Photos & attachments
Current documentation
Send images and files in both directions.
Receiving
Photos and files a lead sends show up right in the inbox thread. Images render inline, other files show as a link.
Sending via the API
Add an attachments array of public HTTPS links to Send a message. Beam delivers them with the message.
curl -X POST https://beam.aisync.link/v1/messages \ -H "x-api-key: YOUR_WORKSPACE_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "to": "+15551234567", "message": "Here is the before and after from last week", "attachments": ["https://yoursite.com/results.jpg"] }'
Limits
| Channel | Attachments per message | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Blue bubble | Up to 10 | Images, video, PDF and more |
| Text (MMS) | Up to 3 | About 5MB total. JPEG, PNG and GIF are the safe bets |
- Links must be public HTTPS URLs ending in a file extension.
- JPEG and PNG deliver most reliably everywhere. Avoid WEBP and SVG.
Email attachments use a stricter policyEmail compose accepts up to 10 approved files, 10 MB each and 20 MB total. Beam checks type, size, ownership, and authorized download before an attachment enters a conversation.
