Hi - new here and new to shortcuts.
I’d like to be able to send an image from my Photos Library (or attached to a task in a Reminders List) to a group. When I try the “Send Message via WhatsApp” or the “Send Photo via WhatsApp” actions and specify the criteria on how to automatically select the photos I want, it errors. I either have to manually select the photos (defeats the purpose), or it tries sending only the text “photos” in red (even when I select that the IMAGE should be sent, not its metadata).
Thanks!

Hello!… I’m having this issue. Were you able to fix it?
I have been able to automate sending texts via whatsapp, and I can send a photo via whatsapp if I have been prompted on where to send it (which like you said, defeats the purpose of an automation), but I can’t seem to send photos via an automation.
This is the error that I get:
Hi - no, I haven’t been able to fix it. I did some more research on it and tried a couple of other things, but nothing seemed to work, unfortunately. I saw you posted on another thread I had also followed with a similar question - no traction there either. If you do figure it out/get a response, please do let me know!! My ideal use case is also to be able to automate sending a photo to a WhatsApp group without me having to be prompted to manually select the photo each time.
