Why Twilio receiving only blank body if we send images/media from my mobile via WhatsApp application?












0















[twilio] [twilio-whatsapp]




I have successfully integrated Whastsapp beta provided by twilio and sending and receiving text working perfectly. Moreover with the one trick I am also able to send images from twilio to whtasapp but reverse flow is not working.



When I send media from mobile whatsapp application to twilio then twilio only receive black body. No text body no Media.



Am I doing something wrong?

          The Twilio API for WhatsApp doesn't yet support media. But it is being worked on.



          I would still expect the text to come through, so if that's not the case then I recommend you contact Twilio support and give them some message SIDs where this happened and they will alert the WhatsApp team.

          • Thanks for answer! However this is very disappointing that media sharing is not supported yet, there is no point of use without it. I mean what to do with only text? Even twilio sms/mms works more than it!

          • Well, the good news is that support for media is coming. It's just not here yet. Hopefully it arrives soon though, I know I'd like to build some things with it too.
