Instant Messaging

You don't need to be at your computer to assign work to Manager. By connecting Telegram, Slack, or Feishu, you can send messages to Manager anytime, anywhere using familiar chat tools. Manager turns your messages into structured tasks and starts executing them—capture an idea while scrolling on your phone, and come back later to see the result.

Supported Instant Messaging Platforms

Each platform requires creating a Bot in its developer console, then completing pairing in Verdent. Once connected, any message you send to the Bot is forwarded directly to Manager.

Connection Flow

The connection process has two stages:

1. Enter Token — credentials setup
2. Send Message for Pairing — link the Bot to Manager

Everything is configured in the channel settings page in Manager's sidebar.

How to Access Setup

Telegram Setup

Stage 1: Create Bot and Get Token

Stage 2: Message Pairing

Slack Setup

Stage 1: Create Slack App and Get Tokens

Stage 2: Message Pairing

Same as Telegram: send a message to the bot, receive the pairing code, then enter it in Verdent to complete the connection.

Feishu Setup

Feishu takes a few more steps than Telegram or Slack—permissions are configured separately, and events must be subscribed manually. It isn't complex, but every step has to be done correctly, or the connection will stall. Follow them in order.

Step 1: Create a Custom App

Step 2: Configure Permissions

Open the new app and go to Permissions & Scopes in the left menu.

Feishu supports bulk importing scopes, so you don't have to tick them one by one. Find the bulk import/export entry on the page and paste the following JSON in full:

{
  "scopes": {
    "tenant": [
      "im:message:send_as_bot",
      "im:message",
      "im:resource",
      "im:chat",
      "im:chat:readonly",
      "im:message.p2p_msg:readonly",
      "im:message.group_at_msg:readonly",
      "contact:contact.base:readonly",
      "contact:user.base:readonly",
      "contact:user.employee_id:readonly",
      "docs:document.content:read",
      "wiki:wiki:readonly",
      "application:application:self_manage"
    ],
    "user": []
  }
}

After confirming the import, all of the scopes above should appear as selected in the permission list.

Step 3: Get Credentials and Connect Verdent

Open Credentials & Basic Info in the left menu:

Step 4: Enable Long Connection

Once connected, return to the Feishu Open Platform and open Events & Callbacks.

Turn on Use Long Connection to Receive Events. This switch controls how Feishu delivers messages to the bot—long connection doesn't require you to expose a public URL; it keeps a persistent connection instead, which is more reliable.

Step 5: Subscribe to Message Events and Publish

Still on the Events & Callbacks page:

What Each Permission Does

After Successful Connection

Once paired, the channel appears in Manager's left sidebar channel list and shows:

• Platform icon and channel name
• Connection status (Connected / Disconnected / Needs attention)
• Preview and timestamp of the latest message
• Unread message indicator (green dot)

From this point on, every message sent to the Bot is handled directly by Manager as an executable task.

Managing Connected Channels

• View all channels — all connected IM channels are listed in the sidebar.
• Delete a channel — hover over a channel and click delete, then confirm. If it is the last channel of that type, the bot configuration is also cleared.
• Reconnect — if a channel shows Disconnected or Needs attention, a repair prompt appears at the top for reconfiguration.
