Streamlining WeChat Official Account Article Editing

I’ve been running my WeChat official account again for the past two months and have summarized some efficiency tips for WeChat article editing to share with everyone.

Third-Party WeChat Markdown Editor

The official editor is user-unfriendly and full of bugs. To improve efficiency and article formatting aesthetics, I recommend a free online Markdown editor that you can access directly. If you encounter a white screen when accessing it, it’s likely a network issue. Try resolving network problems, or if that doesn’t work, you can clone the project directly for private deployment.

• GitHub Repository
• Gitee Repository
• GitCode Repository

Editor Configuration Settings

When actually using the above editor, there are some settings I personally think you should enable to make articles more user-friendly.

1. Convert external WeChat links to bottom references
2. Display word count and reading time statistics

Inserting Official Account Cards

In many WeChat official account articles, you’ll see account cards that better encourage user subscriptions. How do you implement this in this editor? Here’s the method.

When editing articles, paste the following code at the end of your article in the editor. When you copy the entire article to the WeChat official editor, it will recognize the corresponding account and you can click to convert it.

Pro Tip - Text Snippet

To conveniently add the official account card to the end of every article, I use Alfred snippets to save the above code fragment with the keyword wxcard. This way, typing wxcard in the editor automatically expands to the account card code. You can also achieve similar functionality with Apple’s built-in text replacement or Raycast.

Daily Editing Workflow

After introducing the key techniques above, the entire workflow is summarized as follows:

1. Edit MD articles locally
2. Copy to third-party editor and click copy
3. Paste into official WeChat account editor
4. Click preview, check on mobile, and publish according to schedule once confirmed

Final Thoughts

These are my efficiency tips for WeChat official account editing. I welcome everyone to discuss together. I hope this helps you.
