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)

  • Prepare assets ahead of sends
  • Keep media handling consistent
