Overview
The WeChat Work - Send Message operation allows sending messages to users or groups within the WeChat Work platform. This node is useful for automating communication workflows, such as notifying team members about updates, sending alerts, or broadcasting information to specific user groups in an enterprise environment.
Practical examples include:
- Sending a project update message to a department.
- Alerting a group of employees about an upcoming meeting.
- Broadcasting company-wide announcements.
This operation expects the message content and metadata to be provided in JSON format, allowing flexible message types supported by WeChat Work.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Message Data | The message payload in JSON format. This should contain all necessary fields defining the message type, recipients, content, and any other parameters required by the WeChat Work API for sending messages. |
Output
The output is a JSON object representing the response from the WeChat Work API after attempting to send the message. It typically includes status information indicating success or failure, message IDs, or error details if the operation did not succeed.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the WeChat Work API via appropriate credentials (e.g., an API key or OAuth token).
- The node optionally validates the subscription and API key against an external service before executing the operation.
- Proper configuration of credentials in n8n is necessary to authenticate requests to WeChat Work.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Credentials or Subscription: If the node throws errors related to invalid subscription or API key, verify that the credentials configured in n8n are correct and have sufficient permissions.
- Malformed Message Data: Since the message data must be valid JSON matching WeChat Work's expected schema, ensure the JSON structure is correct and includes all required fields.
- API Rate Limits or Permissions: Errors may occur if the API rate limits are exceeded or if the authenticated user lacks permission to send messages. Check API usage quotas and user roles.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems can cause request failures. Ensure that n8n has network access to the WeChat Work API endpoints.
