Fix Action

Fix / Workaround

  • Modifying node_modules directly — gets wiped on every update (current workaround)
  • Forking the plugin — high maintenance burden

Code Example

{
  "channels": {
    "feishu": {
      "resolveSenderNames": true,
      "senderNameMap": {
        "ou_xxxxxxxx": "星",
        "ou_yyyyyyyy": "秋"
      }
    }
  }
}

Problem

When using the Feishu channel, resolveSenderNames: true queries the Feishu API to get user display names. However:

  1. Some organizations have limited API permissions and cannot fetch user names
  2. Users may want to override or customize how sender names are displayed
  3. Currently there is no way to provide custom name mappings for specific open_ids

Feature Request

Add a native configuration option for sender name alias mapping, something like:

{
  "channels": {
    "feishu": {
      "resolveSenderNames": true,
      "senderNameMap": {
        "ou_xxxxxxxx": "星",
        "ou_yyyyyyyy": "秋"
      }
    }
  }
}

This would allow:

  • Fallback mapping when API calls fail
  • Custom display names that override or supplement API results
  • No need for users to modify source code

Alternatives Considered

  • Modifying node_modules directly — gets wiped on every update (current workaround)
  • Forking the plugin — high maintenance burden

Environment

  • OpenClaw version: [latest]
  • Feishu plugin
  • Channel: Feishu (both DM and group)

extent analysis

TL;DR

Implement a custom sender name mapping configuration option to override or supplement Feishu API results.

Guidance

  • Introduce a new configuration option, such as senderNameMap, to allow users to define custom name mappings for specific open_ids.
  • Update the Feishu channel to use the custom mapping when resolveSenderNames is true and the API call fails or when a custom mapping is provided.
  • Consider adding a fallback mechanism to use the custom mapping when the API call fails to fetch user names.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of implementing this feature as a plugin or configuration option to avoid modifying the core code.

Example

{
  "channels": {
    "feishu": {
      "resolveSenderNames": true,
      "senderNameMap": {
        "ou_xxxxxxxx": "星",
        "ou_yyyyyyyy": "秋"
      }
    }
  }
}

Notes

The proposed solution assumes that the Feishu API is the primary source of user names and that the custom mapping is used as a fallback or override. The implementation details may vary depending on the specific requirements and constraints of the OpenClaw and Feishu plugin architecture.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement the custom sender name mapping configuration option to provide a flexible and maintainable solution for users with limited API permissions or custom name mapping requirements.
