DM with attach received from Account Activity webhook are missing media tag

[hernanlip]

We noticed that about a month ago the DM that we received from the webhook of Account Activity are missing media tag within entities, so it does not comply with the documentation https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/data-dictionary/overview/entities-object
It is a bug or a design decision?

Hi - thanks for pointing this out. The link that you’re pointing to is for a Tweet object, which is not the same thing as a Direct Message. We don’t currently have an example of a Direct Message payload that includes images, but we will add this soon.

Here is an example for now. The attachement will be outside of the entities field.
