Case 00474

Feishu Cron Delivery

Use this skill to make OpenClaw cron jobs reliably send proactive messages to Feishu.

Core rule

For strong-SLA Feishu delivery, do not use:

• sessionTarget: "main" + payload.kind: "systemEvent"
• delivery.channel: "last" as the final production route

Use this validated pattern instead:

• sessionTarget: "isolated"
• payload.kind: "agentTurn"
• delivery.mode: "announce"
• delivery.channel: "feishu"
• delivery.accountId: <accountId>
• delivery.to: user:<open_id> or another explicit Feishu destination

What to check first

1. Run openclaw cron list --json.
2. Identify whether the job is:
   • a main-session system event job, or
   • an isolated agent-turn job.
3. Inspect the last run state:
   • lastDeliveryStatus: not-requested usually means it never entered outbound delivery.
   • status/error with Feishu 400 usually means delivery was attempted but the route/payload was rejected.

Repair workflow

Case 1: Job uses main + systemEvent

Treat it as an internal wakeup pattern, not user-visible delivery.

Repair it by changing to:

• --session isolated
• --message "..."
• --announce
• --channel feishu
• --account <id>
• --to user:<open_id>

Case 2: Job uses isolated + announce + channel:last

Treat last as debugging-only for Feishu. If it fails or returns 400, replace it with explicit routing:

• --channel feishu
• --account <id>
• --to user:<open_id>

Case 3: Delivery should stay internal

Use:

• --session isolated
• --message "..."
• --no-deliver

or set delivery.mode: "none".

Validation workflow

After creating or editing a Feishu cron job:

1. Create a one-shot smoke test with explicit Feishu routing.
2. Use scripts/create_smoke_test.py if you want a deterministic command generator.
3. Wait for the scheduled time.
4. Confirm the user actually received the Feishu message.
5. Check openclaw cron runs --id <job-id>.

Successful validation means:

• user received the message in Feishu
• run status is ok
• delivery is not not-requested

Recommended CLI patterns

One-shot smoke test

openclaw cron add \
  --name "Feishu delivery smoke test" \
  --at "2026-04-04T14:32:30" \
  --tz "Asia/Shanghai" \
  --session isolated \
  --message "在本轮只输出这一句话：主动消息链路测试。" \
  --announce \
  --channel feishu \
  --account default \
  --to "user:OPEN_ID" \
  --delete-after-run

Recurring 15-minute report

openclaw cron add \
  --name "xhs-progress-15m" \
  --cron "*/15 * * * *" \
  --tz "Asia/Shanghai" \
  --session isolated \
  --message "请输出一份发给老姚的中文进度报告..." \
  --announce \
  --channel feishu \
  --account default \
  --to "user:OPEN_ID"

09:00 morning summary

openclaw cron add \
  --name "daily-memory-report-0900" \
  --cron "0 9 * * *" \
  --tz "Asia/Shanghai" \
  --session isolated \
  --message "请向老姚发送一份中文晨报..." \
  --announce \
  --channel feishu \
  --account default \
  --to "user:OPEN_ID"

When to keep a separate internal job

Split internal work from user-visible delivery when needed:

• 04:00 internal memory distillation → delivery.mode: none
• 09:00 outward user summary → explicit Feishu announce delivery

This avoids confusing internal maintenance with outward delivery.

Packaging notes

Before publishing:

• replace any user-specific identifiers with placeholders
• keep examples parameterized (OPEN_ID, ACCOUNT_ID)
• run the smoke test workflow locally once
• validate and package the skill
