How it works
How to Create a WhatsApp Link
Enter the phone number.
Do not repeat the country code. Remove a local leading zero when international format requires it.
Add a prefilled message.
Write the optional text you want the visitor to see when WhatsApp opens.
Generate and test the result.
Confirm that it reaches the correct account with the full message.
Copy or download.
Share the link online or download the QR code for printed materials.
The visitor can start the chat without saving your number. Browse Dealism's free messaging tools for other formats.
The link structure
How a wa.me Link Works
A WhatsApp click-to-chat link follows this structure:
https://wa.me/<international-number>?text=<encoded-message>
Example:
https://wa.me/14155550100?text=Hi%2C%20I%27d%20like%20to%20ask%20about%20your%20pricing.
| Link part | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| https://wa.me/ | WhatsApp's click-to-chat domain | https://wa.me/ |
| Country code | International dialing code | 1 |
| Phone number | Remaining digits | 4155550100 |
| ?text= | Optional prefilled-message parameter | ?text=Hi%20there |
Use international format without a plus sign, spaces, brackets, or dashes. The WhatsApp Help Center explains click to chat and its number rules.
The generator URL-encodes spaces, punctuation, ampersands, and emojis automatically. MDN's encoding reference explains the format.

Ready-made messages
Copy These Prefilled WhatsApp Messages
Write from the visitor's point of view. Identify the request without collecting every detail at once.
Hi, I'm interested in [product]. Could you share the price and availability?
Hi, I'd like to book [service]. What times are available this week?
Hi, I need help with [service] in [location]. Could I get an estimate?
Hi, I need help with order [order number]. The issue is [short description].
Hi, I'd like to reserve a table for [number of guests] on [date and time].
Clear messages show why the person opened the chat.
Where to use it
Where to Share Your WhatsApp Link
Instagram bio
Add a CTA such as “Ask about availability on WhatsApp,” and mention Instagram in the prefilled message.
Website and product pages
Use it for contact, quote, product-question, or booking links. For a persistent widget, try the WhatsApp chat button generator.
Google Business Profile
Help local searchers start a chat. Google documents the international-format wa.me address used as a Business Profile WhatsApp URL.
Email signatures and campaigns
Add it after a specific invitation such as “Questions about your quote? Continue on WhatsApp.”
Download the QR code for menus, flyers, receipts, signs, or packaging. For more design options, use the WhatsApp QR code generator.
Choose the right format
WhatsApp Link vs. QR Code vs. Chat Button
| Format | Best use | What the customer does |
|---|---|---|
| WhatsApp link | Bios, email, messages, ads | Taps the URL |
| WhatsApp QR code | Menus, packaging, posters, stores | Scans with a phone |
| WhatsApp chat button | Websites and landing pages | Taps a visible page button |
All three can open the same chat: use a link online, a QR code offline, and a button on a website.
Source tracking
Track Where WhatsApp Conversations Start
A standard wa.me link has no complete analytics dashboard. Create a different prefilled message for each source:
“Hi, I found you on Instagram and want to ask about…”
“Hi, I found your business on Google and need…”
Product page
“Hi, I'm looking at [product name] and want to know…”
Campaign
“Hi, I'm asking about the [campaign name] offer.”
The first message provides context. At higher volume, WhatsApp automation can handle repeatable requests.
Troubleshooting
Why Is My WhatsApp Link Not Working?
| Problem | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Wrong chat opens | Country code or phone number is incorrect | Verify both fields and regenerate the link |
| WhatsApp says the number is invalid | The number is mistyped or not registered on WhatsApp | Confirm the complete number in WhatsApp |
| The number contains +, spaces, or brackets | Local formatting was copied into the URL | Use digits only after wa.me/ |
| Country code appears twice | It was entered in both form fields | Keep it only in the country-code field |
| A local leading zero remains | The national trunk prefix was included | Remove it when international format requires it |
| Prefilled message is incomplete | The URL was edited without encoding | Regenerate it instead of editing the query manually |
| QR code opens an old destination | It was created before the number or message changed | Generate and download a new QR code |
Test the final link on a phone before using it in ads or print.
From link to conversation
A Link Starts the Chat. Dealism Continues It.
A WhatsApp link removes the need to save a number. It cannot answer the question, understand the customer, or decide when a person should step in.
Dealism combines an automation layer with an AI Customer Agent. Automation handles repeatable steps; the agent answers questions, clarifies needs, recommends next actions, and hands off when human judgment matters.
