How to Create Image, Video, or Document Templates
A simple guide to building WhatsApp media templates that combine a useful file in the header with clear body text, variables, and action buttons.
Media templates work well when the customer needs to receive something visual or downloadable together with a clear supporting message.
Choose the right media type
- Use image when a visual preview matters.
- Use video when the message needs motion, demonstration, or richer explanation.
- Use document when the customer needs a file such as an invoice, guide, or brochure.
How to build a media template
- Choose image, video, or document as the template type.
- Attach or reference the media in the header section.
- Write a short body that explains what the customer is receiving.
- Add a footer or button if it helps the customer take the next step.
Good media habits
- Use media that is clearly related to the message.
