WeChat Send

Overview

1. Activate WeChat and confirm it is the foreground application
2. Use keyboard shortcuts to open search or switch conversations
3. Both the contact name and message content are pasted via the clipboard to avoid input method interception

When to Use

• When users explicitly request to send messages to WeChat contacts via the macOS WeChat client
• When typing Chinese directly is prone to input method interference and must be replaced with clipboard pasting

• Users only need to send messages via Web WeChat
• The target environment is not a macOS desktop

Prerequisites

• WeChat is installed and logged in on macOS
• The runtime environment has been granted Accessibility permissions

Standard Workflow

1. Dependency Check First

python3 scripts/wechat_auto.py doctor

• Whether

  WeChat

  can be launched
• Whether

  osascript

  ,

  pbcopy

  ,

  pbpaste

  are available

2. Send Messages Directly

scripts/send_message "File Transfer Assistant" "Test Message"

python3 scripts/wechat_auto.py send "File Transfer Assistant" "Test Message" --debug --delay 0.8

Quick Commands

• Dependency Check:

python3 scripts/wechat_auto.py doctor

• Send Message:

scripts/send_message "Zhang San" "Hello, this is an automated message"

Common Risks

• Keyboard shortcuts will fail if Accessibility permissions are not granted
• Pasted content will be sent to the wrong application if WeChat is not in the foreground
• If there are duplicate contact names, selecting with just the Enter key may open the wrong conversation
