How to upload an image received via WhatsApp?

At a glance

The community member is testing a bot through the WhatsApp channel in the Typebot cloud flow editor, but is unable to send images to Airtable. The images only work when testing the web chat, so the community member knows the POST is working with images. The community member read that images received on WhatsApp are not public, so they are unsure how to save them without access.

In the comments, another community member suggests the community member should change the visibility setting, as referenced in the Typebot documentation. Another community member asks if this is also possible using the "text input" block that allows file attachments, and where to change the visibility option. The response confirms that it is the same for the "text input" block.

I read somewhere that images received on WhatsApp are not public, so how can I save them if I don't have access?
