Linking A Whatsapp Button To Your Website
The “click to chat” feature on Whatsapp allows individuals to create a link anywhere on their website. The link opens to a new WhatsApp chat with a particular number. The “click to chat” feature is available on both Whatsapp web and mobile. When the visitors on your website click on the link, a new chat containing a default message will open. The link to WhatsApp can be from any element on the website, including an image or the menu tab. Read the instructions below to begin the process of linking,
- Add a button to your webpage which will be able to direct visitors to the appropriate place. The button can also lead to other pages on your website and external sources, excluding WhatsApp.
- Change the text of the button. The button text should encourage your visitors to interact with the website. “Contact Us” or “Reach Us” can be two possible texts for the WhatsApp link button on your website.
- After that, you will have to click on the link icon and web address, respectively.
- In the next step, you will be given two options to choose from. You can create a link without a message. For that, you will have to only put in your phone number but in international format. You should not include any dashes or brackets while entering the phone number.
- The link can also be created using a custom message. After adding the phone number, you have to add the custom message. You should remember that the custom message cannot have any spaces. Use %20 to add spaces between each word in the custom message. It is better to add a custom message in the link and offer your customers a personalised feel.
- After you have added the phone number and custom message, you will have to click on “Done” and end the process.
