Uploading Media

If you use the media upload process rather than linking to a media URL, the file must be uploaded to the media volume. Once the upload is complete, you can send a message using the media ID.

See the Supported Content-Types section below for information about supported Content-Type you can upload.

❗️
Request Body
POST body of the API request must contain the binary media data and the Content-Type header must be set to the type of the media being uploaded.

🚧
Maximum allowed media size
The maximum allowed size for uploading is 10 MB and in case of the large files use the URL option in send message APIs directly.
