WeChat Send

Automate sending text messages and images/files in the macOS WeChat desktop app by controlling the UI via AppleScript and JXA. This is NOT a WeChat chat channel for OpenClaw — it controls the WeChat GUI on your Mac to send messages on your behalf. Use when: (1) user asks to send a WeChat message to someone, (2) notifying a WeChat contact, (3) batch messaging multiple contacts. Requires: WeChat for Mac installed, logged in, and window visible. macOS Accessibility permission granted to node. NOT for: reading or receiving WeChat messages, group chat management (beyond sending), or using WeChat as a conversation channel with OpenClaw.

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 scripts:

# Send text
bash scripts/wechat_send.sh "<contact_name>" "<message>"

# Send an image (or any file attachable by WeChat)
bash scripts/wechat_send_image.sh "<contact_name>" "/path/to/image.png"

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"

# Send a screenshot
bash scripts/wechat_send_image.sh "Family" "/Users/you/Desktop/screen.png"

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)
  • Image/file sending depends on WeChat accepting paste-from-clipboard as an attachment (works for common formats like PNG/JPG)
  • 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
