On the WeChat public platform, there is a template message reply interface: it can be used to reply to specific messages - for example, after the user places an order, reply to the user that your order is being processed...such as the following Picture:

After the user performs some operations, the service account can return a specific message - this is a template message.

To implement replying to template messages, your public account must be certified by WeChat. If it is a personal subscription account, WeChat certification is not supported for the time being. However, it does not affect testing ----- you can use the testing official account:

When using a test account, I won’t go into the configuration of the interface information. You can refer to my previous blog.

After using the QR code to log in to the test account, you need to use your WeChat account to follow the test account, otherwise you will not see the reply to the template message.

When I was doing the test, I used a plug-in for the Chrome browser: postman. This plug-in can specify to send various HTTP requests such as GET and POST. It is powerful and useful when testing interfaces.

1. Send a GET request to obtain the access_token of the test account: https://api.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/token?grant_type=client_credential&appid=your test account appID&secret=your test account appsecret

2. Set the industry:

Send a POST request with parameters:

Request: https://api.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/template/api_set_industry?access_token=the access_token you just got

Parameters:

 {
     "industry_id1":"1",
     "industry_id2":"2"
    }

1 and 2 in the parameters indicate the industry to which they belong. For specific industries, please refer to the document: http://mp.weixin.qq.com/wiki/12/bd383158b0f8435c07b8b6bc7cdbac9c.html

To specifically send a post request, you can use curl to send it, which should not be difficult. I use postman to send. After the sending is completed, a successful json message is returned, and then you can proceed to the next step

3. Obtain the template ID: You can customize this area, or you can use some built-in ones in WeChat.

For example, use a custom template ID: There is a "New Test Template" in your test account

After submitting, you can see your template ID appear:

Then another way to generate a template ID is to send a post request (can be sent with curl or sent with postman)

Request: https://api.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/template/api_add_template?access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN

Parameters:

 {
      "template_id_short":"TM00015"
    }

The TM00015 is the ID of the template built into WeChat. You can find it in the graphical interface of https://mp.weixin.qq.com (WeChat authentication required)

4. After obtaining the template ID, refresh your test account page and you will see:

5. Use the template_id_short you got and send another post request to get a msgid:

Request: https://api.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/message/template/send?access_token=your access_token

Data sent:

 {
      "touser":"測試號的關(guān)注者的openId",
      "template_id":"你剛才得到的模板ID",
      "url":"關(guān)注者點擊你的模板消息時跳轉(zhuǎn)的鏈接",      
      "data":{
          "first": {
            "value":"恭喜你購買成功！",
            "color":"#173177"
          },
          "orderMoneySum":{
            "value":"666",
            "color":"#173177"
          },
          "orderProductName": {
            "value":"男士正裝",
            "color":"#173177"
          },
          "Remark":{
            "value":"歡迎再次購買！",
            "color":"#173177"
          }
      }
    }

color represents the color of the fields in your template

The above parameters are not explained in the official document. I wrote the meaning of each field in Chinese above. It should be noted that touser is not the "WeChat ID" of the follower on the WeChat client, but The WeChat ID in the picture below

After sending the parameters using post method, you will get a msgid:

When you get this successful response, at the same time, your test public account should also return a template message to you (follower)

This article only introduces how to make a template message. If you want to use it in your project, please read the WeChat developer documentation and do it together with advanced functions such as micropayment and event push.

The above is the entire content of this article. I hope it will be helpful to everyone’s study. I also hope that everyone will support Script House.
