How to use the WhatsApp Link Generator
Step 1: Choose the country code
Select the country of your WhatsApp number. India (+91) is selected by default.
Step 2: Enter your WhatsApp number
Type the phone number without the country code, spaces or a leading zero. The tool checks the length for you.
Step 3: Add a pre-filled message (optional)
Write the message customers will see typed in the chat box, such as “Hi, I want to know more about your products”.
Step 4: Copy and test your link
Copy the generated wa.me link, click “Test in WhatsApp” to check it opens the right chat, and paste it anywhere.
Step 5: Add a chat button to your website
Copy the HTML snippet and paste it into your site’s footer or before the closing body tag to show a floating “Chat on WhatsApp” button.
What is a WhatsApp click-to-chat link?
A click-to-chat link is an official WhatsApp URL (wa.me) that opens a chat with a specific number without the customer saving it as a contact first. It works on phones, WhatsApp Desktop and WhatsApp Web.
Because it is just a link, you can put it anywhere: your Instagram bio, Google Business Profile, emails, SMS, invoices, website buttons and QR codes on packaging or store counters.
Why add a pre-filled message?
A pre-filled message removes the “what do I type?” moment, so more visitors actually start the chat. It also tells your team where the lead came from: for example “Hi, I saw your Diwali offer on Instagram”.
If you route chats with a chatbot, a consistent opening message can act as a keyword that triggers the right flow automatically.
Where should you use your WhatsApp link?
The best-performing placements are the ones closest to buying intent: product pages, checkout help, pricing pages, Instagram and Facebook bios, Google Business Profile and order confirmation emails.
For offline traffic, turn the same link into a QR code with our free WhatsApp QR code generator and print it on menus, flyers, standees and shipping boxes.
From a link to a full WhatsApp funnel
A wa.me link starts conversations; the WhatsApp Business API helps you handle them at scale. With Chatbox AI you can answer those chats from a shared team inbox, reply instantly with a no-code chatbot, and follow up with broadcast campaigns, all on the official API.

Does a wa.me link work with a WhatsApp Business account? Yes. Click-to-chat links work with personal WhatsApp, the WhatsApp Business app and numbers connected to the WhatsApp Business API. The only requirement is that the number is registered on WhatsApp.
How do I write my number in a WhatsApp link? Use the full international number in digits only: country code followed by the phone number, with no “+”, spaces, brackets, dashes or leading zero. An Indian number 098765 43210 becomes 919876543210, so the link is wa.me/919876543210.
Can I add emojis or line breaks in the pre-filled message? Yes. The generator URL-encodes your message, so emojis, line breaks, Hindi and other languages and special characters like & or # are passed correctly. Keep it short, one or two lines, so customers can edit it easily before sending.
Does the WhatsApp link expire? No. A wa.me link does not expire. It keeps working as long as the phone number stays registered on WhatsApp. If you change numbers, generate a new link and update your website, bios and QR codes.
Can I track clicks on my WhatsApp link? The wa.me link itself has no analytics. You can wrap it in a UTM-tagged redirect or use a unique pre-filled message per channel. With Chatbox AI on the WhatsApp Business API, every incoming chat is tracked in analytics and tagged in the team inbox.
