How to create your own WhatsApp Click to Chat link

Step 1:

You can use https://wa.me/<number> where the <number> is a full phone number in international format.

Step 2:

Note that you must omit any zeroes, brackets, or dashes when adding the phone number.

Step 3:

For example, don’t use the link as - https://wa.me/+001-(XXX)XXXXXXX

Step 4:

Use this :  https://wa.me/1XXXXXXXXXX

Step 5:

You can also create your own link with a pre-filled message that will automatically appear in the text field of a chat.

Step 6:

Just use https://wa.me/whatsappphonenumber?text=urlencodedtext where ‘whatsappphonenumber’ is a full phone number in international format and urlencodedtext is the URL-encoded pre-filled message.

Step 7:

Example: https://wa.me/1XXXXXXXXXX?text=I'm%20interested%20in%20your%20car%20for%20sale

Step 8:

To create a link with just a pre-filled message, use https://wa.me/?text=urlencodedtext

Example: https://wa.me/?text=I'm%20inquiring%20about%20the%20apartment%20listing

Step 9:

After clicking on the link, you’ll be shown a list of contacts you can send your message to.
