How to create a WhatsApp link

Enter your phone number with its country code, add an optional message that will be pre-filled for the customer, and generate your link. Share the wa.me link anywhere. When someone taps it, WhatsApp opens a chat with you and your message ready to send, and they never have to save your number first.

Why a click-to-chat link helps

Most people would rather message a business than call or fill in a form, and in India WhatsApp is where those conversations already happen. A click-to-chat link removes the friction of saving a contact, so more people actually start the conversation.

Where to use it

Put the link on your link-in-bio page, or turn it into a QR code for print. More detail is in the guide to a free WhatsApp click-to-chat link. Browse all free tools.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need the WhatsApp Business API for this?
No. This tool builds a standard wa.me click-to-chat link that works with any WhatsApp account. No API and no approval are needed.
Do I have to include the country code?
Yes. Enter your number with the country code and no plus sign or spaces, for example 91 followed by the number for India, so the link works everywhere.
Is my phone number stored or uploaded?
No. The link is built in your browser and nothing is uploaded. Your number only appears in the link you choose to share.
Can I pre-fill a message?
Yes. Add a message and it will appear ready to send when the customer opens the chat, which makes it easier for them to reach out.
Can I turn the link into a QR code?
Yes. Create the link here, then paste it into the QR code generator to get a scannable code for posters and packaging.
