

• Telegram -> Session:
  • inbound message routes to the bound local session,
  • local session shows processing state,
  • Telegram shows typing while processing,
  • final response is sent back to Telegram.
• Discord -> Session:
  • inbound message routes to the bound local session,
  • local session shows processing state,
  • Discord shows typing while processing,
  • final response is sent back to Discord.
• Slack -> Session:
  • inbound message routes to the bound local session,
  • local session shows processing state,
  • Slack final response is sent back to the same bound channel.
• Feishu -> Session:
  • inbound message routes to the bound local session,
  • local session shows processing state,
  • final response is sent back to the same bound Feishu target.
• WeCom -> Session:
  • inbound message routes to the bound local session,
  • local session shows processing state,
  • final response is sent back to the same WeCom target.
• Email -> Session:
  • unread inbound mail is polled from the configured mailbox,
  • matching sender mail routes to the bound local session,
  • local session shows processing state,
  • final response is sent back via SMTP when auto reply is enabled.
• Local -> Telegram in the same bound session:
  • local session keeps full history,
  • final response is mirrored to Telegram (unless already sent by message tool in-turn).
• Local -> Discord in the same bound session:
  • local session keeps full history,
  • final response is mirrored to Discord (unless already sent by message tool in-turn).
• Local -> Slack in the same bound session:
  • local session keeps full history,
  • final response is mirrored to Slack (unless already sent by message tool in-turn).
• Local -> Feishu in the same bound session:
  • local session keeps full history,
  • final response is mirrored to Feishu (unless already sent by message tool in-turn).
• Local -> WeCom in the same bound session:
  • local session keeps full history,
  • final response is mirrored to WeCom when the session still has a valid reply route or active target binding.
• Local -> Email in the same bound session:
  • local session keeps full history,
  • final response is emailed back to the bound sender address when auto reply is enabled or when an explicit outbound send is requested.

Quick Verification

• Session row shows <channel>:<chat_id>.
• Global Channels page lists the session as connected.
• Bidirectional message flow works in the same session.

Recovery

• Detect returns empty: send a message to the bot first, then detect again.
• Inbound not routed: verify saved chat ID matches incoming chat ID.
• No outbound: verify channels gateway is enabled and this session has token + chat ID.
• Discord group no response: mention the bot once in that channel (default mention policy).
• Slack no response in channels: use mention mode and mention the bot once; verify Socket Mode and tokens.
• Feishu detect empty: save App ID / Secret first so long connection can start, then send a bot message and detect again.
• Email detect empty: save mailbox credentials first so polling can start, then send one unread email to the bot mailbox and detect again.
• Email no outbound: verify SMTP host/port/username/password, and check whether Auto Reply is enabled for reply flows.
• WeCom detect empty: save Bot ID / Secret first so long connection can start, then send a WeCom message to the bot and detect again.
