Deploying a Scheduled Task to Alibaba Function Compute (FC)

Open the Alibaba Cloud homepage at https://www.aliyun.com/ and log in to your account.

Search for “Function Compute” (FC) and open the FC console.

Apply for the free‑tier usage.

Enter the FC console and navigate to Function Management → Function List in the left‑hand menu.

Create a new function of type Web Function .

Provide a function name; keep all other options at their default values.

Select the runtime environment that matches your code language; the example uses Python .

Upload the code as a zip archive. The archive should contain the source directory and a requirements.txt file.

Set the start command. For the example the command is:

python3 /code/第9.步目录名字/main.py # adjust the path and filename as needed

Install the Python dependencies locally (optional, for verification): pip3 install -r requirements.txt Configure the network settings as shown in the screenshot below.

Add the Elastic Public IP obtained from the WeChat public‑account developer console (WeChat → My Business → Official Account → Development Key → IP Whitelist) to the FC network whitelist.

Configure a trigger to run the function on a schedule. The example sets a daily timer at 06:00.

After the trigger fires, view the execution logs in the console to verify that the function ran correctly.

In the code editor, click the “Test Function” button to run a manual test; the result appears at the top of the IDE.
