Reuse uploaded media in a browser-driven workflow
When a browser task identifies the right uploaded asset, send it through WhatsApp without uploading it again.
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
Finding the correct asset and then locating it again to send creates extra steps and mistakes.
- Reuse media already uploaded to WhatsApp servers.
- Skip a repeat media upload.
- Connect the browser result to a specific asset.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Browser tool and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Browser Result Media ID Share.
- 3In one instruction, specify how the browser result identifies the uploaded media ID and the WhatsApp recipient.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real media ID and confirm the media message.

Where does the media ID come from?

Can this reach someone who has not messaged first?
