In order to enable Aura File Manager component to deploy it in environment, follow these steps:

• Add to the environment config file the following command:

  file_manager_enabled: true
  

• Only for ES environments, it is also required to set the lines below, as the Whatsapp channel is already configured to accept this configuration in the environment config file:

  clients:
    wa:
      file_attachments:
        enabled: true
  

• If the clients structure already exists in the config file, merge this configuration with the current one:

  • WhatsApp channels need to have enabled attachments:

    {
        name: 'nameOfChannel',
        requestOptions: {
            fileAttachments: {
                enabled: true
            }
        }
    }
