Can you show us how you are setting up the URL? I’m not sure if the image link is encoded correctly for WhatsApp to “read” it.

I assume you’re using a native form here, I think an alternative is to use a custom form, if the problem actually lies in Glide’s slowness in generating the link.

This is a simple concept app (copyable), that demonstrates the following techniques: Building custom forms for adding and editing list items (as an alternative to the native forms provided by Glide) Preventing duplicate new entries using [User Specific Columns](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/user-specific-columns) and [Relations](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/computed-columns/relation-column) Enforcing mandatory input items The use of visibility conditions and user specific booleans to control user flow There is nothing particula…

This is a Glide Apps concept, but you can adapt it to Glide Pages.
