Set the custom menu of the WeChat official account

When a WeChat follower sends a message to your WeChat official account, you can reply to the message on the Conversations page.

Follow-up

You can also set a welcome message using the auto-reply to new followers feature on the Channels page. When a WeChat user follows your WeChat official account for the first time, your WeChat official account will automatically reply the welcome message.

If you are a developer, you can also use the callback mode to bind your WeChat official account to Hyphenate Customer Engagement Cloud, or you can add an H5 web page to the custom menu of your WeChat official account. For more information, see WeChat Integration.
