[WEBJS] Link Previews

[eliopinho]

First of all, congratulations — great work/project! 🙂

When we try to send a link via WAHA with preview enabled, it usually doesn’t show the preview on WhatsApp (I assume the message is being sent too quickly).

I imagine it’s necessary to “type the message” and “wait a few seconds” before sending it, so that WhatsApp Web has enough time to successfully load the link preview, and only then send the message.

Thank you for your effort, keep up the excellent work.

What link are you trying to send? Sometimes the preview doesn't display properly due to Cloudflare or similar site protection.

in my specific case, is links on my own server (no cloudflare or similar), if i copy the link the waha send to me and past to another chat, manualy via whatsapp oficial client/web works flawlessly
only have to wait 1 or 2 seconds to load.

in the oficial client if i do CTRL+V + ENTER (super fast) works like WAHA (no preview)

Could you try sending the link https://github.com?

its the same, via api/webjs.. manually in the official app/web in order to correct preview links have to wait about 2 seconds before send the "message"
