Wechat Official Account Node

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:

  • Automatically publishing scheduled posts or campaigns.
  • Managing content workflows where drafts are created and reviewed before being published.
  • Integrating Wechat content publishing into broader automation pipelines.

Example: A marketing team prepares multiple draft articles in Wechat's backend and uses this node to programmatically publish selected drafts at specific times.

Properties

Name Meaning
草稿ID The media_id of the draft to be published. This is a required string input specifying which draft content should be published.

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the result of the publish operation for each input item. Each output item corresponds to one execution of the publish action and contains the response data from the Wechat API regarding the publishing status.

If an error occurs during publishing and the node is set to continue on failure, the output will include an object with 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 expired media_id: The draft may not exist or has been deleted.
    • Authentication failures due to incorrect or missing API credentials.
    • Network or API rate limiting errors from Wechat.
  • Error messages:

    • If the operation method is not implemented, the node throws an error indicating the missing method for the specified resource-operation pair.
    • Errors during the API call are logged and either cause the node to fail or, if configured, return an error object in the output for that item.
  • Resolutions:

    • Verify the correctness of the media_id.
    • Ensure valid and active API credentials are configured.
    • Check network connectivity and Wechat API status.
    • Use the "Continue On Fail" option to handle partial failures gracefully.
