Send reusable WhatsApp media from Chatbotkit
Reuse media already on WhatsApp servers and keep delivery fast.
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
Teams repeatedly upload the same files for common chatbot requests.
- Avoid repeated uploads
- Speed up file delivery
- Keep standard assets consistent
