How to build a WhatsApp click-to-chat URL (wa. me)
Updated over 9 months ago

Since your clients need to add your WhatsApp number to chat with you, it's easy to include a short link in your social profiles or online so that they can click to chat with you directly.

You can use our easy-to-use free tool WhatsApp link generator

Or you can follow the manual steps below :

Creating your link

Use https://wa.me/<number> where the <number> is a full phone number in international format. When adding the phone number in the international format, omit any zeroes, brackets, or dashes.

Examples:

Don't use: https://wa.me/+001-(XXX)XXXXXXX

Using BusinessChat's official WhatsApp account: https://wa.me/962788037799

Or you can simply use our free wa.me link generator

Create your link with a pre-filled message

The pre-filled message will automatically appear in the text field of a chat.

Use https://wa.me/whatsappphonenumber?text=urlencodedtext where the WhatsApp phone number is a total phone number in the international format, and URL-encoded text is the URL-encoded pre-filled message.
