This workflow listens for incoming WhatsApp messages that contain media (e.g., images) and automatically downloads the media file using WhatsApp's private media URL.

  • The trigger node activates when a WhatsApp message with media is received.
  • The media ID is extracted from the message payload.
  • A private media URL is retrieved using the media ID.
  • The media file is downloaded using an authenticated HTTP request.

Ideal for:

  • Archiving WhatsApp media to external systems.
  • Triggering further automations based on received media.
  • Integrating with cloud storage like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Amazon S3.

Set up steps

  • Connect your WhatsApp Business API account.
  • Add HTTP credentials for downloading media via private URL.
  • Set up the webhook in your WhatsApp Business account.
  • Extend the workflow as needed for your use case (e.g., file storage, alerts).
