Automatic Media Download from WhatsApp Business Messages with HTTP Storage

This workflow listens for incoming WhatsApp messages that contain media (e.g., images) and automatically downloads the media file using WhatsApp's private media URL.

The trigger node activates when a WhatsApp message with media is received. The media ID is extracted from the message payload. A private media URL is retrieved using the media ID. The media file is downloaded using an authenticated HTTP request.

Ideal for: Archiving WhatsApp media to external systems. Triggering further automations based on received media. Integrating with cloud storage like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Amazon S3.

Set up steps Connect your WhatsApp Business API account. Add HTTP credentials for downloading media via private URL. Set up the webhook in your WhatsApp Business account. Extend the workflow as needed for your use case (e.g., file storage, alerts).
