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.

Last reviewed Apr 7, 2026Published Apr 7, 2026

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

  1. Choose image, video, or document as the template type.
  2. Attach or reference the media in the header section.
  3. Write a short body that explains what the customer is receiving.
  4. 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.
  • Avoid cluttered or low-quality visuals.
  • Keep the body text short and useful because the media already carries part of the message.
