FAQ

Questions DingTalk owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I get my DingTalk App Key and App Secret?

    Log in to the DingTalk Developer Console, create an Internal Enterprise Application, then navigate to App Information > Credentials to find your AppKey and AppSecret. Make sure your application has the required API permissions (User Management, Department Management, Attendance, Approval) before using these capabilities.

  • 02

    Can I send messages to external contacts or only internal employees?

    This MCP server uses Internal Enterprise Application authentication, which means it can only send messages to users within your organization's DingTalk tenant. For external contacts or customer notifications, you would need a different DingTalk application type with extended permissions. All user IDs must belong to employees in your enterprise directory.

  • 03

    How does the attendance tracking work? What data can I retrieve?

    The attendance capability retrieves check-in/check-out records from DingTalk's attendance system. For each record, you get the user ID, timestamp, checkout type (上班签到=check-in, 下班签退=check-out), location information, and whether the attendance was normal or abnormal (late, early leave, missing punch). Date ranges are specified in YYYY-MM-DD format. This data integrates with DingTalk's physical attendance devices and mobile check-in features.
