Receiving and Handling an Inbound WeChat Interaction

If you are the selected internal target of an inbound WeChat interaction, you receive a notice on your workstation desktop. You can decide to accept or reject the interaction. If you accept it, the WeChat Interaction window is displayed. The WeChat Interaction window contains information about the interaction and the controls that you need to complete the interaction.

  • Right-click the icon and select Save as... to save the attachment.
Tip
The size and type of file that you can attach or receive may be limited by your configuration.

Emojis

WeChat provides a basic set of emojis (technically these are stickers). Click the smiley-face icon (5 in the figure WeChat Interaction Window) to get a selection window. When you select an emoji, it appears in the message area as a bracketed expression (for example, [grimace]), but once you click Send (or type Enter), the emoji appears in the transcript area in its full form. The bracketed expression also appears when you mouse-over the emoji.

The language of the bracketed expression is determined by the setting of the wechatsession.emoji-selector-mode option.
