How to create a WhatsApp link: step-by-step tutorial

Learn how to create a WhatsApp link quickly so you can paste it wherever you need it. Also find out why you should have a robust WhatsApp strategy for your company.

Learn how to create a WhatsApp link for your business

If you are not on WhatsApp, it is almost as if you do not exist. It may sound exaggerated, but in business, where speed and closeness to the customer are key, a direct WhatsApp link is a tool that can make a difference. If you have not yet thought about creating one for your company, here is why you should and how it can benefit you.

1. Make it easy to contact you

Imagine a customer wants to ask a quick question about one of your products or services. If they have to look up your number, save it on their phone, and then open WhatsApp to write to you, you are very likely to lose that chance to connect. With a direct WhatsApp link, that process comes down to a single click. It is simple, direct, and removes any barrier for the customer to reach you.

2. Convert more leads into customers

The sales process often depends on how quickly you answer your prospects' questions. If you give them a direct way to ask what they need to know, that conversation is much more likely to end in a sale. A WhatsApp link on your website, your social media, or even your emails can be the difference between a lost lead and a new customer.

3. Build stronger relationships

Closeness is key in any relationship, and business is no different. WhatsApp is a platform many of us use daily to talk with friends and family. By being available on WhatsApp, your company feels closer and more accessible. Customers can reach you in a more informal and direct way, which helps build a stronger, more trusting relationship

4. Optimize your time and resources

With WhatsApp Business, you can automate replies to frequently asked questions, sort conversations with labels, and keep everything organized. This not only saves you time, it also improves your team's efficiency in managing communications with customers.

5. Integrate WhatsApp into your marketing strategy

A WhatsApp link is not just a customer service tool. You can also integrate it into your marketing campaigns. Do you have a promotion or a special offer? Send your customers to your WhatsApp so they can get more details or access exclusive discounts. It is an excellent way to generate more interactions and, ultimately, increase your sales.

How to create a WhatsApp link for your company

WhatsApp is a powerful tool for companies that want to stay in direct contact with their customers. Having a WhatsApp link makes this communication easier and can be a key piece for improving customer service and increasing conversions. Below, we show you how to create your WhatsApp link easily.

Step 1: Format your WhatsApp number

Before creating your link, you need to make sure your phone number is in the right international format. This means you must include the country code, without the "+" sign, and omit any leading 0. For example, if your number in Colombia is 3001234567, the correct format would be 573001234567.

Step 2: Create your basic WhatsApp link

The next step is to create the link using WhatsApp's official format. Just add your number at the end of the following URL: https://wa.me/your_number For example, if your number is the one we mentioned earlier, the link would look like this: https://wa.me/573001234567

Step 3: Customize a welcome message

To improve the user experience, you can customize a message that is sent automatically when someone clicks your link. To do this, add the following code at the end of your link:
?text=your_custom_message

For example, if you want the message to say "Hi, I'd like more information about Atom", your link would look like this:
https://wa.me/50766617374?text=Hi%20I%20would%20like%20more%20information%20about%20Atom

Remember that spaces in the message must be replaced with %20.

Step 4: Share your WhatsApp link

Once you have created and customized your link, it is time to share it. You can include it on your website, your social media, your emails, or even your email signature. This makes it easier for potential customers to contact you directly through WhatsApp.

Step 5: Use WhatsApp Business for advanced options

If you are using WhatsApp Business, you can take advantage of additional features such as labels, automatic messages, and quick replies. Here is how to do it:

  1. Open WhatsApp Businessand go to "Settings".
  2. Select "Business Tools" and then "Short Link".
  3. Copy and Customize Your Link: WhatsApp Business lets you set a default welcome message directly from the app, which simplifies the process.

How to create a WhatsApp link on iPhone

If you use an iPhone, the process is almost identical. However, here are the specific steps for iOS users:

  1. Open Safari: Open Safari and go to the URL https://wa.me/.
  2. Enter Your Number: Follow the steps above to enter your number in international format and add your custom message if you wish.
  3. Save Your Link: You can save the link as a bookmark or even create a shortcut on your home screen for faster access.

Why it is important to have a WhatsApp link for your company

Implementing a WhatsApp link in your communication strategy offers multiple benefits:

  • Direct and Fast Access: Customers can contact you without saving your number, improving the user experience.
  • Better Customer Service: With a direct communication channel, inquiries can be resolved faster.
  • More Conversations: Making WhatsApp easier to reach can increase interactions and, in turn, sales opportunities.

Use WhatsApp Business with a Meta partner

Working with a Meta partner gives you access to certified experts who can optimize the implementation of tools like the WhatsApp Business API, design advanced marketing campaigns, and provide ongoing support. They also ensure your company complies with Meta's policies and handles data securely, all while helping you scale and improve the efficiency of your digital operations.

Conclusion

Having a WhatsApp link is a simple decision with a real impact. It brings people closer, speeds up conversations and turns interest into action without friction. When contact is immediate, opportunities move forward faster.

Integrating WhatsApp strategically lets you move from answering messages to building relationships, optimizing time and scaling results. A single click can be the start of a conversation that actually moves forward, with context, continuity and value for your business

WhatsApp is already the channel. Now the challenge is to use it with intention and strategy.

Questions about how to create a WhatsApp link

What is a WhatsApp link and what is it for?

It is a link that opens a conversation on WhatsApp with your company directly. It lets anyone message you in one click, without saving your number.

How do I create a WhatsApp link for my business?

You only need your number in international format and the official structure:
https://wa.me/your_number.
You can add an automatic message to start the conversation.

Can I use a WhatsApp link on my website or in ads?

Yes. The link works on web pages, social media, email signatures and ads. It is ideal for Click to WhatsApp campaigns and direct lead capture.

What is the difference between a regular WhatsApp link and WhatsApp Business?

The link works in both, but with WhatsApp Business you can add automatic messages, labels and conversation organization to scale support.
