In this tutorial, you will create one WhatsApp click-to-chat link.

Time needed: 8 minutes

Before you start

Make sure:

  • You are logged in to Wabot.
  • The WhatsApp account for the link shows Online.

Link Generator is under CORE. The link opens a chat to that number. It does not send a Broadcast.

1. Open Link Generator

On the left menu, click Link Generator.

2. Select the account

Under Select WhatsApp Account, pick the number customers should message.

3. Write the pre-filled message

Under Pre-filled Message, type a short greeting.

Hi, I want to ask about your products.

4. Copy the Generated Link

Find Generated Link.

Copy the URL.

Open Style Options only if you need a QR code for print. Download the QR after you change the style.

5. Test on your phone

Open the link on a phone.

WhatsApp should open to that business number, with your greeting ready to send.

Make sure it worked

This tutorial worked when:

  • Generated Link shows a wa.me URL.
  • The phone test opens WhatsApp with the pre-filled message.
  • The chat is to the account you selected.

If it didn’t work

Access Restricted

Ask the owner to turn on Link Generator permission.

The wrong number opens

Select the correct account under Select WhatsApp Account again.

You wanted a short bio link

Copy Generated Link first. A shortener is optional and separate.

Next

The link is ready. Next, save a reusable caption for replies.
