I’ve been wanting to send a whatsapp message template that in cludes a video, but it never actually worked. I first tried using the send message template node, which didn’t work.
Then I created a new template that doesn’t have the video itself in it, but a header in which I can put in text, so I thought I’ll put the link there to the video (I’m publicly hosting it on Github). That didn’t work as well.
I also tried first downloading that publicly hosted video, then uploading it to whatsapp and then refer to it with its media id, didn’t work as well.
And I even tried to do a custom HTTP request. instead of using the integrated whatsapp node.
This is the send template node.
This is the custom http request:
(I created multiple templates in Meta, since I’m confused about the whole header parameter thing. In n8n, you can’t just add a video header I believe. As you can see, I’m not quite clear myself so some help would be very appreciated)
Thanks for the answer, I read the thread, but the guy at the end had the same problem as I have: He cannot choose video as a header option. I’m assuming the whole time, the template itself that you create within the Meta Business Manager already has to include the video in it, but then I wonder, why you can’t choose it as header option.
And if you choose the option ‘image’, what exact link should you use? Can I just use a link to a public hosting of the video?
