Free WhatsApp Link Generator

Create a wa.me click-to-chat link that opens a WhatsApp chat with your number, with an optional pre-filled message. Paste it in your bio, email signature, ads or website. No signup, nothing stored.

WhatsApp link generator

Enter your number with the country code. The link updates as you type.

How it works

A click-to-chat link is a normal web address that opens a WhatsApp chat with a given number. The format is https://wa.me/<number>, where the number is written in full international format: country code first, digits only, no plus sign, no spaces and no leading zeros. Add ?text= followed by URL-encoded text to pre-fill the first message. WhatsApp documents this format for both the WhatsApp Business app and the Business Platform.

The generator above cleans the number for you (it strips spaces, plus signs, dashes and a leading 00), encodes your message correctly and also shows the longer api.whatsapp.com/send?phone= form, which behaves the same way.

  • Website: a contact button or a link in the footer. For a floating button, use the WhatsApp chat button generator.
  • Print and in store: turn the link into a WhatsApp QR code for flyers, packaging and shop windows.
  • Social profiles and email signatures: one tap to a chat instead of copying a number.
  • Ads: Click-to-WhatsApp ads open the same chat; the pre-filled text helps you tell which campaign a conversation came from.

Tips for pre-filled messages

  1. Keep it short and written from the customer's point of view, for example "Hi, I would like to know more about the starter plan".
  2. Use a different message per placement (website, flyer, ad) so you can see where chats come from.
  3. Do not put personal data or order numbers in a public link; anyone can read it.
  4. Test the link on your own phone before you print or publish it.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need the WhatsApp Business API for this? No. The link works with a normal number on the WhatsApp Business app or personal WhatsApp. The API matters when you need several agents, automation or message templates at scale.

Is the generator free? Yes. It runs entirely in your browser; the number and message are not sent anywhere or stored.

Can I add a message in another language or with emojis? Yes. The text is URL-encoded, so any characters work.

Does the person who clicks have to save my number? No. The chat opens directly. They need WhatsApp installed, or WhatsApp Web on a computer.

What about consent? Someone who messages you first has started the conversation. Sending marketing messages later needs their opt-in, which depends on your country and setup. This is not legal advice.

Answer the chats this link brings in

Once customers message you, momo puts WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, email and web chat in one inbox. It answers from your own content with sources, and hands over to your team when it is not sure.
