Summary

Posts an image as a WhatsApp Status update for the selected session. Choose an image source—URL, base64 data, or an incoming binary property—and optionally add a caption and recipients.

Inputs

• Session Name or ID (required) — Select the WhatsApp session to post from.
• Image Source (required) — Choose URL, Base64, or Binary Data as the image source.
• Image URL (required) — Image URL; shown when Image Source is URL.
• Base64 Data (required) — Base64-encoded image data; shown when Image Source is Base64.
• MIME Type (required) — MIME type for the base64 image, such as image/jpeg; shown when Image Source is Base64.
• Binary Property (required) — Name of the incoming binary property containing the image; shown when Image Source is Binary Data.
• Caption — Optional caption for the status image (maximum 1024 characters).
• Recipients — Optional comma-separated list, JSON array, or expression resolving to recipient JIDs (@c.us or @lid; groups are not allowed). The list is required and honored by the Baileys engine. whatsapp-web.js ignores it and posts to that account's usual status audience.
