WhatsApp link generator
Make a wa.me link that opens a chat with your business, with a message already typed in. Download it as a QR code for cards, standees and counters.
How a WhatsApp link works
WhatsApp’s click-to-chat feature opens a chat with any number from a simple link: https://wa.me/followed by the full number in international format, without the plus sign, spaces or dashes. Add?text= and an encoded message to have it typed in already, so the customer only taps send.
- Indian number, no message:
https://wa.me/919876543210 - With a message:
https://wa.me/919876543210?text=Hi%2C%20I%27d%20like%20a%20quote
Message ideas that get more replies
- Coaching: "Hi, I’d like the fee details and timings for the weekend batch."
- Real estate: "Hi, please share price and floor plans for 2BHK and 3BHK."
- Clinic: "Hi, I’d like to book a consultation this week."
- Home services: "Hi, I need a quote for AC servicing."
- From an ad: mention the offer, e.g. "Hi, I saw your Diwali offer on Instagram."
A specific pre-filled message tells you which product and which placement the lead came from, and lets you reply with exactly the right information.
Where to put your link and QR code
- Instagram and Facebook bio, and story link stickers
- Google Business Profile and your website’s contact button
- Email signature, invoices and quotations
- QR code on visiting cards, standees, brochures, product packaging and the shop counter
- Ads: or use click-to-WhatsApp ads, where Meta opens the chat for you
When the chats start coming in
A link brings conversations; replying fast turns them into sales. Leads who get an answer within minutes convert far better than those who wait (see speed to lead). OakDeal’s AI replies to every new WhatsApp chat in seconds from your business facts, marks each lead Hot, Warm or Cold and follows up until they buy or say no.
