Connect Dify to QQ Official Bot

This recipe puts your Dify app behind a QQ Official Bot bot. LangBot receives messages from QQ Official Bot, runs them through a pipeline, and sends the answer back, so you do not write any platform code.

Dify builds chat assistants, Chatflows, Agents and Workflows. LangBot calls the published app through its Service API, so prompts, tools and knowledge stay in Dify.

What you need

• A running LangBot instance: LangBot Cloud (no server needed) or a self-hosted deployment with Docker or uvx langbot.
• A Dify account or instance that LangBot can reach over the network.
• A bot registered on the QQ Open Platform: AppID, Token and AppSecret, with LangBot's server IP in the IP whitelist.

Networking

The QQ Official Bot API (webhook) requires a public IP and working HTTPS. LangBot Cloud includes a public domain.

1. Prepare Dify

1. Build and publish a Chat Assistant (including Chatflow), Agent or Workflow app in Dify.
2. Open the app's Access API page and create an API key.
3. For a Workflow app, output the answer under the key summary.

2. Create a pipeline

Open Pipelines in the LangBot WebUI, create a pipeline (or edit the default one) and set AI as follows. If the runner is not listed, install the official runner plugin from Plugins or the LangBot Space marketplace.

3. Create the QQ Official Bot bot

1. Create a bot with the QQ Official adapter and enter AppID, Token and AppSecret.
2. Copy the bot's webhook callback URL, replace the host with your HTTPS domain, and save it as the request address in the QQ management portal. Add test users in the sandbox settings.

4. Bind and test

Open the bot, select the pipeline you created, save and make sure the bot is enabled.

As a sandbox member, message the bot in a private chat or @mention it in a sandbox group.

Troubleshooting

• Self-hosted Dify in Docker on the same host: put both stacks on a shared Docker network and use the container address (for example http://dify-nginx/v1), not localhost.
• Chatflow apps only return what the Answer node outputs.
• Saving the request address fails: the domain is not reachable over HTTPS or the path does not end with /bots/<bot id>.
• Check Monitoring in the WebUI: every message, pipeline run and error is recorded there.
