Wechat Official Account Node

Wechat Official Account Node

Overview

This node integrates with the Wechat Official Account platform, allowing users to perform various operations related to Wechat official accounts. Specifically, for the "其他" (Other) resource and the "获取长信息" (Fetch Long Information) operation, it retrieves detailed or extended information based on a provided short key. This can be useful in scenarios where you have a shortened identifier or key and need to fetch the full associated data from Wechat.

Practical examples include:

  • Expanding a short message key to retrieve the full message content.
  • Fetching detailed user or message information that is referenced by a short key.
  • Integrating Wechat long message retrieval into automated workflows for customer support or marketing.

Properties

Name Meaning
短Key The short key string used to fetch the corresponding long or detailed information. This is a required input.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the fetched long information corresponding to the provided short key. Each item in the output array contains the detailed data retrieved from Wechat's official account service.

If an error occurs during fetching, and the node is set to continue on failure, the output will include an error object with the error message for the respective item.

No binary data output is indicated in the source code.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API authentication token or API key credential configured in n8n for accessing the Wechat Official Account API.
  • Depends on internal helper modules for resource and operation management.
  • The node uses the wechatOfficialAccountCredentialsApi credential type (generic reference: an API key credential for Wechat Official Account).

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or expired short key may result in errors or empty responses.
    • Missing or incorrect API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Network connectivity issues can prevent successful API calls.
  • Error messages:

    • "未实现方法: 其他.获取长信息" ("Unimplemented method: Other.Fetch Long Information") indicates the requested operation is not supported or not properly loaded.
    • Errors thrown during the API call are logged and, if continueOnFail is enabled, returned as part of the output with an error message field.
  • Resolutions:

    • Verify the short key value is correct and valid.
    • Ensure API credentials are correctly set up and have necessary permissions.
    • Check network connectivity and API endpoint availability.
    • Enable continueOnFail to handle partial failures gracefully in batch executions.
