You can paste the base64 image into https://base64-to-image.com/ and see it works perfectly fine.

client.sendLinkWithAutoPreview(message.from, message.body, "test", ^^ above pastebin ^^ )

create() code OR full CLI command + CONFIG

client.sendLinkWithAutoPreview(message.from, message.body, "test", *data_url + base64_image)

@dmzoneill the pastebin has dataurl, can you try again with just the base64 portion please:

just remove data:image/jpeg;base64, from the start

hi @smashah

As indicated above, i've tried it with and without the dataurl.
