Hi, simple example

media.filename = "CustomImageName.png"; client.sendMessage("
[email protected]", media, {caption: "Image"});
I see... so do we still have to specify a filename? Can I just use a URL to create a media directly?

My advice is simple Be curious
so do we still have to specify a filename? - NO
Can I just use a URL to create a media directly? - Yes
Using media.filename = "CustomName.png" you change original name its can be useful an example for prevent duplicate media file if you
have intention to store then
All the best

This is because this operation must be asynchronous.
The one of solution might be
Putting your code inside anonymous function
(async () => {
let url ="some url"
const media = await MessageMedia.fromUrl(url);
client.sendMessage("[email protected]", media, {caption: "some caption"}) ;
})();
Here is useful information about async/await operation in javascript
https://javascript.info/async-await
Update
If you calling media from client.on("ready" () => {}); try to add async inside this function
Example:
client.on("message", async(msg) => {
//now you have available await operation
const media = await MessageMedia.fromUrl(url);
})

I think this is safe to close as @ItHustleCoder has answered pretty clearly.
I've also just added this to the guide at https://wwebjs.dev/guide/handling-attachments.html#sending-files-from-a-url
pedroslopez closed this as completed on Feb 5, 2022

Olá, muito obrigado pela ajuda!
quando coloco 'aguardar' ele não inicia!
quando eu removo 'await' ele inicia mas não funciona!
Isso ocorre porque essa operação deve ser assíncrona. A solução pode ser Colocar seu código dentro de uma função anônima
(async () => { let url ="some url" const media = await MessageMedia.fromUrl(url); client.sendMessage("[email protected]",
media, {caption: "some caption"}) ; })();
**Aqui estão informações úteis sobre a operação async/await em javascript ** https://javascript.info/async-await
Update Se você estiver chamando a mídia de **client.on("ready" () => {}); ** tente adicionar async dentro desta função Exemplo:
client.on("message", async(msg) => { //now you have available await operation const media = await MessageMedia.fromUrl(url);
})
Muito Obrigado! funcionou perfeitamente!

Hello, i have the solution, use the await method and don't use "new MessageMedia", see the example:
let url = media.url;
const body = await MessageMedia.fromUrl(url);
const query = media.caption ? { caption: media.caption } : {};
await client.sendMessage(to, body, query);
