@Richard.0991 Год назад

For those who have the problem that can't send images and documents. What I did was send a message from the client side to the business account, then I was able to send images. Apparently to send multimedia content, the client must respond before (at least once).

Hey Juan or anyone reading this, I wanted to know how to get the picture in picture mode for a RU-vid video link sent in a message through WhatsApp API or even whether that is possible. This p-i-p does happen while sending messages through normal WhatsApp but not when u send it from a WhatsApp Business API. Hoping for some help!

Muy buenas quisiera que me ayudes con una duda, mencionabas en un video que WhatsApp te cobra por conversación, que pasa si yo empiezo la conversación con alguien por Whatsapp sin necesidad de usar la api. De igual manera contara como una conversación a cobrar?

@VinixCode 2 года назад

Dante, y cómo iniciarías la conversación sin usar la API? Te pregunto, porque el número de teléfono que uses para la API, no puede ser usado en la aplicación móvil de WhatsApp y viceversa.

@neemiahluis6449 2 года назад

Hi great work, one can easily follow... Have you made a tutorial on automatic responses based on replies from users? Previously I built a chatbot with twillio and python and I would just insert the webhook url in twillio settings and everything was going well. can the same be done with cloud api? I want to use the already done script as it links perfectly with the Postgres database.

@VinixCode 2 года назад

Neemiah, it is indeed possible to build a chatbot with this new API! You can use a solution like Twilio or Dialogflow, or even write your write your own chatbot if you want to. For that, you do need to set up a webhook, as it will be the one that processes all the alerts and messages from WhatsApp.

@neemiahluis6449 2 года назад

@@VinixCode Yes, I tried to reuse the code I used with Twilio and inserted the webhook but did not succeed, that is why I wondered if you made a tutorial on that, so I can see where I went wrong

Great explanation, but i have a question what is the use of their "POST /PHONE_NUMBER_ID/media" end point if we can send file as urls?

This endpoint is used to upload local files instead of using a URL.

@daniloreiis Год назад

Hello my friend, this video helped me a lot, now I can send any document thanks to you, thank you, but I need to understand why it is only possible to receive the document via API only when the contact says hi first?

@VinixCode Год назад

You mean send a document or receive a document? You can use template messages to send messages to anybody, but to send regular messages you first need to get a reply back from the user. That's essentially the way in which that person authorizes the reception of messages from you.

@Siddharth2155 10 месяцев назад

Hey, is there a way to send caption along with the image. This is a reply to a message, and thus not using a template

@VinixCode 10 месяцев назад

Yes. You can pass the 'caption' attribute in the payload, along with the 'link' attribute.

Hi, I would like to send a Video and Message Body content as single message without using template. Is it possible ?

@VinixCode Год назад

It is possible to do this, but you cannot do it if you're starting a conversation. To initiate a conversation you always have to use a template.

@mohamedkunle528 Год назад

thank you so much you helped me a lot , but can send a document first, like start the conversation with a document, if that is impossible can you make a template that can send a document to initiate the conversation

@VinixCode Год назад

Mohamed, yes. You can simply create a message template that sends a document in the header and use that to initiate the conversation.

Tengo una consulta. Envio una imagen, la respuesta es 200 sin problema, pero la imagen nunca llega. Sigo al pie la petición. Cual puede ser el problema? Deberé activar algo mas de la app que no hago?. Los mensajes de texto plano son los únicos que llegan correctamente

@VinixCode Год назад

Esteban, la respuesta 200 solo significa que la petición fue procesada exitosamente, no que el mensaje fue enviado. Para saber si el mensaje fue enviado o no, debes leer la información que te envían por los Webhooks.

@VinixCode Год назад

You need to use WhatsApp's webhooks to know whether your message was delivered or not. We cover all of that in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UvE5G2oTjdM.html

Hello! Do you know why I get the correct 200 response but I don't receive the image? I've already chatted with this user before and I'm still using the test number provided by whatsapp

We covered that topic in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UvE5G2oTjdM.html Basically a 200 response doesn't mean that the message was sent. It only means that WhatsApp received your request, but they then notify you via webhooks whether the messages was delivered or not.
