  title: WhatsApp Upload Media and Send Image Message
  summary: Upload an image to WhatsApp servers and send it to a recipient by media ID.
  description: >-
    The canonical media messaging pattern for the WhatsApp Cloud API. The
    workflow first uploads a binary image file to Meta's media endpoint, which
    returns a reusable media ID, and then sends an image message to a recipient
    that references that media ID along with an optional caption. Every step
    spells out its request inline so the flow can be read and executed without
    opening the underlying OpenAPI description.
