How to Implement Enterprise WeChat Notifications with Python

Enterprise WeChat provides several notification channels such as email, SMS, phone and WeChat; the latter (especially the corporate version) is most convenient for alert‑type messages. This article demonstrates how to send such alerts to enterprise members using a Python program.

1. Create an Application

Log in to the web version of Enterprise WeChat (https://work.weixin.qq.com), navigate to Application Management → Application → Create Application , upload a logo, set the application name (e.g., "Bond New Issue"), and define the visible scope.

After creation, you can view the corp ID (enterprise identifier) and the application secret (app‑level key) in the application details page.

2. Obtain Token and Send Requests

The two essential API endpoints are:

Get token: https://qyapi.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/gettoken?corpid={corpid}&corpsecret={secret}

Send message: https://qyapi.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/message/send?access_token={token}

The corpid uniquely identifies the enterprise, while the secret tells the API which application to use.

3. Python Implementation

<code>import json
import time
import requests

CORP_ID = "xxxx"
SECRET = "xxxx"

class WeChatPub:
    s = requests.session()

    def __init__(self):
        self.token = self.get_token()

    def get_token(self):
        url = f"https://qyapi.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/gettoken?corpid={CORP_ID}&amp;corpsecret={SECRET}"
        rep = self.s.get(url)
        if rep.status_code != 200:
            print("request failed.")
            return
        return json.loads(rep.content)["access_token"]

    def send_msg(self, content):
        url = "https://qyapi.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/message/send?access_token=" + self.token
        header = {"Content-Type": "application/json"}
        form_data = {
            "touser": "FengXianMei",  # recipient
            "toparty": "1",           # department
            "totag": " TagID1 | TagID2 ",  # tag IDs
            "msgtype": "textcard",
            "agentid": 1000002,        # application ID
            "textcard": {
                "title": "债券打新提醒",
                "description": content,
                "url": "URL",
                "btntxt": "更多"
            },
            "safe": 0
        }
        rep = self.s.post(url, data=json.dumps(form_data).encode('utf-8'), headers=header)
        if rep.status_code != 200:
            print("request failed.")
            return
        return json.loads(rep.content)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    wechat = WeChatPub()
    timenow = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", time.localtime())
    wechat.send_msg(f"<div class=\"gray\">{timenow}</div> <div class=\"normal\">注意！</div><div class=\"highlight\">今日有新债，坚持打新！</div>")
    print('消息已发送！')
</code>

4. Result

The script sends a formatted text‑card message to the specified users; screenshots of the successful notification are shown below.
