Sending Media Message Templates
Media message templates expand the content you can send recipients beyond the standard message template type to include media and headers using a components object. The components object allows you to indicate the type of message and the message's parameters.

Parameters
Media Format Recommendation
- Images taller than 1.91:1 aspect ratio are cropped vertically. To communicate the crux in such images, plan to present the most important information at the center of the image.
Step 2: Check the API Response
A successful response includes a messages object with an id.
{
"messages": [{
"id": "gBEGkYiEB1VXAglK1ZEqA1YKPrU"
}]
}
An unsuccessful response contains an error object with an error string, error code and other information.
If a template is sent to an account that is incapable of receiving the template, the 1026 (ReceiverIncapable) error will be sent in the error object to the configured Webhook server.
See Error and Status Codes for more information on errors.
