Connectly webhooks support 4 media types that correspond to certain MIME types:

| Type                 | Description                                                                                          | Supported MIME types                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |

The media webhook payload has the following format:

JSON

```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.
