Connect Langflow to WeCom (internal app)
Step-by-step guide to running your Langflow app as a WeCom (internal app) bot with LangBot: Langflow setup, bot credentials, networking, testing and troubleshooting.
This recipe puts your Langflow app behind a WeCom (internal app) bot. LangBot receives messages from WeCom (internal app), runs them through a pipeline, and sends the answer back, so you do not write any platform code.
Langflow builds agents and flows with a drag-and-drop editor. LangBot runs a flow through the Langflow API for every message.
What you need
- A running LangBot instance: LangBot Cloud (no server needed) or a self-hosted deployment with Docker or
uvx langbot. - A Langflow account or instance that LangBot can reach over the network.
- A WeCom self-built app: Corporate ID, the app Secret, the Contact Sync Secret, and the callback Token and EncodingAESKey.
Networking
WeCom delivers messages to a callback URL, so LangBot needs a public domain with HTTPS (see reverse proxy and SSL). LangBot Cloud includes a ready-to-use public URL.
1. Prepare Langflow
- Build a flow in Langflow (the Simple Agent template is a good start).
- Create an API key under Settings.
- Copy the Flow ID from Share → API access.
2. Create a pipeline
Open Pipelines in the LangBot WebUI, create a pipeline (or edit the default one) and set AI as follows. If the runner is not listed, install the official runner plugin from Plugins or the LangBot Space marketplace.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Runner | Langflow (official Langflow Agent runner plugin) |
| Base URL | Your Langflow address, reachable from LangBot |
| API Key | The Langflow API key |
| Flow ID | The flow to run |
3. Create the WeCom (internal app) bot
- Create a bot with the WeCom adapter, enter the Corporate ID, app Secret and Contact Sync Secret, enable it and copy the webhook callback URL.
- In the WeCom admin console, open Receive Messages → Set API Reception, paste the URL, generate the Token and EncodingAESKey, save them in LangBot first and then in WeCom. Add LangBot's outbound IP to Corporate Trusted IP.
4. Bind and test
Open the bot, select the pipeline you created, save and make sure the bot is enabled.
Open the app in the WeCom client and send it a message.
Troubleshooting
- Connection refused:
http://localhost:7860only works when Langflow runs on the same host and network namespace as LangBot. - request URL failed when saving the callback: the URL is not publicly reachable over HTTPS, or the Token/EncodingAESKey in LangBot does not match.
- Replies fail to send: add LangBot's outbound IP to the corporate trusted IP list.
- Check Monitoring in the WebUI: every message, pipeline run and error is recorded there.
FAQ
Do I need a server with a public IP for WeCom (internal app)?
Yes, or use LangBot Cloud. WeCom delivers messages to a callback URL, so LangBot needs a public domain with HTTPS (see reverse proxy and SSL). LangBot Cloud includes a ready-to-use public URL.
Does the WeCom (internal app) bot support streaming replies?
Check the platform feature matrix for what this platform supports. Replies are delivered once the AI back end has finished.
Can the same Langflow setup serve other platforms too?
Yes. A pipeline can be bound to many bots, so one configuration can answer on several platforms at once.
