Frequently Asked Questions

What does a WhatsApp link look like?

A WhatsApp link always begins with wa.me/ followed by your WhatsApp number. It may also contain a URL-encoded pre-filled message at the end.

What happens after my customers click on a WhatsApp link or wa.me link?

When clicked, a WhatsApp link opens a chat window in the app or on WhatsApp web where customers can chat directly with your business.

How much does it cost to generate a WhatsApp link?

It costs nothing to create WhatsApp chat links. Respond.io’s WhatsApp Link creator is free to use!

How can I track where leads come from when they click on a WhatsApp link?

WhatsApp link doesn’t support UTM tracking. To track where WhatsApp leads are generated through WhatsApp link, create a unique reference for each source. Then, add them to the pre-filled message of the WhatsApp link. Please note, the tracking method will only work if the customers use the existing custom pre-filled message.

Does a WhatsApp link work in my country?

WhatsApp link works in any country where WhatsApp is available. Being one of the most popular messaging apps, WhatsApp is available in the majority of countries. This includes countries in Europe, Asia, America, Africa, and Oceania.

Can I embed a WhatsApp link in an image?

Definitely! Just like any other link, WhatsApp links can be embedded in images or GIFs. Apart from that, you can also embed a WhatsApp link in a custom banner or widget on your website.

I’m a current respond.io user, can I also generate a WhatsApp link from the platform?

Yes! If you are a respond.io user, you can generate a WhatsApp link or WhatsApp QR code with the Code Generator on the platform. Simply navigate to Workplace Settings > Channels > WhatsApp > Code Generator.

There are several ways to add a WhatsApp click to chat link to Instagram:

  • Add a WhatsApp action button to the Instagram profile
  • Add a WhatsApp link to the Instagram bio
  • Add a WhatsApp link to an Instagram Stories highlight

Instead of getting customers to start a WhatsApp conversation with me via WhatsApp link, can I send the first message proactively?
