Guide
A click-to-chat link opens a WhatsApp conversation with your number, optionally with a pre-filled message. Here is how to create and use one.
Use your full number with country code and no plus sign, spaces, or dashes, for example 14155551234.
Create a link in the form https://wa.me/<number> so anyone who clicks it starts a chat with you.
Append a text parameter to pre-load a message, which is great for support, sales, or campaign tracking.
Use a free WhatsApp link generator to build, encode, and copy links without manually formatting the URL.
Add the link to your bio, website, email signature, ads, and a QR code so customers can reach you in one tap.
Both open a chat with your number. wa.me is the shorter, more common format, while api.whatsapp.com is the longer legacy form. Both support a pre-filled message.
Yes. Add an encoded text parameter to the link and the customer's input box opens with your message ready to send.
