Use a public URL for a message template header file
Text Agents & InboxNewSep 14 – 20, 2026
A message template whose header carries an image, video or document can now point at a public URL instead of uploading the file. The template form offers Upload file or Use public URL, and the URL has to be a public https address; WhatsApp fetches it when the template is submitted. Switching back to uploading cancels an upload in progress and keeps the URL you typed.
