Why WhatsApp links need this
To let people message you on WhatsApp without saving your number first, you need a wa.me click-to-chat link, and getting the format and country code right by hand is fiddly. This tool builds it for you from a number and an optional pre-filled message, so one tap opens a chat with your text already typed.

More about WhatsApp links
Why click-to-chat matters in India
In India, countless small shops, tutors and resellers run their business inside WhatsApp rather than a website. A click-to-chat link lets someone who spotted your product on Instagram or a printed poster open a chat with you instantly, skipping the save-the-number-then-search dance that quietly loses casual enquiries before they ever start. That first tap is where a browser becomes a buyer.
Pre-filled messages that route the conversation
A pre-filled message does more than save typing. Write it to carry context: "I want to order item 24, size M" or "Booking enquiry for Saturday". The buyer arrives with the details already in the box, so you are not starting from a blank "Hi". Make a separate link per product, campaign or table, and each conversation opens already knowing why it began.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do people need to save my number?+
No. A wa.me click-to-chat link opens a chat with you directly, so nobody has to save your number first.
Can I pre-fill a message?+
Yes. You can add a default message that appears typed in the chat, ready for the person to send.
What number format should I use?+
Use the full international format with country code and no plus sign or spaces, for example 919876543210 for India.
Does it work on desktop?+
Yes. The link opens WhatsApp on the phone app, and WhatsApp Web or the desktop app on a computer.
Is it free?+
Yes. Generating a WhatsApp link is free. Sign in only if you want to shorten, brand or track it.
Can I make different WhatsApp links for different products?+
Yes. Generate a separate link for each product, offer or team, each with its own pre-filled message. Sign in and every link keeps its own real-time click count, so you can see which product or poster is actually starting conversations.
Will the pre-filled message send automatically?+
No. WhatsApp opens the chat with your text typed into the message box, but the person still taps send themselves. That is by design: they can read it, edit it or add a detail before the conversation actually reaches you.
