# Connect QQ via QQ Official Bot (Webhook) > [!WARNING] > 1. QQ Official Bot currently requires an IP whitelist. > 2. Webhook mode requires a server with a public IP, a domain, and HTTPS access. > 3. It supports group chat, private chat, channel chat, and channel private chat. ## Supported Basic Message Types > Version v4.19.6. | Message Type | Receive | Send | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Text | Yes | Yes | | | Image | Yes | Yes | | | Voice | Yes | Yes | | | Video | Yes | Yes | | | File | Yes | Yes | | Proactive message push: Supported. ## 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. ![unified_webhook](https://files.astrbot.app/docs/source/images/use/unified-webhook.png) ### 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. ![QQ Official Bot recommended group chat settings](/qqofficial-group-recommended-config.png) ## Manually Apply for a QQ Bot (Not Recommended) ### Apply for a Bot Open [QQ Official Bot](https://q.qq.com) 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: ![image](https://files.astrbot.app/docs/source/images/qqofficial/image.png) ### 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. ![image](https://files.astrbot.app/docs/source/images/qqofficial/image-1.png) ### 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. ![image](https://files.astrbot.app/docs/source/images/qqofficial/image-3.png) > [!TIP] > If you do not know your server IP, run `curl ifconfig.me` or check [ip138.com](https://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. ![image](https://files.astrbot.app/docs/source/images/webhook/image.png) 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: 2. Configure reverse proxy: Caddy can automatically apply TLS certificates for Webhook access.
