How to make a WhatsApp link
Enter the WhatsApp number with its country code (India is +91, already selected), write the message you want customers to start with, and copy the link. It looks like https://wa.me/919876543210?text=Hi. Anyone who taps it gets a chat with you, without saving your number first.
Where a WhatsApp link earns its keep
- Instagram and Facebook bio. "DM us" loses people. A WhatsApp link keeps the conversation where Indian customers already reply fastest.
- Google Business profile. Add it as your website or in posts so people searching "near me" can message instead of calling.
- Ads. Use it as the destination for a "Chat on WhatsApp" button, with a message that names the ad.
- Bills, emails and visiting cards. Pair it with a WhatsApp QR code for print.
What happens after the chats start coming in?
A link is the front door. Once enquiries pile up, answering each one by hand gets slow. That's where a WhatsApp chatbot and the WhatsApp Business API come in: instant replies, order updates and broadcasts to everyone who messaged you.
