The media webhook payload has the following format:

JSON

{
  "timestamp": "1640204070",
  "sender": {
    "id": "+16315555500",
    "channelType": "whatsapp",
    "name": "Vasi from Connectly"
  },
  "recipient": {
    "id": "+16044441234",
    "channelType": "whatsapp",
    "name": "connectlyai"
  },
  "message": {
    "attachments": [
      {
        "type": "audio",
        "url": "https://cdn.connectly.ai/46b6/46b6725c-a821-480c-901b-8a76b990a25c"
      }
    ]
  }
}

The media payload is stored under attachments. Connectly supports sending multiple attachments in one webhook event but currently, only ONE attachment is sent at a time. The type indicates the media type and the media file is accessible by visiting the url. If you download the media file from the URL programmatically then you should get the MIME type from the response headers.
