Prepare files once so later WhatsApp sends are immediate.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Upload media
Upload media files (images, videos, audio, documents, stickers) to whatsapp servers. the uploaded media gets a media id that can be used in send media or other messaging actions. supported formats: - images: jpeg, png (max 5mb) - videos: mp4, 3gpp (max 16mb) - audio: aac, m4a, amr, mp3, ogg (max 16mb) - documents: pdf, doc, docx, ppt, pptx, xls, xlsx (max 100mb) - stickers: webp (max 500kb, 512x512 pixels)
Why this helps
Agents cannot reuse a file until someone manually uploads it first.
- Prepare assets ahead of sending
- Create reusable media IDs
- Reduce manual portal work
