WeChat Send

Send messages to WeChat contacts by automating the macOS WeChat desktop app.

Prerequisites

  • WeChat for Mac installed and logged in
  • macOS Accessibility permission granted to node (System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility)
  • WeChat window must be open (not minimized to dock)

Usage

Run the script:

bash scripts/wechat_send.sh "<contact_name>" "<message>"

Examples

# Send a simple message
bash scripts/wechat_send.sh "Ryan" "你好！"

# Send a longer message
bash scripts/wechat_send.sh "Ellison" "明天下午3点开会，别忘了带文件"

How It Works

  1. Activates WeChat and opens search (Cmd+F)
  2. Types the contact name, selects the first result (Enter), closes search (Escape)
  3. Clicks the message input field using JXA CGEvent mouse simulation
  4. Pastes the message from clipboard (Cmd+V) and sends (Enter)

Limitations

  • Contact name must exactly match a WeChat contact (first search result is selected)
  • Cannot send images or files (text only)
  • Cannot read incoming messages
  • WeChat window position affects click coordinates (auto-calculated from window bounds)
  • If the contact search returns wrong results, the message goes to the wrong person — use specific names
  • Only one message at a time; for multiple recipients, call the script multiple times

Troubleshooting

  • Message not sent: Ensure WeChat window is visible (not minimized) and the correct contact was found
  • Accessibility error: Re-grant node permission in System Settings → Accessibility, then restart the gateway
  • Wrong contact: Use a more specific name to avoid ambiguous search results
