Pre-filled message

Your WhatsApp link

Enter your number to create the link.

The link opens your chat on phone and desktop with the message already typed. Your customer just taps send.

A WhatsApp link is a web address that starts a chat with a number without the person saving it as a contact. It can carry a pre-filled message: the text appears typed in the chat box and the person only has to tap send. It's the "Message us" button on your Instagram bio, your Google Business Profile or your website.

WhatsApp calls this click to chat and uses the short domain wa.me. This tool builds the link in the right format for your country, ready to copy, and can turn it into a QR code.

The official format is https://wa.me/ followed by the number in international format: country code and number, with no plus sign, spaces, dashes or leading zero. A message goes after ?text=, encoded so spaces and accents work in any browser.

CountryWhat you typeThe link
United States(201) 555-0123https://wa.me/12015550123
Brazil(11) 91234-5678https://wa.me/5511912345678
Mexico55 1234 5678https://wa.me/525512345678
Spain612 34 56 78https://wa.me/34612345678

With a message, the US link looks like this: https://wa.me/12015550123?text=Hi%2C%20I%27d%20like%20to%20place%20an%20order. The tool does the encoding for you.

Where to use your WhatsApp link

  • Instagram and TikTok bio, as your main link or in your link page.
  • Google Business Profile, in the website or messaging field.
  • Your website, on the contact button.
  • Email signatures and invoices, so customers reach you where you answer fastest.
  • Ads and posts, with a different message per campaign so you know which one worked.
  • Print: for counters and flyers, use the WhatsApp QR code generator.

Pre-filled messages that work

  • "Hi, I'd like to place an order" for your main button.
  • "Hi, can you send me your catalog with prices?" for product posts.
  • "Hi, I saw your October promo" for campaigns, so you know where each chat came from.
  • "Hi, I'd like to book an appointment" for services and clinics.

Common mistakes that break the link

  • Missing country code. wa.me/2015550123 won't open your chat; it needs the 1 in front.
  • A leading 0 or local prefix. Drop it in international format.
  • Spaces or symbols in the number. The link accepts digits only.
  • The number doesn't have WhatsApp. The chat opens with an error message.

When the chats start piling up

A good link brings more conversations. If answering them becomes the bottleneck, Zavora's WhatsApp AI agent replies 24/7, takes the order and sends it to your dashboard. See pricing.

FAQ

Questions businesses ask before starting

Is the WhatsApp link generator free?

Yes. It's free, with no sign-up and no limit. The link is built in your browser and your number is not sent to Zavora.

Does a wa.me link expire?

No. A wa.me link keeps working as long as the number has WhatsApp. If you change numbers, create a new link.

Do I need WhatsApp Business to use a click-to-chat link?

No. wa.me links work with both WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business numbers.

Why does my link open the wrong chat?

Usually the country code is missing or the number includes a leading 0 or symbols. A wa.me link needs the full international number, digits only, like 12015550123 for a US number.

Can I track which link a customer used?

Use a different pre-filled message per campaign, such as 'Hi, I saw your October promo'. Each chat then tells you where it came from.
