[Whatsapp] - Media

At a glance

The community member is trying to get the URL of an image sent by their client via WhatsApp. They tried adding a File upload block, but it forced them to send the image twice. The community members in the comments suggest using a File upload block to save the URL in a variable. However, the original poster had an issue where the flow did not start until they sent the image twice. Another community member suggested that if the first block is a File input block, the flow should trigger instantly.

The original poster eventually got it working by setting some variables beforehand, and thanked the community for the support.

You need to add a File upload block then
There you can save the URL in a variable
I tried that, but in this case I need to upload the file twice. When I started the conversation with an file upload, it does not start that block, I need to sent it again to be able to process the file. There is a way to not do that?
When I sent the file first time, it did stopped on the file block. Just after I sent the image twice, it started the flow.
