Connect WeChat
Link a personal WeChat account to a Buda agent by scanning a QR code — no app registration or credentials required.
Chat with your agent right inside WeChat. Buda connects by scanning a QR code — there's no app to register, no App ID, and no secret to copy. Just scan and start.
Scanning the QR code takes over the account. Connecting WeChat logs Buda in as that personal account — anyone who messages it gets an automatic reply, as if the owner sent it. Use a dedicated WeChat account, never your personal one.
Connect the account
Add the channel in Buda
Open Settings → Channels, click Add Channel, and select WeChat. There are no credential fields to fill in — optionally set a label, then click Connect. A QR code appears on screen.
Scan the QR code
Scan the on-screen code using the dedicated WeChat account. Once you confirm the login in WeChat, the dialog shows Connected and the channel becomes active.
Test it
From a different WeChat account, message the connected account with Hi. Once Buda replies, you're set.
What's supported
- Direct messages only. The connected account replies to 1:1 conversations; there's no group-chat support today.
- Text, images, files, audio, and video — inbound media is uploaded to the agent's Drive, and the agent can send files, images, and video back.
/new— send/new(optionally followed by a message) to start a fresh agent session in that conversation.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
| QR code expired | QR codes are time-limited (a few minutes). Return to channel settings and start the scan again |
| Session expired / channel went inactive | WeChat periodically invalidates the login session. Reconnect the channel and scan again |
| Used your personal account | Delete the channel, then reconnect and scan with a dedicated account instead |
