WhatsApp Link Generator
Create a click-to-chat link (wa.me) with a ready-to-send message. Put it on your website, Instagram bio, email signature or Google Business Profile so customers can message you in one tap.
How to use it
Create a WhatsApp link in 3 steps
- 1. Add your number. Choose your country and type your WhatsApp number without the country code.
- 2. Write a message (optional). This text appears ready to send when the customer opens the chat.
- 3. Copy and test. Copy the link, then press Test link to check that it opens the right chat.
What is a WhatsApp click-to-chat link?
A click-to-chat link is a normal web link that opens a WhatsApp conversation with your number. It looks like https://wa.me/919876543210. On a phone it opens WhatsApp, and on a computer it opens WhatsApp Web or the desktop app. The person does not have to save your number first.
The part after wa.me/ is your full phone number in international format: the country code followed by the number, with no plus sign, spaces, dashes or leading zeros. To pre-fill a message, add ?text= followed by the message with spaces and special characters encoded. This generator does the formatting and encoding for you.
The customer still has to press send, so a pre-filled message saves them typing. It is not an automatic message.
Where to use your WhatsApp link
- Buttons and the contact page of your website
- Instagram and Facebook profiles
- Email signatures
- Google Business Profile and online listings
- Social media posts and ads
- Printed material, as a QR code
Tips for links that get more chats
- Say what the customer wants. "Hi, I saw your 2 BHK listing in Boring Road and would like to visit" works better than "Hi".
- Use a different message for each page or campaign. You will know where each chat came from.
- Keep it short. One or two lines is enough.
- Test on a phone. Make sure the right number and message open.
- Reply quickly. A link is only useful if someone answers the chat.
