Create a QQ Bot in AstrBot with One-click QR Setup (Recommended)

Setup Flow

1. In AstrBot WebUI, click Bots in the left sidebar, then click + Create Bot.
2. Select QQ Official Bot (Webhook).
3. Under Choose setup method, select One-click QR setup, click start, then scan the QR code with mobile QQ.
4. After confirming the QR binding, click Save.
5. Configure DNS and a reverse proxy for your server so HTTPS requests are forwarded to AstrBot's 6185 port.
6. Go back to the QQ Open Platform bot management page, open Development -> Callback Configuration, and enter the Webhook callback URL generated by AstrBot.
7. Select the callback events you need. To receive full group messages, make sure the group event GROUP_MESSAGE_CREATE is selected.
8. Save the callback configuration, then restart AstrBot.

TIP

With Unified Webhook Mode, AstrBot generates a unique Webhook callback URL automatically. You can find it in the logs or on the bot card in WebUI.

Use in Group Chats

Add to a Group Chat

Open the created QQ bot profile page (mobile QQ -> Contacts -> Bots tab). You can find Add to group chat near the bottom. Currently, the bot can only be added to groups where you are the group owner.

Set Message Access Scope and Proactive Speaking

In mobile QQ group settings, open the bot settings page. We recommend setting Messages the bot can access to All group messages, and enabling Allow the bot to proactively speak in the group.

With this configuration, the bot can receive full group messages and proactively push messages to the group, such as scheduled task notifications and plugin notifications.

Webhook mode also requires selecting the group event GROUP_MESSAGE_CREATE in QQ Open Platform callback configuration. Otherwise, AstrBot cannot receive full group message events.

Manually Apply for a QQ Bot (Not Recommended)

Apply for a Bot

Open QQ Official Bot and sign in.

Create a bot, fill in name/description/avatar, then submit for review. After security verification passes, creation is complete.

Open the created bot to enter its management page:

Allow Bot in Channel / Group / Private Chat

Open Sandbox Configuration to set a sandbox channel / QQ group / QQ private chat (up to 20 members).

Then configure QQ groups, private chat QQ accounts, and QQ channels as needed.

Get appid and secret

After adding the bot where you need it, open Development -> Development Settings, then copy appid and secret.

If you use AstrBot WebUI's One-click QR setup, you can skip this step. AstrBot fills in appid and secret automatically after QR binding succeeds.

Add IP Whitelist

Open Development -> Development Settings, find IP whitelist, and add your server IP.

TIP

If you do not know your server IP, run curl ifconfig.me or check ip138.com.

In NAT environments without a public IP, the observed IP may change depending on your carrier. Use proxy/tunnel if needed.

Configure in AstrBot

1. Open AstrBot Dashboard.
2. Click Bots in the left sidebar.
3. Click + Create Bot.
4. Select QQ Official Bot (Webhook).

Recommended: use One-click QR setup.

1. Under Choose setup method, select One-click QR setup.
2. Click start, then scan and confirm the QR code with mobile QQ.
3. Wait until the page shows binding success. AstrBot fills in appid and secret automatically.
4. Keep Unified Webhook Mode enabled, adjust ID and other options as needed, then click Save.

If QR setup is unavailable, choose Manual setup and fill in:

• ID (id): any unique identifier.
• Enable (enable): checked.
• appid: from QQ Official Bot platform.
• secret: from QQ Official Bot platform.
• Unified Webhook Mode (unified_webhook_mode): keep enabled.

Click Save.

Configure Reverse Proxy

After saving, configure DNS and reverse proxy for your server. Forward requests to AstrBot's 6185 port. If Unified Webhook Mode is disabled, forward requests to the port configured in the previous step instead.

The Webhook callback URL must be reachable from QQ Open Platform over the public internet and must use HTTPS.

Configure Callback URL and Events

Open Development -> Callback Configuration.

After you save the bot in AstrBot, AstrBot generates a unique Webhook callback URL. You can find it in the logs or on the bot card in WebUI.

Use that URL as the request URL.

Then add callback events. To receive full group messages, select the group event GROUP_MESSAGE_CREATE; also select private chat events, channel events, and other events as needed.

After entering values, move focus out of the input box to trigger validation. If validation passes, the confirm button on the right becomes clickable.

Then restart AstrBot.

Appendix: Reverse Proxy Setup

If you are new to reverse proxy, Caddy is recommended:

1. Install Caddy: https://caddy2.dengxiaolong.com/docs/install
2. Configure reverse proxy: https://caddy2.dengxiaolong.com/docs/quick-starts/reverse-proxy

Caddy can automatically apply TLS certificates for Webhook access.
