Wechat Official Account Node

Overview

This node integrates with the Wechat Official Account platform, enabling users to perform various operations related to managing content and interactions on their official account. Specifically, the "发布草稿" (Publish Draft) operation allows users to publish a draft post identified by its media ID. This is useful for automating the process of pushing prepared content live without manual intervention.

Common scenarios include:

• Scheduling or programmatically publishing pre-created drafts.
• Automating content workflows where drafts are created, reviewed, and then published via n8n.
• Integrating Wechat Official Account publishing into broader marketing or communication automation pipelines.

Example: A user prepares multiple article drafts in Wechat's backend, then uses this node to publish selected drafts automatically based on triggers or schedules.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the publish operation for each input item. The structure typically includes success confirmation or error details if the operation failed.

If an error occurs during processing an item and the node is set to continue on failure, the output for that item will contain an error field describing the issue.

No binary data output is indicated in the source code.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Wechat Official Account platform.
• The node depends on internal resource and operation modules dynamically loaded from the resource/*.js files, which implement the actual API calls.
• No additional external services beyond the Wechat Official Account API are indicated.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing media_id: The operation requires a valid draft media ID; providing an incorrect or empty value will cause errors.
  • Authentication failures: Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
  • Network or API errors: Temporary connectivity issues or API rate limits may cause failures.

• Error messages:

  • "未实现方法: 发布.发布草稿" (Not implemented method): Indicates the requested resource-operation combination is not supported or the implementation module is missing.
  • Errors thrown during the call function will be logged with detailed stack traces if debugging is enabled.

• Resolution:

  • Verify the media_id is correct and corresponds to an existing draft.
  • Check API credentials and permissions.
  • Enable "Continue On Fail" to allow partial processing when some items fail.
