Hi @martijnpoppen Do you mean it is possible to sent messagues to a group like [WhatsApp Group Invite](https://chat.whatsapp.com/blablabla)? How do i config this? I have made a test like this and no message is comming to this group. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/c/2c8299d1d7fb1c98a17c51cc3d3358bcb1c27adb.png) a message to a single user is working great. THX!!! ---

@cautje Yes if your admin of the group you can get the share group link by going to the group settings: And click the invite via link option Then you can copy the link and use that in the whatsapp card ![Screenshot_2023-10-27-10-07-42-83_6012fa4d4ddec268fc5c7112cbb265e7](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/2/924168d68e251b3f345e954c18138587b7639ee6.jpeg) ---

@TMS_TMS do you have a image tag which is not generated by another flowcard? a google chromecast has for example a “AlbumHoes” tag. ---

@TMS_TMS tried a lot of things but i cant reproduce it. Did you already try to repair the device in Homey? if not can you try that ---

I did the repair thingy but it did not solve the issue. when you say ‘i cant reproduce it’ does that mean you can send an image generated by another homey app (eg security camera) and send it via your whatsapp-app? ---
