Reuse WhatsApp media for Bitly campaign updates
Send an existing approved asset and its destination without uploading the file again for each message.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send media by
Send media using a media id from previously uploaded media. this is more efficient than sending media by url as the media is already on whatsapp servers. use upload media action first to get the media id. note: the media will be delivered to the recipient only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Repeatedly handling the same campaign asset adds busywork when all that changed is the update or destination.
- Reuse media already stored on WhatsApp servers.
- Keep the campaign asset with its short-link destination.
- Start the message when a webhook request is ready.

- 1Connect Bitly and WhatsApp in the Notis portal.

- 3Choose a webhook trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with an existing WhatsApp media ID and a recipient who has texted first.
