What is Call-to-Action URL Buttons?

Buttons in a WhatsApp message that open a website link or start a phone call when tapped.

Call-to-action URL buttons are interactive buttons that perform an action outside the chat when tapped — most commonly opening a web URL, and in some cases dialing a phone number. Unlike quick reply buttons, they do not send a reply back to the business; they send the customer somewhere.

They are used to drive customers to a checkout page, a booking link, a tracking page, a form, or an app. A message can pair CTA buttons with quick replies to offer both an external action and an in-chat response.

CTA URL buttons bridge the conversation to your wider funnel, turning a WhatsApp message into a click-through to deeper engagement.

CTA buttons turn messages into clean click-throughs to checkout, booking, or tracking pages, connecting chat to your funnel.
