Wechat Work Node

Overview

This node integrates with Wechat Work (企业微信) to perform various operations related to user and resource management within an enterprise environment. Specifically, the "Userid转openid" operation converts a given internal user ID (userid) into the corresponding OpenID, which is often required for messaging or API calls that use OpenIDs instead of internal user IDs.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Sending messages or notifications to users via their OpenID.
  • Integrating Wechat Work user data with other systems that require OpenIDs.
  • Automating workflows that need to map internal user identifiers to OpenIDs.

Example: Given a userid of an employee in your enterprise directory, you can convert it to their OpenID to send them a targeted message through Wechat Work APIs.

Properties

Name Meaning
*用户ID The internal member ID within the enterprise whose OpenID you want to retrieve. This is a required string input.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the result of the conversion from userid to openid. The exact structure depends on the Wechat Work API response but typically includes fields such as the OpenID associated with the provided userid.

If the operation fails, the output will contain an error message describing the issue.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires valid Wechat Work API credentials including a corporate ID and secret to authenticate API requests.
  • The node uses an API token obtained via these credentials to call Wechat Work endpoints.
  • Proper configuration of these credentials in n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or expired API credentials leading to authentication failures.
    • Providing a userid that does not exist or is incorrect, resulting in errors or empty responses.
    • Network connectivity problems preventing API calls.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors usually indicate invalid credentials; verify and update the API key and secret.
    • "未实现方法" (method not implemented) error if the requested resource-operation combination is not supported by the node.
    • API rate limits or permission errors from Wechat Work may also cause failures.
  • Resolution tips:

    • Double-check the userid input for correctness.
    • Ensure the API credentials have sufficient permissions.
    • Enable "Continue On Fail" option in the node settings to handle errors gracefully during batch processing.
