Sending media files using integration´s external token (WhatsApp)

Clayton

Hi!

Could you please, show updated examples of how to send media files such as audio, video, image and files by using the external token fron integration?

We have doubts about mimetypes for each type of media.

curl --location 'https://mydomain.com/api/integrations/send-message' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer ' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--data '{
"phone":"+",
"text":"sent from chatbot",
"attachment": {
"type": ?,
"mime": ?,
"url": "https://somedomain/file.pdf"
}
}'

Thanks.

--data '{
    "phone": "хххххххххххх",

hi Alla!

When we send an audio file this way, for some reason we need to download the audio file before play it. Is there any mime type that sends the audio file without the need to download?

Thanks

This is similar to the fact that WhatsApp has disabled media auto-download settings. Try checking the settings in your WhatsApp application.
