Questions about WhatsApp Click to Chat
A WhatsApp Click to Chat link (wa.me link) is a URL that opens a WhatsApp conversation with a specific phone number when clicked- without the customer needing to save the number first. On desktop, it prompts the user to open WhatsApp Web or the desktop app.
The basic format is https://wa.me/[country code][phone number]- e.g. https://wa.me/919876543210. To add a pre-filled message, append ?text= followed by the URL-encoded message. Use the generator above to build yours automatically.
Yes- creating and sharing a wa.me link is completely free. For WhatsApp Business API accounts, conversations that begin from the link are charged at standard conversation rates (service conversations are free for the first 1,000 per month). See WhatsApp API pricing.
Yes- Click to Chat works with any WhatsApp number. Without the API you lose automation: no chatbot, no CRM integration, no after-hours responses, no analytics. Past 50 enquiries a day, the API becomes essential. See WhatsApp Chatbot.
For API accounts, configure your chatbot to capture the entry point using different pre-filled messages per placement- 'Website Homepage Enquiry' vs 'Instagram Bio Enquiry'. The chatbot logs the entry message and your CRM records the source.
Specific enough to give context, short enough that customers send it without editing. Good examples: 'Website Enquiry', 'Enquiry from Instagram'. Keep it under 10 words.
Yes- create separate links with different pre-filled messages per department. The same number receives all of them, and your chatbot routes each based on the pre-filled keyword. This requires WhatsApp Business API with chatbot routing.
Yes. Clicking a wa.me link on a desktop browser opens WhatsApp Web or the desktop app if installed, with the pre-filled message ready to send. For websites, pair a QR code alongside the link button.
