## Configure AstrBot

1. Open AstrBot Dashboard, click `Messaging Platforms`, then click `+ Add Adapter`, choose `WeCom AI Bot`.

2. Fill AstrBot fields with values from the WeCom AI Bot create page:

- Bot name
- `token`
- `encoding_aes_key`
- `id` (any unique value)
- `port` (default `6198`, change if needed)

Keep `Unified Webhook Mode (unified_webhook_mode)` enabled and click `Save`.

3. Return to WeCom AI Bot create page and set `URL`:

- If unified mode is enabled, AstrBot generates a unique callback URL after save. Copy it from logs or bot card in WebUI.
- If unified mode is disabled, use `http://IP:port/webhook/wecom-ai-bot`.

> It is recommended to use a domain + reverse proxy + HTTPS. You can also use [Cloudflare Tunnel](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-apps/install-and-setup/tunnel-guide/).

4. Click `Create`. If successful, you will enter bot details page.
If you see `Service did not respond correctly`, re-check AstrBot config and firewall rules.

5. Optional (recommended): Configure WeCom message push Webhook URL.
By default, WeCom AI Bot replies only when users send messages first. Configuring message push enables proactive notifications.

6. Optional (recommended): Enable `Send messages via Webhook only` for richer multi-message output and to bypass single-bubble reply limits.
This option requires the message push Webhook URL from step 5.
