What is Click-to-Chat Link?

A shareable link that opens a WhatsApp conversation with a business, optionally with a preset message.

A click-to-chat link is a URL that, when opened on a device with WhatsApp, launches a chat with a specified business number. It can include a pre-filled message so the customer simply hits send, removing friction from starting the conversation.

These links work without saving the number to contacts and can be placed anywhere a link can go: websites, emails, ads, social bios, SMS, and buttons. They are the foundation of many WhatsApp entry points, including QR codes and chat widgets.

Because they capture the customer's number on first reply, click-to-chat links are a primary tool for generating opt-in conversations across channels.
