Type your number and pick a first message. You get a link that opens a chat with you, ready to send, which you can put in a bio, a status, a Google profile or an email. It is made in your browser, so nothing you type reaches a server. What you getA click-to-chat WhatsApp link with a first message already typed. Your number and message stay on this page. We never see them. ## The tool WhatsApp numberA 10 digit number is taken as an Indian mobile. For any other country, start with the country code, for example 971 for the UAE. First message Message people will see ready to send (you can change it)50 of 500 characters. Leave it empty to open a blank chat. Your WhatsApp link Enter a mobile number to see the link. Test the link on your own phone before you share it. If WhatsApp is not installed, it opens WhatsApp Web instead. ## How a WhatsApp link works A WhatsApp click-to-chat link is wa.me, then the number with its country code and no plus sign or spaces, then an optional?text= and the message. Anyone who taps it opens a chat with you, with the message ready to send. | Part | Example | What it does | | --- | --- | --- | | Address | https://wa.me/ | Opens WhatsApp on a phone, or WhatsApp Web on a computer. | | Number | 91 then your 10 digit number | Country code first (91 for India), then the number, digits only. | | Message | ?text=Hi%20there | The first message, with spaces written as %20. The tool does this for you. | Parts of a wa.me link - ### Where to use it Your Instagram bio, Google Business Profile, email signature, website button and status. Put it where a person is already ready to talk. - ### Test it Open the link on your own phone before you share it, and send the message to yourself to see what a customer sees. ## Before you share it. - ### Use a number you answer The link opens a chat with whoever has that number. Use the one you check during the day, and keep the same number on your Google profile and website. - ### Keep the first message short A line that names what they want, such as a price or a visit, gets a faster and clearer reply than a blank chat. People can still edit it before they send. - ### Say what the link does Put a few words before it, such as Chat with us on WhatsApp. A bare link in a bio does not tell anyone what will happen when they tap it. - ### Test it on your phone Open the link yourself and send the message to a friend or a second number. Check the number and the words before you share it widely. ## Use this next Free tools for the same job - [QR code generatorA QR for WhatsApp, a review link or a website, ready to print.](https://www.ingenioushub.com/tools/qr-code-generator) - [Social profile checkupTen questions on whether your Instagram or LinkedIn profile tells a stranger what you do.](https://www.ingenioushub.com/tools/social-profile-checkup) - [Google listing self-checkEleven questions on what a local customer sees on your listing, then three fixes.](https://www.ingenioushub.com/tools/google-listing-check) Read before you decide - [WhatsApp Business setup for small business](https://www.ingenioushub.com/notes/whatsapp-business-setup-for-indian-small-businesses) - [Your WhatsApp catalogue is a brand asset](https://www.ingenioushub.com/notes/jaipur-whatsapp-catalogue-notes) [All free tools](https://www.ingenioushub.com/tools) ## About this tool.

The tool gives you a link that starts with https://wa.me/. Anyone who taps it opens a chat with you. **How do I put a WhatsApp link in my Instagram bio?** Copy the link from this page, open your Instagram profile, choose Edit profile, and paste it into the Links field. Many people add a short line of text before it so visitors know what it does. **Is a wa.me link free?** Yes. A wa.me link is a standard WhatsApp feature. It is free to make and use, and the tool works on your device without sending your number anywhere. **Can I add a ready message to a WhatsApp link?** Yes. The text after?text= is the first message. The person can edit it before sending. Keep it short and clear, such as asking for a price or booking a visit. **How do I write the number in a WhatsApp link?** Use the country code first, then the number, with digits only: no plus sign, spaces or dashes. For India, 91 followed by the 10 digit mobile number. This tool adds 91 if you type 10 digits. **Does a WhatsApp link work on a computer?** Yes. On a computer it opens WhatsApp Web or the desktop app. If WhatsApp is not installed on a phone, the link opens a page that asks the person to install it. **Can I track clicks on a WhatsApp link?** A wa.me link does not carry website tags. To see which place sends visits to a web page, tag that web link instead. For chats, ask people how they found you, or use a different first message in each place. ## Need a hand? **From** Jaipur **Via** Free tools **To** Your project Setting up WhatsApp for a shop or a studio?
