How do I create a WhatsApp link with a message?

Use the format https://wa.me/ ?text= , with the number in international format without +, spaces or leading zeros and the message URL-encoded. This tool does all of that for you.

Does it work with WhatsApp Business?

Yes. wa.me links work for both WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business numbers, on mobile and on WhatsApp Web or Desktop.

Why does the link say the number isn't on WhatsApp?

Check the country code and that you haven't included an extra leading 0. The number must be registered on WhatsApp for the chat to open.

Can I track clicks on my WhatsApp link?

wa.me links can't carry analytics tags. Track clicks on the button that holds the link using Google Tag Manager or GA4 events instead.

Tips to get more chats

Put the link on your website, Instagram bio, Google Business Profile and email signature.
Keep the pre-filled message short and specific, e.g. mention the product or offer people clicked on.
Print the QR code on packaging, menus, visiting cards and shop counters.
Using WhatsApp Business? Set a greeting and away message so every click gets a quick reply.
Add UTM tags to the page that hosts the button (not the wa.me link) to measure clicks in analytics.

Uses WhatsApp’s official click-to-chat format (https://wa.me/<number>?text=…). Your number and message stay in your browser; we don’t store them.

About

About this tool

A WhatsApp click-to-chat link opens a conversation with your number without the customer saving your contact first. It is one of the simplest ways for Indian and global small businesses to turn website visitors, Instagram followers and print customers into real conversations.

Choose your country code, type your number in any format and the generator cleans it up, checks the length and builds an official wa.me link. Add a pre-filled message such as “Hi, I'd like a quote for…” so chats start with context, and it is encoded correctly, emojis and line breaks included.

You also get a scannable QR code (PNG) for packaging, menus and visiting cards, plus an HTML button you can paste into any website. Want a link people can forward to anyone? Switch off the number and WhatsApp will ask who to send the message to. Everything is generated in your browser, so your number is never stored.
