I am trying to send a WhatsApp message using the WhatsApp API with a template that includes a video. When I send templates without media content, they are successfully delivered. However, when I include a video in the template, the message is not sent without any error message.
Here is the code I'm using:
{
"messaging_product": "whatsapp",
"to": "01123456789",
"type": "template",
"template": {
"namespace": "your-trainer",
"name": "my_template_name",
"language": {
"code": "DE",
"policy": "deterministic"
},
"components": [
{
"type": "header",
"parameters": [
{
"type": "video",
"video": {
"link": "https://scontent.whatsapp.net/v/t61....."
}
}
]
},
{
"type": "body",
"parameters": [
{
"type": "text",
"text": "Some custom text for variable"
}
]
}
]
}}
Here is my template:
"data": [
{
"name": "my_template_name",
"components": [
{
"type": "HEADER",
"format": "VIDEO",
"example": {
"header_handle": [
"https://scontent.whatsapp.net/v/t61..."
]
}
},
{
"type": "BODY",
"text": "Hallo {{1}}\n\",
"example": {
"body_text": [
[
"stackoverflow"
]
]
}
},
{
"type": "FOOTER",
"text": "Some Footer-Text"
},
{
"type": "BUTTONS",
"buttons": [
{
"type": "QUICK_REPLY",
"text": "Promotions stoppen"
}
]
}
],
"language": "de",
"status": "APPROVED",
"category": "MARKETING",
"id": "myid"
}
Here is the response
{
"messaging_product": "whatsapp",
"contacts": [
{
"input": "1234567899",
"wa_id": "1234567899"
}
],
"messages": [
{
"id": "wamid.HBgLNDE3OTQ2NDg4NjYVAgARGDFSDFSDFSDF"
}
]}
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
