Using GitHub Actions to Send Daily WeChat Template Messages for a Personal Morning Reminder

This guide walks you through building a free daily WeChat public‑account push notification using a test account and GitHub Actions.

1. Apply for a WeChat public platform test account . Visit the sandbox login page and scan the QR code to log in:

申请地址：https://mp.weixin.qq.com/debug/cgi-bin/sandbox?t=sandbox/login

After logging in you will obtain a test appID and appsecret.

Follow the page to add the test account as a follower; the user’s nickname and USER_ID will appear in the user list.

2. Create a template message . Click “Add new test template” and define a template such as:

今天天气：{{ weather.DATA }}

湿度：{{ humidity.DATA }}

当前温度：{{ temperature.DATA }}

我们已经相恋 {{ love_days.DATA }} 天啦

距离你的生日还有：{{ birthday_left.DATA }} 天

{{ words.DATA }}

Submit the template to obtain a unique template ID.

3. Prepare the GitHub Actions scheduled task . Fork the repository 13812851221/-rxrw-daily_morning to your own account.

In your forked repo, go to Settings → Secrets → Actions and add the following secrets exactly as shown in the WeChat test account (appID, appsecret, template ID, etc.).

Repeat the process for each required secret; missing or malformed values will cause the workflow to fail (error 41004 indicates a missing appsecret).

4. Enable and run the Action . Open the Actions tab in your repository, enable the workflow, and trigger a run.

The workflow will execute at the scheduled time (default 08:00 AM) and send the template message to the test account. A successful run shows a “completed” status after a short wait.

Check the recipient’s phone to confirm the push has arrived. You can customize the template content or schedule as needed.
