Problem sending video with Waha (NOWEB engine error)

[Zaie_Zouu]

Hello,

I’m using Coolify + n8n + Waha integration.
When I try to send a video (not an image), I always get this error:

With images everything works fine, but with videos it fails.

• Do I need to specify a media_type for videos?

• Is video sending supported in the NOWEB engine, or should I switch to another engine?

• Has anyone already implemented video sending with Waha successfully?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello Zaie_Zouu. welcome to n8n Community! I’'ll try my best to help yaa.

I think that error is from WAHA, not from n8n.

The method is not implemented by “NOWEB“ engine it means the NOWEB engine in WAHA doesnt support the “send video“ method. Images work, videos dont.

Maybe you can try this::

1. Switch WAHA engine to one that supports media/video, e.g. WEBJS or BAILEYS. In coolify (or your compose), set env: WAHA_ENGINE=WEBJS (or BAILEYS). And then redeploy WAHA and create a new session (NOWEB session cant be reused across engines).
2. Use the media endpoint and pass a proper MIME/type, if you usingg WAHA node, just select Send a Video.

And i have some tips if it doesnt work:

• Reduce the file size, keep videos small (maybe like 16-64 mb)
• Include WAHA token header if enabled
• NOWEB stays unsupported for video. If you must keep NOWEB, you cant send video with it.

Maybe thats all i can share, hopefully it will works.
