🛠️ How It Works

Select Image, Video, Document, or Audio.

Upload your file and (if supported) enter an optional caption.

Save and publish—your workflow now delivers media automatically at the right step.

📌 Considerations

Audio files are sent without captions; any text in the caption field is ignored when Audio mode is selected (WhatsApp API constraint).

Media size limits follow WhatsApp Business API guidelines; keep files within WhatsApp-recommended limits for optimal delivery.

Images: JPEG or PNG less than 5 MB

Videos: MP4 or 3GP less than 16 MB (H.264 video + AAC audio)

Audio: AAC, AMR, MP3, M4A, or OGG (OPUS) less than 16 MB

Documents: TXT, PDF, DOC/X, PPT/X, XLS/X less than 100 MB
