This is my n8n workflow. This can reply in text, but when I ask for an image, it does not send any image. It successfully executes the whole workflow, but I will not receive any image on my WhatsApp, I need help with this .
Your workflow is working correctly the issue isn’t n8n, it’s how WhatsApp handles images.
WhatsApp can’t send images directly from a URL or text response. Even if the workflow executes successfully, WhatsApp will silently drop the message unless the image is first uploaded to WhatsApp to get a media_id.
What’s missing in your flow:
-
Download the image (convert URL → binary)
-
Upload the image to WhatsApp (
/mediaendpoint) -
Send the image using the returned
media_id
Correct flow:
AI → IF (image) → Download Image → Upload to WhatsApp → Send Image
Text replies work because they don’t need this extra upload step.
Once you add the media upload step, images will deliver correctly.
