Dependencies

Troubleshooting
- Invalid phone number format: Ensure the phone number includes the correct country code and no extra characters.
- Media URL inaccessible: Verify the media URL is valid and publicly accessible or correctly formatted as base64.
- Missing required parameters: Phone and Media URL are mandatory; missing these will cause errors.
- API authentication errors: Confirm the API key/token is correctly set up in the node credentials.
- Caption too long or unsupported characters: Some APIs limit caption length or character sets; check API documentation if errors occur.
Common error messages typically relate to invalid inputs or authentication failures. Resolving them involves verifying input correctness and credential validity.
