    A click-to-chat link opens a WhatsApp chat with your business in one tap, even if the customer has not saved your number.

    Format

    https://wa.me/919876543210?text=Hi%2C%20I%20want%20a%20quote

    • Use the full number with country code (91), no plus sign, spaces or dashes.
    • The text after ?text= is the pre-filled message, URL-encoded.

    Create links without mistakes using our WhatsApp link generator.

    Where to use them

    • Website buttons and contact pages.
    • Instagram bio and Stories link stickers.
    • Google Business Profile (as a website or booking link where appropriate).
    • Email signatures and newsletters.
    • Facebook posts and YouTube descriptions.

    Pre-filled messages that help

    • “Hi, I saw your Diwali offer on Instagram.”
    • “Hi, I want to book a home visit.”

    The message tells you where the lead came from.

    Tracking

    Track clicks on links as events in Analytics. For website-to-WhatsApp clicks, UTM-tag the page links with our UTM link builder.
