Sending PDFs and Media Files via WhatsApp API

By 5MinutesAPI Growth Team

Beyond Plain Text

Modern businesses require rich communication. Whether you are an airline sending boarding passes or an e-commerce store sending PDF invoices, the WhatsApp API handles media seamlessly.

Providing Public URLs

With 5MinutesAPI, you don't need to upload heavy binaries to our server. Simply pass a publicly accessible URL of the file (e.g., an AWS S3 link), and our engine will instruct Meta to download and deliver it to the user.



{
"to": "1234567890",
"type": "document",
"media": {
"url": "https://your-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/invoice_102.pdf",
"filename": "Invoice_102.pdf"
}
}

High-Speed Processing

Thanks to our Golang architecture, parsing and forwarding these media payloads to Meta adds zero latency. Your customers receive their critical documents instantly, securely encrypted end-to-end.
