Click to chat link
With the click-to-chat feature, you can redirect your landing page users to your WhatsApp chat without making them share their phone number.
1. Create your link: use https://wa.me/’number’ and change ‘number’ to your full phone number in international format.
IMPORTANT: Omit any zeroes, brackets, or dashes in the phone number in international format.
Example: https://wa.me/48123123123
2. In the landing page editor, select the text, which will be your chat link, and click the hyperlink icon.
3. Choose Redirect and paste the link to your chat. Save and close and publish your landing page.
4. You can also add a pre-filled message that will automatically appear in a chat’s text field.
Use https://wa.me/phonenumber?text=urlencodedtext and change phonenumber to a full phone number in international format and urlencodedtext to an URL-encoded pre-filled message. Add the link as described above.
Example: https://wa.me/48123123123?text=I’d%20like%20to%20buy
NOTE: Each word in the URL-encoded pre-filled message should be separated with %20.
5. At the end, do not forget to check if your link works correctly.
