What is a WhatsApp link?
A WhatsApp link is a URL that opens a chat with a specific phone number. It reduces friction because the visitor does not need to manually type or save the number.
The link can also include a prefilled message to give the conversation context before the customer sends the first message.
WhatsApp links for business
Sales teams can use direct chat links on landing pages and offers. Support teams can place them in help centers, order pages or email signatures.
Marketing teams can use tracked redirect links so they know which campaigns generate clicks before the visitor enters WhatsApp.
One link, multiple WhatsApp numbers
LinkRotator lets a team publish one link while maintaining multiple WhatsApp destinations behind it.
This makes it possible to balance lead flow and update numbers without replacing the public link everywhere it has already been shared.

Frequently asked questions

The standard click-to-chat format uses wa.me followed by the full international phone number.
Can I track clicks on a WhatsApp link?

Can one link open different WhatsApp numbers?
Yes. A WhatsApp link rotator can distribute visitors between multiple configured numbers.
