Enter a phone number and the click-to-chat link and QR code build themselves.

How a click-to-chat link works

WhatsApp publishes one official address for this: wa.me. You append the phone number in international format, and optionally a pre-filled message. There is no API to call and no approval to wait for. The link works for any number that has WhatsApp, on a personal account or a Business one.

Anatomy of the link

PartWhat it does
https://wa.me/WhatsApp’s official short domain for click-to-chat
905321234567Country code and number, digits only: no +, spaces, dashes or leading zero
?text=Starts the optional pre-filled message
Hi%20thereThe message, URL-encoded, so spaces become %20 automatically

Three mistakes that break the link

Keeping the leading zero

A national number like 0532 123 45 67 becomes 905321234567: the country code replaces the zero. Leaving it in sends people to a number that does not exist.

Typing the plus sign

wa.me wants bare digits. A + in the URL is either dropped or encoded as a space, and the chat never opens.

Pasting an unencoded message

Line breaks, ampersands and question marks cut the message short when they are not encoded. This tool encodes as you type, so copy the finished link rather than assembling one by hand.

Where to put it

  • Instagram and TikTok bio, where a tappable link beats a phone number nobody copies
  • Your website header, as a button next to the phone number
  • Email signature and invoices, so a question never becomes a lost thread
  • Printed QR on the counter, the menu, the shop window or the delivery box
  • Ad campaigns, so the click lands in a conversation instead of a form

The link is the easy half

A click-to-chat link creates conversations. What decides whether they turn into revenue is what happens after the first message: who answers, how fast, whether the last three messages from that customer are visible, and whether anyone remembers to follow up.

  • Every incoming chat lands in a shared inbox your whole team works from, with an owner on each conversation
  • Each number becomes a contact record, so the history is there the next time they write
  • AI replies in your voice while you sleep and hands the conversation over when it needs a person
  • Follow-ups go out on a schedule and stop the moment the customer replies

Frequently asked questions

Yes, with no account and no limit. Everything runs in your browser: the number you type is never sent to us or stored anywhere.
No. Click-to-chat links work with a normal WhatsApp account. A Business account adds a catalogue, labels and away messages, but the link itself is the same.
No, and that is the point. A click-to-chat link opens a conversation with a number the person has never saved, which is exactly what a phone number printed on a poster cannot do.
The message is part of the link, so changing it means generating a new link. If the message is printed on a QR code, generate the new link first and reprint, because the old QR keeps sending the old text.
No. It appears in the chat box and the person taps send. WhatsApp deliberately keeps that last step manual, which is also why these links do not count as unsolicited messaging.
They do the same job. wa.me is the short form WhatsApp recommends for sharing; api.whatsapp.com/send is the longer form that behaves slightly better inside some desktop browsers. This tool generates the wa.me form.
