WhatsApp: transfer of received media parameters via API
Hello, I am a teacher specialized in automation and AI, and I use Go High Level (Agency plan) to create AI agents. However, I'm experiencing a major limitation because Go High Level doesn't pass message attachments (such as audios, videos, and PDF files) through the output webhook. This is essential for me to be able to integrate and process these types of media into my automation flows. I've tried using the variables {{message.attachments}} and {{ message.id }}, but they return empty. Specifically, due to the WhatsApp/Meta integration with GHL, I'm unable to use the webhooks provided by Meta itself. Even trying to solve this with inbound webhooks, it doesn't work, because I need to continue using the “Customer Replied” trigger in GHL. In addition, since the WhatsApp integration via Meta → Go High Level and the official WhatsApp Cloud API (with an app on Facebook Developers) cannot coexist, I can't work around the problem using the Meta API directly. In other words, I have to choose between creating and managing my own app on Meta to send and receive messages or connect via Go High Level. Using both simultaneously is not possible. What I need in the automation flow is very simple: Customer Replied → Outbound Webhook → I need all message parameters to be correctly passed on, including body, id, and attachments (audio, video, PDF). It should be noted that the attachments must be passed on as a media link, because if only the attachment ID is forwarded, I have no way of obtaining the file via the Meta API. This is because, when connecting WhatsApp to GHL via Lead Connector, it is not possible to use the Facebook Developers app to access the Meta API. I really appreciate the help in resolving this limitation, as it's critical for the AI agents and automation flows that I build on your platform. Thank you very much.

WhatsApp integration support for links/images on inbound messages when sent by the ACTION button on a facebook page post. (it's currently text only)
HOW IT WORKS WITH STANDARD WHATSAPP: Using a standard whatsapp account you can add the whatsapp button to your facebook business page AND have it as an ACTION button for the viewers to contact about a post (see screenshot 1) When they click ACTION it prefills with the link to the facebook post (as a link) and defaults the WhatsApp message to 'Can I get more info on this?has' (see screenshot 2) When you click 'continue to chat' it opens whatsapp and starts a new message with the default text AND includes the link to the post. (see screenshot 3). When it's sent it's very clear to the recipient which facebook post they are referring to. (see screenshot 4) HOW IT WORKS USING GHL/WHATSAPP INTEGRATION If I have a facebook page using my GHL/LC WhatsApp number as the contact and action buttons, it appears to work in the same way (same as screenshots 1, 2, 3) BUT The message received in GHL does not bring through the facebook post link - it just has the text part of the whatsapp message - Which is not very useful as you don't know which facebook post it was referring to. (see screenshot 5) It's not even mentioned in the message details either (click 3 dots and select details) (see screenshot 6) Given in GHL we can create whatsapp templates with links, images, videos etc to send OUTBOUND - then hopefully it's not too much of a stretch to have the same link/attachment style support for INBOUND messages too (which come from the facebook ACTION button linked to GHL/LC/WA account) (see comparison 'screenshot 7)
