Even with the increased popularity of the WeChat Mini Program, WeChat OfficialAccount is still a widely used product among marketing users for broadcasting newsletters or articles. It's important to continue to utilise the Official Account platform as the gateway to introducing the mini program. There are different ways to integrate the Mini Program with the WeChat Official Account Platform:
- Embed Mini Program on the Auto Response and Keyword Response with <a> tag
- Customise the menus on the Official Account to launch the mini program
- Insert Mini Program on the WeChat articles
Requirement
Before we start any Mini Program set up, we need to make sure we have both accounts, the Official Account and Mini Program Accounts are linked. You can confirm this by login into the WeChat platform with your official account credential. Navigate to the "Business Development" > "MiniProgram Manage" page to verify if your mini program is showing in the list as per the page below.
If the mini program is not showing in the list, you need to click on "Add" green button to link the mini program.
If you are an administrator, you can use the WeChat App to scan the QR Code at Step 1, and copy the WeChat Mini Program APP ID and paste it into the search box below. You can easily retrieve the APP ID through the Viva City Admin portal.
Click the "Next" button to complete the linking between the Official Account and the Mini program.
