To integrate We Chat with Zendesk is it necessary to have an official We Chat account or is it enough to have a simple account? If the latter, are there any limitations to using WeChat in Zendesk?
Question
Integration between Zendesk and WeChat
I am setting up an Official Bussiness WeChat account of type "Service account".
when setting this up, they clearly state that
Basic Messaging API - none
Support for Advanced APIs - none
does that mean I won't be able to connect this to Zendesk.
Does anyone have experience with this?

Hi Noam,
As per our Sunshine Conversations documentation here: Configuring WeChat and our WeChat documentation in Adding WeChat channels to the Zendesk Agent Workspace, you will need an Official WeChat Account in order to configure WeChat with Zendesk Messaging. We recommend selecting a "Service Account" in this case, so you can be sure that this would work with Zendesk messaging.
A possible reason why you are getting the above message is because you are signing up for a test account, which might be different from an official WeChat account.
Enter your E-mail address. We'll send you an e-mail with instructions to reset your password.
Since our integration requires API access to be enabled, you'd need to have an official business WeChat account to this up using Zendesk.
I hope this helps!
