Overview

This node operation sends an image message via the WasenderAPI. It allows users to specify the recipient, image URL, optional text caption, and additional message options such as replying to a specific message or mentioning group members. It supports the 'view once' feature for images, meaning the image can be set to be viewed only once by the recipient. This operation is useful for automating the sending of image content in WhatsApp messages, for example, sending promotional images, product photos, or event invitations.

Use Case Examples

  1. Sending a promotional image to a customer with a caption.
  2. Sending an event invitation image to a group with mentions of specific members.
  3. Sending a 'view once' image to ensure the recipient can only see the image one time.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the 'Image URL' is a valid and accessible URL; otherwise, the message sending will fail.
  • The 'Recipient' must be a valid phone number or group/channel JID; invalid formats will cause errors.
  • If 'Reply To Message ID' is specified, it must be a positive integer; otherwise, an error is thrown.
  • If 'Mentions' are used, ensure the participant JIDs are correctly formatted.
  • The node requires a valid session either selected manually or auto-selected from incoming data; missing session information will cause errors.
