WeChat Enhanced

Overview

The "WeChat Enhanced" node provides comprehensive integration with various WeChat services, including Mini Programs, Official Accounts, WeChat Pay, and WeChat Work. Specifically for the WeChat Work resource and the Update User operation, this node allows users to update existing user information within a WeChat Work organization.

This operation is useful in scenarios where employee or member details need to be kept current, such as updating contact information, job titles, departments, or other profile attributes managed in WeChat Work. For example, HR systems can automate synchronization of personnel changes by pushing updates directly to WeChat Work via this node.

Properties

The User Data property expects a JSON object representing the user information to update. This JSON should conform to the WeChat Work API's expected user update schema.

Output

• The node outputs a JSON object representing the response from the WeChat Work API after attempting to update the user.
• The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes success status, updated user details, or error information if the update failed.
• No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an active subscription and valid API key credential for the external "N8N Tools API" service that acts as a proxy or validation layer.
• Requires credentials for accessing WeChat Work APIs (e.g., OAuth2 tokens or API keys), configured in n8n.
• The node internally uses a helper class (WeChatApi) to interact with WeChat Work endpoints.
• Proper permissions in the WeChat Work account are necessary to perform user updates.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid Subscription or API Key: If the node throws an error about invalid subscription or API key, verify that the N8N Tools API credentials are correct and active.
• Unsupported Operation Error: If the operation name is incorrect or not supported, ensure the operation parameter is set exactly to "updateUser" for the WeChat Work resource.
• Malformed User Data: Errors may occur if the JSON provided in User Data is invalid or missing required fields. Validate the JSON format and required fields according to WeChat Work API documentation.
• Permission Denied: If the API returns permission errors, check that the credentials have sufficient rights to update user information in the WeChat Work organization.
• Network or API Errors: General HTTP or connectivity issues can cause failures; verify network access and WeChat Work API availability.
