WhatsApp guide

Create a WhatsApp Link

Create a direct WhatsApp URL that opens a chat in one click, with or without a prefilled message.

The fastest way to create a WhatsApp link

WhatsApp supports click-to-chat URLs. A basic link follows the wa.me format and contains the international phone number.

A custom message can be appended as a URL-encoded text parameter, letting the visitor open WhatsApp with a message already prepared.

Where to use a WhatsApp URL

Place the link on landing pages, social media bios, email signatures, sales pages, product pages and support buttons.

Because the URL can be copied anywhere, it is also useful when you want a consistent call-to-action across several channels.

When one WhatsApp number is not enough

Sending every visitor to one number can overload one agent while others remain idle. A WhatsApp link rotator solves that by distributing traffic between multiple numbers.

LinkRotator also records click activity so you can see how much traffic your public link receives.

Frequently asked questions

Do people need to save my number first?

No. A click-to-chat link can open the conversation directly without saving the contact first.

Can I use the same WhatsApp link on Instagram and my website?

Yes. The same public URL can be shared across websites, social profiles, emails and campaigns.

Can I change the destination later?

With a LinkRotator smart redirect link, you can change destinations in the dashboard without changing the public short link.
