Dependencies
- Requires an active subscription and valid API key credential for the external "N8N Tools API" service that acts as a proxy/validation layer.
- Requires credentials for authenticating with the WeChat Official Account API.
- The node internally uses a helper class to interact with the WeChat API endpoints.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid subscription or API key: If the node throws an error indicating invalid subscription or API key, verify that the API key credential configured in n8n is correct and active.
- Unsupported operation error: Ensure that the selected resource is "Official Account" and the operation is "Send Text Message".
- User Open ID issues: If the message fails to send, confirm that the provided Open ID corresponds to a valid user subscribed to your Official Account.
- API rate limits or permissions: Sending messages may be subject to WeChat API rate limits or permission restrictions; check your WeChat Official Account settings and quotas.
