Frequently asked questions
What does a WhatsApp chat link look like?
It starts with https://wa.me/ followed by your full phone number with the country code, for example https://wa.me/2348012345678. If you add a welcome message, it is added to the end of the link as ?text= followed by the message.
What happens when someone clicks the link?
It opens a chat with you in the WhatsApp app on their phone, or in WhatsApp Web or the desktop app on a computer. If you added a welcome message, it appears ready to send. They just tap send.
Does it cost anything to create a WhatsApp link?
No. Creating WhatsApp chat links and QR codes with this tool is completely free.
Does it work with the WhatsApp Business app?
Yes. Chat links work with any number registered on WhatsApp, whether you use WhatsApp, the WhatsApp Business app or the WhatsApp Business Platform through Lead Bird.
Do my customers need to save my number first?
No. That’s the main benefit: the chat opens straight away without anyone adding you to their contacts.
