Facebook Graph API webhook is not sending the GIF image attachments in DMs

Question

I have implemented a messenger bot application to get the Facebook DM's using Facebook Graph API webhooks and send the responses from my application. Webhook is working fine to get the messages, attachments (type: images).

Sample webhook output:

• Text responses:

{"object":"page","entry":[{"id":"xxx","time":123,"messaging":[{"sender":{"id":"yyy"},"recipient":{"id":"zzz"},"timestamp":123,"message":{"mid":"id","text":"Sample text!"}}]}]}

• Image responses:

{"object":"page","entry":[{"id":"xxx","time":123,"messaging":[{"sender":{"id":"yyy"},"recipient":{"id":"zzz"},"timestamp":123,"message":{"mid":"id","attachments":[{"type":"image","payload":{"url":"<url>"}}]}]}

Issue: Facebook API Webhook is NOT sending the attachment type ".gif" images.

{"object":"page","entry":[{"id":"xxx","time":123,"messaging":[{"sender":{"id":"yyy"},"recipient":{"id":"zzz"},"timestamp":123,"message":{"mid":"id"}}]}]}
