WhatsApp Media Best Practices
- While uploading the media and setting the mime-type make sure you are following the guidelines mentioned in this documentation.
- The publicly accessible URL used while configuring the message must end in the same file format set under the 'File MIME type'. It should not have any geo-restriction and should be accessible from a server located within USA premises.
- Supported incoming media message mime-types are identical to outbound message media mime-types in Send node and Messaging API. The mime-type of the incoming media message can be captured as part of the following:
- Start node and Receive node output variable i.e., "whatsApp.mimetype",
- Outbound webhooks, Debug logs and Export logs with JSON path "attachments.mime_type"
- WebP is a modern image format that provides superior lossless compression and creates smaller and richer images that makes web faster. The source libraries to use for converting an image to WebP file-format are available here. You can also use various third-party converters publicly available to convert images to WebP file-format.
