Reuse an uploaded media asset for campaign follow-up
When the asset already lives on WhatsApp, send it by its media ID as part of a campaign follow-up.
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 media file adds busywork and increases the chance of using the wrong asset.
- Reuse media already stored on WhatsApp servers.
- Avoid sending the same file through an additional URL transfer.
- Keep campaign asset follow-up tied to a webhook.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BulkPublish and WhatsApp once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Describe which webhook should send a previously uploaded asset and provide its media ID where available.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real uploaded media ID and a recipient who has texted your WhatsApp number first.
Questions about this workflow
Does the media ID get created by this action?
No. Upload media is the action that uploads a file and returns a media ID. Send media by uses an existing ID.
Does BulkPublish provide a WhatsApp media ID?
That is not specified. The automation needs an ID available from a prior upload or another connected source.
Can this send before the recipient starts a conversation?
The supplied action description says the media is delivered only if the recipient has texted first.
