My automated WhatsApp PDF-sending script worked perfectly for the first two months, but now it refuses to attach any PDF at [login to view URL] be due to change in Whatsapp. The text portion still sends; the file simply never shows up in the chat. This happens with every PDF I try, regardless of size or content. I need the underlying issue identified and corrected so the tool can reliably attach and send PDFs again. Once fixed, please verify the solution by sending multiple test PDFs and share a concise change log so I can understand what was adjusted and why.

Hi there! I'm Asma, a web developer and graphic designer with 10 years of hands-on experience helping brands stand out in crowded markets. I've worked with clients and agencies across fashion, hospitality, property, and luxury lifestyle sectors, and one thing stays constant: I'm obsessed with getting the details right. I don't just make things look pretty. I solve problems. Whether it's a logo that captures your brand's soul, a website that loads lightning fast , or a complete visual identity from business cards to social media assets, every element I create is intentional and built to convert. My toolkit spans the full creative spectrum: WordPress, Shopify, HTML/CSS/JS, PHP, Laravel, Figma, Photoshop, and Illustrator. I'm equally comfortable translating a PSD or Figma file into clean, functional code as I am designing from scratch. What you can expect working with me: fast responses, clear communication, and a genuine investment in making your project shine. I treat every client's vision like it's my own. I'd love to learn more about what you're looking for. Let's create something remarkable together. Looking forward to hearing from you!

I’ve gone through your requirement, and this looks like a classic case where WhatsApp (or the API/library you’re using) has changed something usually around media handling, authentication, or file upload endpoints. Since your text messages are still working, the issue is very likely in the media upload/attachment step, not the core messaging flow. I can debug this end-to-end, fix the root cause, and ensure PDFs are reliably sent again. Before we move ahead, I’d like to clarify a few things: Which setup are you using—WhatsApp Business API, Twilio, or an unofficial library? What language/stack is the script written in (Node, Python, PHP)? Are you seeing any errors/logs when attempting to attach the PDF? How I’ll approach this: Check API changes (media endpoint, headers, auth tokens, MIME type requirements) Validate file upload process (buffer/URL/base64 issues) Fix attachment payload formatting (common breaking point) Test with multiple PDFs (sizes/types) to ensure stability Add fallback/error handling so future failures are easier to catch I’ll deliver a working fix, verify it with multiple test sends, and provide a clear changelog explaining exactly what broke and what was updated so you’re not stuck again if WhatsApp changes something in future. Looking forward to hearing back from you and discussing this in the chat. Portfolio: https://www.freelancer.in/u/Rupal878 Rupal Saini

Hello, I can help diagnose and fix the PDF attachment issue in your automated WhatsApp sending script. Since the text still sends but PDFs no longer attach, this is likely caused by a change in WhatsApp Web behavior, attachment flow, selector handling, upload timing, or file-input interaction. I will identify the exact break point, update the script accordingly, and make sure PDF sending works reliably again. What I will do: - Debug the current attachment flow end to end - Fix the PDF upload/attach logic - Update selectors or automation steps if WhatsApp changed its UI - Test with multiple PDFs to confirm reliability - Share a concise changelog explaining what was changed and why Deliverable: - Corrected, working script - Verified PDF sending tests - Brief documentation/change summary Timeline: 1 day max , depending on the current codebase and automation stack If you share the existing script and stack details (Node.js, Python, Selenium, Puppeteer, etc.), I can review it and fix it quickly. Best regards, Prashant

Hi there! I noticed your project regarding the issue with your automated WhatsApp PDF-sending script. It seems like the script was working fine initially but now faces a problem in attaching PDF files. I understand the importance of having this tool function smoothly for your needs. In a similar project, I worked with a client who faced a similar issue with their automated email attachment script. By identifying the root cause and making necessary adjustments to the script, we were able to resolve the problem and ensure that attachments were sent successfully. Could you provide more details about the platform or tools used for the current WhatsApp script? Also, have there been any recent updates or changes made to the script that might have caused this issue? Looking forward to the opportunity to assist you with this project. Thanks, Tejbir Bhatia

I can quickly diagnose and resolve the issue with your WhatsApp automation script. Since the text portion of your messages is still sending successfully, your core authentication and connection are completely fine. The issue is strictly isolated to the file upload handler. It is extremely common for WhatsApp to push silent updates to their web interface (changing DOM elements, XPaths, or input field IDs) or internal APIs, which instantly breaks the specific action of attaching files.

I am a high-precision Python automation specialist. I specialize in debugging scripts that fail due to UI updates and web security changes. I suspect your WhatsApp attachment bug is caused by a recent shift in the platform's XPath/Element ID structure or a new sync-delay requirement. I can immediately identify if the issue is a UI change, a file-access error, or a timing mismatch in your automation loop. I write resource-efficient code designed to run reliably on any standard hardware. I am ready to start now and can have this resolved within hours once I see the current script/error log.

Hello. I can quickly diagnose and fix your automated WhatsApp PDF-sending script. Since the text messages are still working but attachments fail, this is likely due to a recent change in the WhatsApp API (Cloud API or Business API) regarding media upload endpoints, MIME type validation, or file handle permissions. I will: - Audit your current code to identify where the media upload process is breaking. - Update the script to comply with the latest WhatsApp API requirements for sending documents (ensuring correct headers, form-data structure, and URL validity). - Test the fix by sending multiple PDFs of varying sizes to verify reliability. - Provide a concise changelog explaining exactly what was adjusted and why, so you understand the root cause. I have extensive experience maintaining WhatsApp automation scripts and keeping them up-to-date with platform changes. I can start immediately and get your PDF delivery working again today.

Hi, This looks like a change in how WhatsApp handles file attachments rather than a complete script failure, especially since text messages are still being sent successfully. I can help identify the root cause (likely related to file upload handling or recent changes in WhatsApp Web) and fix the attachment logic so PDFs are sent reliably again. I will also test the solution with multiple PDF files and provide a concise change log explaining what was adjusted and why. Before proceeding, could you please confirm which tool or library the script is using (e.g., Selenium, pywhatkit, etc.)? I can start immediately. Thanks
